Draft. A deep red beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roated malt, which lends the beer a slight acidity.

Can. Coppery amber color with a decent off-white head. Citrus hop aroma; strong. Near medium in body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is rather grapefruit over some roasted malt. Finish is nicely bitter. Perhaps a little harsh, but you don’t get IBUs without assaulting the cells. A really good IPA.

12oz CAN wow what a can of beer. This is the best can I have had. I know I said this with old chub once before. Pours out a cloudy amber topped with a cream off white head. A great hop aroma along with tast. A nice bitter and sweet mix. Very good.

Very refreshing and hoppy aroma. Hazy gold color with a white head that ringed. Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. It’s chewy. The flavor is pale malt completely overwhelmed by wonderful citrus and pine hoppy bitter. Maybe some floral hop. The finish is clean, crisp, and nicely bitter. This is really good stuff. Really. There’s light stone fruit in here, not just citrus.
