Can thanks to Drake! Hazy gold with a white head. Wheat, peach, light floral notes in the nose. Flavor is orange peel, wheat, grapefruit. Bitterness lingers. Quite good.

Bottle thanks to Drake! Pours black with a brown head. Chocolate chip cookie, roasted malt, deep chocolate nose. Flavor is dark chocolate, roasted, slightly burnt malt. Little else. Little sweetness, but not cuttingly bitter. Good, but a bit one-note in the flavor.

Pint can with many thanks to Drake! Hazy gold with a white head. Slightly rotten citrus, light floral notes in the nose. Flavor is orange and tangerine, mango?, black tea, almost blackberry... this is tasty - much nicer than the nose.

The aromas are caramel malt and resin hops. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose but with a heavy metallic quality. Fairly dry, strong carbonation and a lingering bitterness.

12oz can. Way to bright in color to be considered true to style. It does have some big English malt tones though, heavy toffee, nuts, caramel. Pleasant balance, not hoppy enough to be a bitter, but sort of like that as much as a Mild. Quality malt tones work for me. OK.

12oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Steady, thick, white head. Pretty tasty beer. I like how wheat forward it is, more so than similarly tasting NE IPAs. Simcoe and Chinook work well too, almost a cooling bitter effect. The aroma isn't that impressive, probably its weakest component. Pleasant and drinkable. OK.
