8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
Brewery draught, 8/30/24. Moderately hazy, bronze-copper-maize. Scant head. Juicy citra with a good bitter edge to it and tons of cracker malt. Clean, fruity, robust. Juicy as all hell with a bitter edge the whole way through. Wow, that's unique! Never gets too sweet or soft but stays juicy and fruity and heavily flavorful with no resin. Lingering fruity ester, pineapple, mango and red grapefruit.

Lukr at the brewery, 8/30/24. Unfiltered lemony-golden. Sizeable head steadily to light cover. Nose is clean, snappy, very aromatic. Plentiful fresh herbs, bread dough the and very light honey nuances. Soft mineral galore. Paper and cracker in the mouth. A bit heavily drying on the tongue without any necessary rich/soft/deep malt. Flavors are excellent, with gently bitter, herbaceous hops.

7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Can at home in Canaan. Picked up from the brewery. Pours faintly hazed pale yellow with a fluffy, white topping. Light to medium sweet flavour with doughy, bready pale biscuits, nips of citrus, straw. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pleasant finish, but more pale bread, relaxed bitterness. Very drinkable stuff.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a fading, foamy white head. Light sweet flavour with simple bready, biscuity pale malts, some cereal, straw. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Fairly clean finish, a little fruity, more pale bread, dough. Easygoing.

Can at home in Canaan. Picked up from the brewery. Pours mostly clear, yellow-gold with a creamy, white topping. Medium sweet flavour, nice and dank, weedy, some onion, melon, tangerine, lemon rind. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Slight resin in the finish, a little pale bread, more dank hops, citrus accents. Nice one overall.

16 oz can shared by Adamchander! Aroma is brownie batter dipped in bourbon. Flavor follows with a slight sweet, chocolate, multi finish. Abv is well hidden it doesn’t come off Boozey at all. Nice brew!

750mL bottled 11/23/2022. Clear brass-honey-maize. No head. Pineapple, vanilla, soft oak and juicy, tropical hop. Round, honey-like malts. No booze. Oaky, juicy, lots of pineapple and coconut oak tannin. Juicy, tropical, band aid, still good maltiness. But not too sweet. Juicy, soft, tightly carbonated, nothing weird. I'm in to it.
