Draft pour at The Partisan DC. Poured a hazy reddish color with a small, wispy off-white head. Aroma was lots of nice raspberries. Light sweetness, not too tart. Very nice fruit juice character here.

Can shared at Andrew's b-day bash. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of pillowy foam that settles nicely. Big tropical fruit aromas with mango and citrus standing out. Juicy mouthfeel with some orange zest and mango skin. A bit of passion fruit and pineapple as it warms. Some honey nectar-like sweetness as well.

Can shared at Andrew's b-day bash. Thanks Aaron! Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that dissipates quickly. Tons of maple syrup in the nose with chocolate and light coffee notes. More maple syrup and chocolate pancakes on the palate, with more of a light coffee or cacao nib edge as it warms. ABV is insanely well-hidden. Drinks dangerously smooth with a lingering maple note that lingers on the finish. Only complaint would be the body is a tad thin, but the flavors are there.

Can shared at Andrew's B-day bash. Thanks for sharing Aaron! Pours a hazy gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Huge orange zest aromas with tropical pineapple, peach and dank notes. Smooth and creamy on the palate with some medium to low bitterness on the finish. Pillowy mouthfeel. Excellent!

Draft pour at the Aslin 3rd Anniversary party. Shared by genDV138, thanks Donnie! Poured a dark, smooth malty roast note. Huge blast of maple, like straight up maple pancakes. Flavor was about the same, light roasted chocolate, maple syrup, dark chocolate. Super solid. 13% is a huge beer, but this was able to mask the ABV by quite a bit.

On tap at Charles Towne Fermentory, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out cocoa, a little lactose and earthy spelt. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted grains, lactose, and dry cocoa powder. Dry and creamy - well-constructed overall. Very good.

On tap at Charles Towne Fermentory, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma smells dry-hopped to hell, with light white wine, lots of dank hops and some saison yeast. Flavour is vibrant and complex, with a great balance of dry dank hops, saison yeast and light grape must. Really cohesive and complex. This is a great American take on the style. Excellent.
