Crowler at home, picked up at the brewery on Friday. Murky yellow orange appearance with a apcream colored head. Aroma has orange blossom, honey, tropical fruit, and some pine. Off dry. Kinda thin/watery which is weird. Bitterness is a bit on the high side. Nice flavor which some mango, pineapple, graham cracker, and candy. Pretty good but not great. I’d take Juicy Bits over this.

Crowler at home, picked up at the brewery yesterday. Hazy orange appearance with a big, fluffy, tan head. A ton of juicy fruit like mangos, oranges, lemons along with some candy and bubblegum notes. Soft mouthfeel. Bitterness is a bit on the high side, even more so than Juicy Bits. I like the flavor on this one better than Juicy Bits. It’s on the sweet side too which isn’t my preference. Pretty good.

32 ounce crowler picked up at the brewery earlier today for $12. Hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Aroma has some spice, especially onion, and a bunch of tropical fruit like mangos, oranges, and pineapple. A little chunky with some bready notes. Moderate to moderate plus bitterness. Off dry. Lots of fruit and an enjoyable flavor but the bitterness is a bit high. Tough to say if it’s worth $12/32oz growler but it is an enjoyable beer.

Crowler, thanks to Brian! Pours hazy orange, with a medium, foamy, tan head. The nose is pine and caramel, with some mango, orange juice, and roses. Sweet and lightly malty up front, with a significant bitterness. Light to medium body, a little astringent, crisp, and clean. This is a solid, aromatic IPA, but not as good as the regular juicy bits.

Crowler, thanks to Brian. Dark brown color, almost black, with a medium, bubbly, tan head. The nose is acidic coffee, strong toasted coconut, bittersweet chocolate, and toffee. Sweet and very malty, with a mild bitterness. Heavy body, syrupy, clingy, and sticky.

Black color. The cinnamon is dominant in the aroma, with dark chocolate. Soft mouthfeel, with strong alcohol presence, then liquid dark chocolate, malt acidity, strong cinnamon.
Excellent.

375ml bottle (thx, Louis-Philippe!) at my place with Alex and Ash. Bottled 2016-09-23. Pours an almost black with a brown head. Aroma is lots of cinnamon, coffee notes, sweetness. Same taste. Pleasant, but too much of cinnamon IMO.

32 oz crowler courtesy of a friend, thanks Min! Black with tan head. Aromas of milk and dark chocolate, sweet nutty notes. Tastes of milk and dark chocolate, sweet nutty notes, light caramel and roast. Full body with a dry finish. Alcohol is very well hidden for 10.5%. Very tasty.

Bottle share. Fruity, citrus aroma. Very pale golden, skin of airy head. Citrusy aroma follows through to taste. Lighter in body, but full of taste and full bodied.
