Growler thanks to JohnC. Pours a hazy golden body with a small white fizz. Aroma of guava, wheat, slight sourness, belgian yeast and soda water. Taste is wheat, grass, guava, a bit sour, funky and astringent. Light bubbles. As much as I like Guava, this beer didn’t work for me.

Bottle shared at Immy’s Backyard Throwdown. Didn’t catch whose this was, but thanks! Pours an amber color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is citrus hops, bitter resiny notes and light peppery wood notes. Taste is bitter, resiny hops but sadly I can’t find any notes from the wood. Medium bodied.

Dark amber to copper color, big creamy head. Aroma has light grapefruity hops with a good presence of cedar. Flavor is balanced with a crisp honeyed bready malt and citric hops, like the Jai Alai, but with the addition of that cedar tweak, which is subtle but actually seems to smooth out the beer with nuance. Finish is long and bitter, with a hint of woodiness.

Growler courtesy cmillward. Ruby tinted brown. Nose was full of coffee and chocolate, very nice. Light drinkable brown-ale palate like the regular maduro but with that tasty chocolate finish. Swell stuff.

Growler courtesy dchmela. Holy smokes what a floral nose! Big lavender and general floweriness, with a little spicy hop, sweet grass and dandelion wine thrown in. Somewhat honeyed malts. Floral and grassy herbaceous flavors. Nice big bitter finish, a touch peppery.

Draft at Redlight. Very cloudy orangey-yellow color, near opaque. Aroma was very fruity, citrus and peach, with a tart doughy element. Flavor is peachy, a little apple, with a nice fresh doughy yeastiness. Tangy and a little tart. Fun beer. For fun we mixed some with Ommegang Rouge and it rocked.
