Sample at the "HOOOOFFHEEARRTTTTEEDDDDDD!" tasting on 11/09/2015. Hazy orange-amber color with a medium fluffy white head that recedes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, citrus and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft. Atomic Fireball cinnamon candy aroma. Deep murky red, minimal head. Sweet cinnamon candy flavor. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Definitely a novelty beer. After a few sips, I was done, as there was nothing but candy going on.

Draft. Wheat malt and orange aroma. Hazy yellow gold with a large white head. Wheat malt, orange, and band-aid flavor. Light body, soft carbonation. I didn’t get any tequila/oak out of this one at all, and band-aid seems to be a common flavor with this brewer.
