16 oz can poured, surprisingly found and picked up at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Surprised and not surprised. Eric is the man! Cloudy, yet bright golden orange pour. Always a treat to try a brew from my favorite sub style. Petitioning to make it it's own style, one rate at a time. Garden pepper nose. Flavor is super "green" with pepper flavor, and little to no heat. I feel like the cream sweetness cancels out the pepper heat, and we are left with some garden like malt, mild peppers flavor. Lingering palate is about identical to the flavor palate of eating a taco. Good thing you got a taco truck out front, and some Mezcal, Matt!

On tap at Willimantic, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of stone fruits, moderate dank hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is super juicy, with loads of juicy tropical stone fruits, moderate dank hops and citrus. So juicy and tropical. This is awesome.

Curious gimmick, completely pointless, really, brewing a light-colored beer and then adding enough adjuncts it tastes in the vicinity of a chocolate milk stout. Sweet, with a noticeable choco-vanilla backbone that makes you wonder how “natural” the natural flavors listed on the can actually are. Hints of marshmallow and caramel add to the sweetness, ultimately growing cloy and hollow as the pint warms. But, hey, it’s an amber stout, so...hooray? Pass.

Pours deep hazy blood orange into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Coffee and caramel aromas. Soft with sweet mocha and vanilla front to back. Becomes cloying and bitter in the lasting finish.

Draught @ City Hops. Clear golden with large foamy off-white head, orange peel aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter orange peel taste with mango, light alcohol undertones, thin body, long finish with boozy aftertaste. Tastes a bit boozy, could be masked better.

16 oz can from Tavour. Orange golden pour, fluffy head, clumpy lacing. Aroma is hoppy, light citrus. Taste continues with the hops, sharp and biting, orange peel. Not a NEIPA, but a big hoppy DIPA.

Pour is a almost clear orange with a small white head. Aroma is of a fresh cut orange with the sugar to go along. Flavor is again pretty much all orange fresh cut right from the tree. No malt shows up and for being so orange forward not a lot of bitterness shows up as well. Not one of those hazy IPA's but definitely very orange fruity forward.
