On tap. Pours with a hazed golden-orange hued body with a thin white head. Aromas are cidery, floral, under ripe plum, massive ester, acetone, alcohol and lightly grainy malt. Flavors are grape like, very hot, acetone, alcohol, extremely estery, peppery, mild vinous, fruity, and a lot of alcohol. Thin, warming medium carbonation. Not the best beer I’ve had from this brewery.

On tap. Wet hopped if I remember correctly. Pours with a hazed golden hued body with a retentive white head. Aromas are very dank and grassy, tangerine, medium DMTS character (garlic/onion) with low malt and light ester. Flavors are herbaceous, dank, citrus, tangerine, DMTS, some pine. Low malty, clean and dry. Lively carbonation. Dry. A bit over the top on the pungent hop profile.

Nitro tap. Pours with a crystal clear yellow hued body with a white head. Aromas are grainy, clean and lightly estery, low toast. Pretty crisp and non offensive. Hard to smell with the nitro treatment on a pint in a busy bar. Flavors are grainy, salty, seltzery, light ester, sweet cornbread, medium hop, medium low bitterness. Clean and straight forward. Easy to drink. Creamy, nitro carbonation cannot hide a very thin body. Dry.

Bottle. Hazy light orange liquid with small to medium off-white head. Aroma of white wine, cereal, oak, sweet light fruit and some biscuit. Taste is dry, light bitter and light to medium sour with notes of wine and weird fruit. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Just too weird, didn’t really enjoy it.
