Reviewed from notes.
On tap at the Mule Bar.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: opaque orange thickness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated finely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit juice, orange juice, subtle danky/hemp-ish whiff, mellow extra citrusy hops, super light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a superb bittersweet high quality; brisk finish of orange juice & grapefruit juice and a touch of citrus
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; clean smoothness and barely any hop bitterness
Overall: yeah, HF, don't we all love them? That's some high class stuff right there!

750mL growler filled 1/18/26, drunk 2/27/26.
Lovely wood smoke with a slightly salty edge to it. It's not Schlenkerla levels, but it's more robust than just twigs and old campfire. Clean malt behind adds raisin-specked caramel with brown sugar and not-overdone breadiness easily balancing the smoke. Lightly peppery, herbal hop helps, as well.
Rich caramel malt with light bread and notes of dates and brown sugar. Nicely malty while remaining not too chewy or intense. The smoke is felt after the fact, on the edges of the tongue, sort of lingering with a nice char and pepper. All that said, I was hoping for a bit more attenuation. While it's far from too sweet, it's a bit chewy and sluggish on the finish, where'd I'd like to see crisp and snappy instead. While I like that it creates more appeal to everyone, including those who don't want a glass of bacon, I'd still like to see more smoke character, especially in the flavor.

Bottle from source: pours light orange with white head. Aroma is hefty lime and other citrus. Mild gin notes. Woody generally. Fairly dry. Lightly sour. Powerful adjuncts and barrel notes.

Bottle shared by Chris: pours orange with a small head. Aroma is light mellow farmhousey yeast, with notes of flowers and light fruitiness. The different malt character is evident enough from the nose. Taste is lightly sweet, slight sourness. Ample body. Very drinkable.

Draught @ Fools Gold, Manhattan NYC (Aug 2025). Hazy dark yellow-orange like peach juice, large creamy beige head, coriander/mint-citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango-coriander-citrus taste, smooth body, long finish. Great flavors!

Bottle shared in VT. That’s an impressive one. Lovely soft acidity, some oak, white pepper, lemon peel, white wine, mellow salinity. Hugely drinkable, great depth. Clean, quenching and dry. Superb.

Lovely beer. Refreshing citric twang, notes of lemon, a little salt, tangerine, pale wood, soft minerality, peach. Spritzy and quenching. Tart and cleansing to finish. Immaculate.
