Beer Republic Advent Calendar day 9. Packaged June 18, 2025 in Oregon, drunk in Germany. Nearly clear, light gold, small head. Spicy citrus hop nose on light caramel. Smooth bitterness, caramel candy lozenge, lots of citrus and a sparkling front-palate mouthfeel. Pretty good one, would love to have it fresh.

Can from the local Grocery Outlet. Pours clear bright gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is juicy with orange and melon. Arguably med body. Fairly dry tho pale malt is discernible. Moderately bitter. Flavor is orange, melon and perhaps passion fruit. NIce flavor. --- Beer merged from original tick of Prismatic on 20 Jan 2018 at 20:20 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: Can from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is juicy, but the aroma seems unusal. Med body. Flavor is sort of juicy, but I'm not getting a burst of tropical flavors. Maybe, just maybe I can get quava. Somehow the hype and the ale aren't in sync here. Yet it is indeed juicy at all times - just not very intensely or flavorfully.

Dull hazy gas station can with orange and pine. Base malts are functional, but that's about it.

0.355l bottle. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, nuts and dried fruit. Pours pitch black color with thin creamy light brown head and fair lacing. Taste starts with mild sweet but rich roasted malt, following is nutty, ashy and earthy with dark chocolate note, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Smooathie…

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy straw colour, lively head. Faint aroma of orange and coriander. Mid sweet with light to medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. White bread and mild coriander. Low bitterness.
