Aromas are a mix of caramel malt, citrus and resin hops. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, good balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation with some weed added in. Very drinkable beer but not great.

Aromas are dry grain with a little spicy, floral hops. Flavors are similar to nose, with great balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Good body and finish follows flavors. Refreshing and satisfying. Nice beer.

Sampled from the tap at Forward Craft & Coffee. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light pine, some rind and a grass note coming through. Flavor has grass and slightly earthy pine with a bit of grain underlying.

17 September 2022. At Tapster Wicker, Chicago. Shared with the lovely Anke!

Hazy black, stable, frothy, beige head. Aroma of toast, cashew, tobacco, earth, mushroom. Taste has sweetish toast, ‘pure’ roasted malt and cashew with an earthy-umami accent. Earthy, herbal hoppy finish, gentle tobacco note. Medium body, slick-watery texture, soft carbonation. Not bad but underwhelming.
