Multiple cans from and draft at Drafting Table for their 9th Anniversary. Pours a hazy, glowing straw gold with a pillowy finger of white foam that lingers. Pineapple, fresh cut mango, starfuit and dank on the nose. A bit of resin and pith on the palate with more tropical fruit notes. Pillowy mouthfeel, but leans dry on the finish.

Howler from the brewery. A fully hazy golden yellow with a white head. Strong citrus aroma (orange, grapefruit), tropical fruit, piney hops. Creamy orange flavor, which I imagine is what they were going for, tropical flavor, fairly sweet (but not overly so). Works well.

Draft at DT and multiple cans at home. Pours a clear orange gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Grapefruit, dank berry and pine on the nose. Palate is similar with more dank wildberry next to pine and pith. Balanced, but leans citrusy, with notes of berry and dank on the finish. Finish leans a touch dry.

16 oz can from the brewery. A black pour with a tan head. Aroma heavy on cocoa, syrupy molasses and dark fruit, with a strong suggestion of alcohol. Flavor is very sweet, syrupy cocoa and molasses, coffee. Definitely a heavy hitter. Solid, but very sweet.
