On tap at Devil's Elbow. Pours murky yellow with a white head. A bit of pine on the nose, but mostly moldy lemons. Flavour has some dry old pine and lemon peels. A bit old and pretty uninteresting.

Can pour at East Side Beer Fest. Pours clear deep amber with off-white head. Dry caramel on the nose. Flavour has dry bready malts. Fairly tame, but decent enough.

473mL can, pours a lightly hazed golden with a small white head. Nose reveals gentle piney hops, a hint of dank resins, and soft biscuity malt. Flavour reveals bright resinous hops, some pine, a little earthiness, and some bready malt. Reasonably bright hop expression, but there’s a sort of dullness to it on the back end. Good construction, solid beer.

473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild aroma of crackery pale malt and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon, grass and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and thirst quenching.

Nitro pour at Darby's. Pours opaque dark brown with a crisp beige nitro head. Roasted malts on the nose. Flavour profile is mostly roasted malts, dry, a bit watery. On par for a dry nitro stout.

Flight pour at Darby's. Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma has resin. Flavour has bitter citrus peel up front, followed by resin. Quite bitter throughout. Unbalanced, but their heart is in the right place.

Bright amber, medium head. Mellow hop nose, good body, medium bitterness, fruity, good complexity. I’m liking this one.
