Pour is more of a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is peach hops. Flavor is some fruity hops a little white sugar and a bitterness. This was fine for a low abv pale ale, nothing to go out looking for though.

Pour is a clear and uber light looking gold with a large white head. Aroma is corn and syrupy malt. Flavor is a little better than I thought it was going to be. Some dry bready malt with maybe a touch of spicy rye. Finish is clean and gone in a second. Drinkable.

Pour is a cloudy gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is a creamy dry blonde malt. Flavor is more dry pils malt with a little bitterness on the back end. Nothing earth shaking but a decent simple pils.

Sampled from can at Orange and Brew. Color is definitely like the red part of the Bomb Pop on the can. Smell is, well, kind of lactic and tart, but what would one expect. Slight, fizzy head with each little pour. Taste has that cherry and some lime tartness, two fruits that we've often had together. Against these two tart face smacks, the raspberry is pretty subdued. Sour is promised, sour is delivered.

On tap at GTOM. Pours yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is wheat, dough, lemon zest. Slick body, wheat, citrus, lacto, light tartness, good.

12 oz goblet. Solid black, with a persistent brown head. I can easily pick up the molΓ© chiles here, with just a tinge of chocolate and coffee roast malt behind it. Wonderfully smooth imperial stout taste. Chiles are not hot, just adding to the smooth stout taste; not completely like a molΓ© sauce. But a great blend of cocoa and Chile pepper that goes just right with a 10.6% abv stout. Some roasty bitterness comes in further down the glass. Loving this.

12oz bottle as Hattori Hanzo. 5.2%. Filtered orange-tan body. Thin, glass-lacing, steady head. Bright and clean in some ways, mostly filtration. Still has a hefty, classical malt depth. In no way a Session IPA, hope that changes by the time you read this. Lemongrass and dill is a pretty accurate description of the hop flavors, some NW pine in there too. Pretty good beer.

12oz bottle. Filtered copper body. Foamy off-white head. A pretty well balanced, classic IPA. The filtration keeps it drinkable, the crystal malt gives it a pleasant body. Orange rind, mellow NW hop tone, maybe a hint of Mosaic or something more modern. Solid offering.
