Can pour at mass brew fest, hazy, pale, yellow ring of head. Aroma is strong, melon, berry, lighter citrus. Taste taste follows aroma with pine no resin. Smooth texture soft carbonation finish as taste. Quite good.

Can pour at mass brew fest. Deeply hazy yellowish purple with light sparkle ring of head, light lace. Aroma is strong blueberry with some pie crust. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth texture soft carbonation finish as taste. This isn't just another blueberry beer. They get the crust flavor in there as well--that’s blueberry pie! Especially good for ABV.

Bought the can today. Lighter colored pumpkin, yellow orange. Nose is light spice and squash. Tastes of some pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon. But thin watery and unsatisfying. The pumpkin flavors and spicing too faint to offer any substance

Pours a hazy yellow from a can. Lemony aroma and flavor. Can said 7.3% and hopped with mosaic, simcoe and citra? Good beer.

Can at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Chalky, cloudy, muted purple-violet. Beige-tan-orange head is small, showing low retention. Big, juicy-tart, blackberry syrup with a sugary backing. Some biscuit and honey from the malt with lactic character lingering. Juicy, lightly-to-moderately sweet with tons of fruit flavor. Soft, lightly syrupy body with plentiful sugar, thinning out on the end. Clean, lightly spicy. A bit disjointed, a bit thin, a bit sugary.

Can at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Moderately hazy, pale-brass-bronze. Small, white head showing moderate retention. Really lovely white wine, soft mineral, hints of juicy guava and lingering soft white bread/dough from the sparse malts. Bit of punchy lemon lingering, as well. Light bitterness, soft, rather vapid, doughy texture with no depth or maltiness. Supremely undermalted and even the relatively lovely nose doesn't translate here. Just a bit of pineapple, pepper and piney acid on the finish. Very disappointing.

I’m holding a pint can of Honey Pilsner brought to me from Massachusetts by a friend of the family. A new brewery, that is good. A pilsner, that is unexciting. But we try them all, don’t we. I open the can and am tasting it that way. Well, I do say, for a pilsner, this is a step up. Malt, a corn presence, crackers and the honey is there. Different in a good way.

Can (10/15/20) pour from Rotary Liquors, West Springfield. Appearance is opaque dark brown with decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width khaki head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong toasted coconut over roasted coffee. Taste is strong toasted coconut, bittersweet roasted coffee, chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, really strong toasted coconut

Cask, GBBF. Smoky aroma? No way, I only smell cherries. Thin. Very dark, almost opague with just a bit of sourness coming up. Otherwise sweetish. Indeed, some smokiness in the flavor, but it cant be compared with the great Bamberg rauchbiers. Some fruit, especially pineapple. Nice beer, very drinkable, but certainly not great.
