On tap at the Thirsty Moose Taphouse Merrimack. Pours a lightly murky golden lemon kind of thing with a thin off white head that has fair retention. Lemony tartness with pineapple with bits of tropical fruit. Nice Kettle sour.

16 oz. can. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Mild chocolate, lightly chewy oatmeal body. Ends on light roast and ashy barley. I respect that they didn’t put lactose in this! The brewing world doesn’t need more lactose sugar. Thank you Great Rhythm!

Canned 1/18/22, drunk 1/24/22. Heavily hazy, sunset-orange with a medium sized, frothy, white head that shows moderate retention. Soft floral notes accompany juicy fruits of mango, melon, tangerine, and are augmented/softened by bubble gum-like yeast. Malts add a bland biscuit and/or light cracker with minimal honey, though still feel supportive. Does not seem boozy or twangy. Lightly bitter with chalk, cannabis, light tropical fruits, juicy citrus and finally a big burst of bubble gum. Phew, maybe a bit heavy-handed there. But the texture is soft, comforting, well-attenuated and malty. I like the lack of twangy hops and yet there is still a balancing bitterness. Not just a can of sweet juice. Still, gotta relax on that bubble gum character....

Can, undated but a 10/25 sticker on the 4 pack holder, drunk 1/23/22. Medium-to-heavy haziness, canteloupe-golden with a medium-sized, well-retained, white head. Nose has a touch of pine which leads to juicy notes of citrus and very soft mango and papaya. Cracker and honey malts share space and there's no weird/bubble gummy yeast. Clean without any twang or alcohol. Soft and juicy in the mouth with a firm, malty texture that also shows good attenuation. Pine overlays everything, but doesn't bite with resin or too much acidity. Heavy citrus, otherwise with biscuit and honey. Clean, no booze. Not sure if this really was canned 3 months ago. If so, this would have been an absolute beast when fresh. It doesn't seem like it; feels quite fresh (and the fact that the other 4 pack from them on the shelf was canned 3 days ago, makes me think this couldnt be 3 months old).

Taster pour as part of a flight at Thirsty Moose, Exeter. It's a deeply hazy yellow with greenish tinge, no sparkle, ring of off-white head and light ring of lacing. Aroma is moderately strong lemon and orange. Lesser pineapple. Taste is strong lemon and pineapple. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with light lingering yeast and bitterness. Overall, good strength to the aroma and flavor with pineapple captured better in the flavor.

5 oz. draft. Clear golden yellow. Aroma and flavor are a match. Crackers, yeast, soft sweet grain. Finished a little sweet but clean. Pretty much spot on representation of the style.

Taster pour on tap at NH Brewfest. Appearance is opaque dark yellow with no discernible sparkle, minimal cap of white head. Aroma is good amount of grapefruit, citrus, very nice. Taste is very strong grapefruit, pine; flavorful but fairly bitter. A little more than I'd like. Milder citrus. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, somewhat heavy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, strong, but straightforward flavors that used to be a dime a dozen but are less common now; well crafted but a little too bitter for my tastes.

No date on the can. Flavor is strong citrus; a touch of pine, a mild grassy note. Mild bitterness with a slightly juicy character. As it warms the alcohol comes forward. Good slightly above average for me.
