Excellent IPA, juicy and sweet without being cloy, with tropical and stonefruit notes offset by a gentle pine bitterness. Finishes crisp with lingering fruit. Tasty

Stellar wheatwine, remarkably nuanced for such a massive pint, with notes of caramel, brûléed banana, dried currants, vanilla, and forest honey. Finishes with a touch of cinnamon and a modest boozy bitterness. Nice pint.

Can ordered from Tap Door on-line. Aroma combines sweet chocolate and coffee with some berry sharpness. Stygian. Cola tint. Foamy light beige head thins our. Berries lead the way. Tangy. Followed by coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Blackcurrant & liquorice sweets... develops a sweet streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Big berryy Porter. Yum.

From a pint can. Pours a slightly pink-tinged copper with a quickly receding off white head. Aromas of strawberries and lemon. Flavors are tart lemon.

Very much not a “classic American pale ale”, coming across a lot more like a session IPA, what with its initial burst of bright citrus-tropical hops and a complete lack of maltiness on the back end. Vegetal note in the fade. Kind of a miss.

Third beer in my American tasting session (on my own), 26th April 2024 at home. US Pint can from The Beers of America and poured (twice) into my lovely thistle shaped Gordon Finest Gold glass. Almost black bodied, great foaming tanned head, looked spectacular in the thistle shaped glass actually. Singed, over roasted, burnt toasted maltiness in the initial sips. Malty aroma with dark chocolate and coffee esters, hints of sweaty ladies bicycle seats (or the beers name might have led me to think that). Anyway I quite enjoyed this malt forward Porter (aren't all Porters malt forward?).

Monday, 1st April 2024; Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Five guys with beers to share and stories to tell. US Pint can from The Beers of America and brought by me to the share. Clean golden body, wispy white top. Nutty and vanilla vibes, interesting from the start, didn't get the coconut though.
