On tap at Matchless, pours an opaque cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with pithy tropical stone fruits, piney hops, just a hint of dankness and soft biscuity malt. Flavour is super juicy, with pithy stone fruits, tropical fruits, piney and resinous hops, and biscuity malt. Juicy, tropical, yet not sweet at all. This is delicious.

16 oz. can from Jeremy. Pale golden with small foamy head. Light bodied, faint grainy aroma. Taste is straight up grainy lager, even lighter due to the rice. Pretty tasty though.

16 oz can poured. A dense, hazy golden orange pour with a soap bubble head. An IPA that sounds perfect, per the brewers advertising. Floral and sweet juicy fruit aroma. Thick, creamy flavor. Cool, slightly sweet oat like grains, behind a strong juicy hop profile. Lingering cool cream finish. Packed full of flavor. Matchless continues to impress.

Draft pour at Brouwers Cafe. So, I know I'm a huge fan of Matchless beers. All the hoppy goodness and all. Started to make me think that hops were what they do best. Maybe I'm wrong. This sour brown is among some of the best I've had. Dark, reddish brown pour. Plenty of bubbling pink foam head. Aroma is a dominant fresh red cherries, tart and extremely impressionable. Such a true sour cherry going on here. All the right flavors. Cherry juice, slightly jammy. Cherry pie linger. The perfect gift for the beer lover, sour beer lover, cherry lover, or just anybody that likes fine things. Perhaps the most impressive beer from Matchless yet. Can't say enough about this beer.
