Poured a medium-dark brown ale, with some clear ruby edges on it, with a medium sized light tan head. Some nuttiness, nice light spice character that doesn't overpower the base beer. Nice winter ale. Crowler from brewery.

Tall can. Hazy dark yellow with a sticky white head. Spicy citrus aroma. The flavor is somewhat fruity, watered down grapefruit with mild bitterness. A bit watery, could use more body and more intensity.

Pint can from the brewery. Poured a hazy light orange color with a small white head. Aroma was huge citrus, hop leaf. Notes of stone fruits, peach pit, light pineapple. Really nice stuff.

16oz can, purchased at the brewery to-go. Poured super cloudy, kind of ruby-orange color with a very small head. Aroma was a blast of blueberries. I was handed this blind, so I thought I was picking up tart raspberries and lemon, but it was just lemon and blueberry. Easy to drink considering the abv is a touch higher.

16oz can, purchased at the brewery to-go. Poured cloudy, like a mimosa. Medium sized, fizzy white head dissipates. Aroma was orange, light sweet juice. Nice pleasant floral character to it. Creamy, citrus character found in so many hazy beers found here too. Guava, mango, light tangerine. Super smooth. Really good stuff.

Draft at the brewery. Black pour with a mocha head. Roasty, nutty aroma. The flavor is roasty with just enough sweetness to balance it nicely. Creamy, smooth.
