12oz bottle. Amber color, some slickness and mildly unclear. Aroma has a lot of green pepper, very strong and natural. There is some dill even. Not the freshest smelling though. Flavor is not spicy, maybe a hint. Again, stale malt.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2017. Pours a hazy golden orange with a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is full of jalapeño with sweet grains and a touch of flora backing. Flavor has a good amount of jalapeño that is somewhat balanced by sweet grains and bread.

Bottle: Hazy amber/gold with a chunky beige head. Pink grapefruit, orange, caramel aroma. Mild, slightly mineral bittering, caramel malt, orange-peel flavour. Not bad, at first........then a sort of acrid/metallic aspect set in....really took a nosedive.

Bottle. Orange, peach, wheat malt, and orange peel/hay aroma. Hazy golden yellow with large white head. Mildly sweet orange, light wheat malt, and moderately bitter orange peel/grass flavor. Body on the light side. Nothing unpleasant but could use more malt flavor.

Bottle: Hazy, yellow-gold with a puffy, off-white head. Grapefruit-peel, grains, orange aroma. Fairly bitter citrus-peel, wheat malt, mineral bittering. The hops dominate.....comes across more like an APA.....just OK.

Draft, 4 ounce sample glass Growler USA, Omaha. It smelled good; light oatmeal, mild coffee. The problem was that it had a sour note in the finish. Tasted like it was going sour. The good people at Growler USA did not charge me for the sample. I will re-rate if I ever see it again.
