Month old pint can A: Rich orange gold color with a short but lasting off white head. S: Muted malt forward aroma of caramel, toast and citrusy hops. T: Bitter evergreen hop notes of pine and juniper fleshed out a bit by grapefruit or lemon pith. Faint toasty malts don't live up to the nose. M: Light, crisp and dry with stiff carbonation and clean finish. O: Fairly one dimensional pine bomb. Not bad but seems to be missing something.

OK. this I think is going to turn out like the 'don't judge a book by its cover' thing. I see fig and honey on the cover of this can, so I am expecting fig and honey. It pours from a can, retrieved from total wine, into a glass and has a totally clear pale look with a nice big fluffy head. It does have a pretty looking rolling effect out of the can and into the glass. Nose is a somewhat off saison olfactory of mild weirdness. First taste however, is not what I was expecting. Its quite bitter and rude, even for a saison. Strange strong volatile near phenolic astringent bite. The alky is upfront on this one. Yes, even somewhat nasty. Let me see you find the fig and honey in this, I dare you; its virtually absent. Bait & switch I'll say on this one, quite disappointing: Sorry brewprint.

Can from total wine NC. Big foaming pour from a can. Very lively carbonation on the palate, nice. Man, I'm liking the cutting co2 in this brew. Actually burns the roof of my mouth a bit! Taste initially is very good hefe. Comes across like the old country stuff. In the middle it has a little bit if processed uncivil bitter bite in it. Yes, typical banana and just maybe a little bubble gum, but not as much as it should be. In the end it really is a good imitation of the old country brew. Haven't had a good hefe for a while and this is getting close to good, except that mild to medium processed feel it has on the finish.

Got this american IPA can form the son in law, thanks Ben. Slight haze on pale. Perfume permeates the nose. Nice big head. Big bitter hazy ipa taste, that is if haze has a taste. Thick and mouth coating resin. Yes, big nasty bitter on style IPA all th way, what else can be said, ubiquitous hazy IPA.

Alisa brought this one back from NC. +++ Sampled from a can this beer poured a dark caramel brown color with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was toasty malts, caramel, yeast, wood, cola and hints of cocoa and dark fruit. Nicely complex on the nose. The flavor as toasty malts, bread crust, golden fruit, wood, caramel and hint of smoke and some astringency. Long finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

Pint can from Sam's Quik Shop in Durham. Pours clear pale pink with a small white-pinkish tinted head. Nice aroma of sweet cherry, bitter lime, mint, orange oil. Flavor is tart lime, cherry, orange, bread crust. It's not overdone and it's really just a hint of sourness. Nice flavor combo.

12 ounce can into snifter, canned on 7/28/2016. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, and red apple; with light notes of roast, toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, and red apple; with light notes of roast, toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, nuttiness, toasted biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, pear, apricot, red apple, light roast/toffee, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and lightly slick/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this is a very nice scotch ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Rich malts, modest fruity yeast, and light earthy hop balance against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. I am sure the age has improved it, even though I have never had it before.

4 week old can > stemless wine glass. A: Poured hard to a short beige bubbly head. Mostly clear orange gold body with a very unappealing amount of thick shit floating around then thankfully settling. S: Bread, straw. Crisp but malty with herbal hop note hardly there. T: Malty flavor of nutty brown bread and slight herbal hops. Finishes on an off leafy note. M: Light as expected but low carbonation and strong maltiness add to an unpleasant finish. O: To clean this shit up would be a waste of time as it is not worth saving.

Bottle. Can’t remember where I got this one, maybe just Total Wine. Hazy to cloudy amber brown color, big fluffy light beige head, see pic please. Aroma has tannins, red wine, burnt caramel. Taste is vinous caramel. Really interesting combination that more or less works.
