On tap at Apex. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma is dank and piney. Flavour is also dank with notes of dry grass and woody pine. Fantastic, clean and dry IPA.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a medium tan head. Aroma is full of dark roasted malt, soft espresso, dry cocoa powder and a health dose of hoppy bitterness. Flavour is bold, with deep roasted malt, woody hops galore, and some dry espresso to balance it out. Super smooth palate, with absolutely expert balance between the roast and woody hops. Absolutely wonderful take on a classic style.

On tap at brewery. Pours opaque dirty orange, bubbles like a bog, residual sludge. What the everloving fuck. Aroma has tons of fruit and leafy stems. Just smells and tastes like a thick fruit smoothie, no hops or malt that would indicate a relationship to beer. This would be a great smoothie, but I cannot comprehend how this would qualify as a beer.
