Bottle. Hazy orange with a white head. Juicy aroma with sweet pineapple, honeydew melon, menthol. Light bodied - a bit watery even. Tropical fruit, some pine and spices. Not much in the way of malt; feels a bit empty for 5%. Moderate bitterness. Refreshing.

Bottle. Plae, slightly hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of minerals with lemons, some berries. Very slighly sour. Fuller bodied than you might expect at 4%, a slight slipperiness to it might account for that. Some berries, a bit cardboardy. Not at salty as the first whiff suggests. OK.

#2000. Near black with a tan head. Toasty coconut, caramel malt, big chocolate, light booze, toasted malt. Finish is sweet coconut with a hint of bittersweet chocolate. Chewy, but medium body. Stellar brew. This was my favorite brew at Beervana, 2014.
