Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. It's an opaque black (dark brown at the bottom of the glass) with nice sparkle, a few white floaties, light viscosity, finger-width beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is tons of dark fruit, roasted malt, chocolate and hint of anise. Taste is strong roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, toffee and background dark fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-lively carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, nice complexity without overwhelming strength. A little over carbonated for the style.

Hazy with citrus hop aroma. Some sweet malt backbone, high citrus hop flavors without the bitter aftertaste. Good example of the style.

16 oz can from John, thanks man, 7/28/21. Canned 6/10/21. Hazy yellowish-orange color with a foamy beige head that dissipates fairly quickly. Bright peach, melon. Tons of mango, papaya. Very juicy and sweet. Tons of tropical fruit. The aroma is slightly more fun than the taste, but both are pretty good. A bit of rind-style bitterness to it. Pretty good.

16 oz can via John, thanks man, 7/20/21. Hazy yellowish-orange color with an off-white head and some lighter lace on the glass. Peach, grapefruit, and a little herbal tea. Smooth, somewhat of an oat / grain feel. Bit of an herbal thing on a moderately dry close. Slight old dry hops note as well. Solid overall.

Roast and some coffee. Definitely has more of a salted caramel sense, not super in your face with the caramel. Black pour with de ent head. Bitter end.
