Draught at source: pours super pale yellow with white head. Aroma is grainy and lightly hoppy. Taste is lightly sweet, low bitterness. Solid.

On tap at the brewery. Pours golden with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is floral, toasted grain, cracker. Light body, grain, grass, citrus, clean finish, very good.

Can from the brewery - been sitting on this one for a minute - this straight up smells and tastes like cold brew coffee (and damn fine cold brew) from the front to the middle - smooth, roasty, dry, lightly smoky - a bit of dark malt sweetness starts to build, only to be counterbalanced some deeply tannic character near the finish - lingering smoke and earthy malt - it’s a damn fine beer.

Weapon of Choice - Vic Secret from Novel Strand Brewing Company

6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Can from the brewery - states 6.3% abv - this beer is making me think I don’t like Vic Secret that much - the hops seem showcased well, but I taste a lot of cheesy character, camphor, garlic - there is a pleasant spiciness and a nice dankness, but the other less pleasant qualities wash this out for me - meh.

Can from the brewery - lightly hazy gold - oh yeah, they hopped the shit out of this one - bursting with citrus and dankness, with tons of tropical mango and pineapple goodness, along with a heaping helping of white grape supplies by the Nelson hops - finishes spicy and bitter without being astringent or overly acidic - yes.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Can from the brewery - whoa, where has this hop been all my beer-drinking life? - complex fruit profile of peach, mango, other mixed tropical notes - assertive bitterness follows, along with moderate to heavy dankness through the finish - a little lemon balm and camphor character - interesting and complex hop characteristics here.

Can from the brewery - it’s been a minute since I’ve had a new Novel Strand beer - I’ve missed what they can do with hops; how vibrant and fresh their character is - this one is bursting with grape, herbaceous notes, pepper, a finishing darkness - dry and bitter finish, with a little kiss of citrus - nice.
