This is a pounder can gift from my daughters, it came from NH! Almost clear pale and then there is this giant head that forbids more than a quarter cup pour into my class. Taste is saison but it definitely has quite a bit of hops in there. Yes, good cutting carbonation. Those hops things are almost coming across as astringent in the middle. The brew out of the bottom of the can is now quite cloudy. Now I see things floating in the glass. Maybe, just perhaps, there is a little bit of pepper in there on the ending. Yes, overall this stuff is not too bad but it could do with a little less of that astringent bite in there.

Pours bright mahogany into a stein. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Dark caramel and candy corn aromas. Sweet with molasses and candy corn upfront turning to earthy hay before the lasting nutty toffee finish.

$4.60 pint can, WW. Pale lavender-gold with a white head. Aroma is the ocean, light vanilla, light plum. Flavor is plum, vanilla, bread crust, salt.

Pours hazy deep gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving soapy spiders. Pineapple and mango aromas. Medium bodied with overripe tropical fruit skin and lemon joy upfront turning to dirty peel in the lasting finish.

Draft pour at Meridian Pint. Poured a yellowish orange color with a little bit of haze to it. Aroma was light tartness, some coriander and salt. Flavor was light tartness, easy to drink.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Plum aromas. Tart with plum upfront turning to vanilla cobbler in the medium length finish.

Taster pour on tab at NH Brewers Festival. Appearance is very, very dark brown, no discernible sparkle with thin layer of beige head with light lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, little lactose or vanilla--not getting whisky. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate and vanilla, mild coffee, hint of barrel at the tail end rounding it out, supporting it, but not strong at all. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, alcohol warmth nudging up against astringency, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, enjoyable. The barrel is restrained, which is better than it being overwhelming, but would have preferred it slightly higher in the mix.

Pours clear yellow straw into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Hay aromas. Crisp with sweet hay and caramel upfront turning to sourdough in the dry, medium length finish.
