32oz crowler from the brewery pours a clear, dark gold with some frothy white head. Nose has stinky C hops, Simcoe is clear, pine, some soap. There's also some malt and some clear candy that presented as it warmed. It drinks like a West Coast... just not dry. Citrus peel, some candy, wheat. Good amount of soap and pine. Bitter with a nice peppery character on the finish. It's just off dry.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Clear deep brown beer, a few tan bubbles live lonely and mayfly lives. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, very rich, some good fudge brings this up to pastry level. Coffee? A little on the end with soft espresso. Smooth finish shows a bit of fruity bourbon barrel. Dangerously drinkable.

Big juicy fruity number with lots of pithy grapefruit and lemon, citrus peel, mango and lychee, pineapple, accents of gooseberry and melon, touch of citrus rind bitterness, big juicy fruity and hoppy into the finish. Works well, very nice.
