4 oz sample at the source. Bright orange /yellow in color. Aroma is solid with white grape, mango, soft melon, and light white grape. Taste is perfectly balanced malt sweetness and very low hop bitterness. This experimental hop is a great element for this brand new brewery to showcase. This was a nice brew and Ths series should be great!

4 oz. sample at the source. I prefer the original Fairy nectar much more. As I drink this the aroma gives off a light sweat / body order character. The hops themselves gives off a mild fruit, mellow floral and sweet grain tones. It was hard for me to get over the sweaty aroma.

Draft at the brewery. The aroma is juicy citrus, mild pine, with notes of honeysuckle. The flavor is lightly juicy with some pine undertones. The bitterness is moderate and not abrasive. Overall, I can pick out the alcohol quite a bit in the finish. For the grain bill that is not much of a surprise.

two 4 oz. samples at the source. Appearance is hazed yellow gold with white head that hangs around a while. Light citrus and wild tropical hints on the aroma. Light peach, citrus, weak florals on the flavor.

Nice blance. Medium bodied and finished with a mild lingering bitterness. Flavor comes across really nice. Maybe a real reliable flagship brew.

Draft at the source, 4 oz. Amber color with Nitro pour. Major earthy coffee on the nose with nothing else showing. Flavor has the base mild ale (Toasted grain and Burnt toffee). The earthy coffee takes over the base beer.

I just don't think I like the combo here. Thin earthy coffee mouthfeel (even with a Nitro pour). Not my thing. Maybe a different bean will fare better.

Draft at the brewery. Clear in color gold with thin lasting head retention. Aroma is spot on the German recipe. Flavor mimics; Lager yeast, honey hints, grain with a very clean finish. Clean and refreshing for the style.
