Enjoyed on tap at Gruff, first visit. I insisted on disagreeing with Berko on this beer. No way was this beer this infected. Its not as bad as he claimed, but there is a bit of a miscue here. Its oddly sweet. Rich with some sort of infection. Has a bunch of grapefruit notes up front. Odd sweetness follows. Harsh, and a bit unpleasant. A small bit of this is all I can really handle. Not the beer for me.

Draft pour, enjoyed at Gruff. First visit! A nice tart front, and it lingers throughout. Pear, white grape sour fruit. Wheat background. Smooth taste overall. Straw and wheat, is up front, but the white grape tart will linger forever. Good sour brew here.

Draft pour, enjoyed at Gruff. A mostly clean golden orange pour. Interesting IPA, full of citrus and orange fruit. A bit sharp with the bitterness. Lingering grain, orange peel hops. Pretty good.

Draft pour, enjoyed away Gruff. First visit! Mostly clean, bright golden pour. Patchy head, sticky lacing. Some cool melon, slight grain aroma. Taste is a bit floral, cool and sweet. Herbal too. Strange taste, but not bad. Lingering herbal hoppy finish. Not bad.

Second rating: July 5, 2025: On tap at Gruff, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has some tropical notes, citrusy hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has bitter citrus peel, pine, and some light allium. Well-hopped but not that well-balanced or structured in general. Decent. 6.3/10

Original rating: March 12, 2018: On tap at Gruff, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with diacetyl, with nothing much else detectable. Flavour is just nasty, with diacetyl, bitter unpleasantness and biscuity malt. Butter bomb - totally undrinkable. Awful. 3/10
