Bottle @ home, picked up in a mixer sixer at Wilbur’s. Pours a cloudy yellow appearance with a nice sized white head. Looks quite nice. The aroma is fine - citrus peel, some coriander, sweet wheat. There is a slight note of gunpowder which is a little odd. Soft mouth feel. Pretty high bitterness, low sweetness. A bit twangy, sweet chewy wheat. Some lemon and pepper. Forgettable but it does look nice.

Sample at Daily Growler Powell. Pours a clear orange-cold color with a medium fluffy off-white head that recedes steadily. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of malt, honey and spices. Medium to full body with flavors of grainy malt, sweet honey, herbs and fruit. The finish is borderline cloyingly sweet herbal honey and malt. Slightly above average overall.

Draught at Apex, Portland, nitro tap
Black color, beige head. Cheap chocolate aroma and flavor, rather light bodied, undrinkable.

Sample at Collaboration Fest on 03/21/2015. The beer is a slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that burns away steadily. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit, wheat and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is wheaty with a mildly bitter herbal hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

2012 vintage from a 22 oz. bottle thanks to Adrien. Aroma is sugary with raisin and a roasted malt and even shows some lasting citrus hops. Flavor shows some lasting bitterness that really surprised me, good balance. Pretty good body with a nice creamy texture.
