21/XII/22 - 1Pt. can from a trade, shared @ home, BB: n/a, canned: V/23/22 (2022-1761) Thanks to Aaron for the trade!
Very cloudy pale yellowish beer, big fluffy to aery irregular white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: all fake vanilla, tic tac mints, sickening sweet impression, pretty bad smell, don’t like it. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: all fake vanilla, very chemical, very bitter, weird, one big hot mess, don’t like it. Aftertaste: bit sweet, chemical, fake vanilla, some oranges, very bad, what the hell is this stuff?

On tap at the Thirsty Moose Taphouse Merrimack. Pours a murky light purple smoothie kind of thing with a thin off white head that has great retention. Very fruity with only hints of sour underneath. Hard to call this beer, but dam it was tasty.

Thick, black and oily with a medium sized incredibly dark brown head that faded quickly but left good lacing. Doughy with cocoa, coconut, vanilla and cake. Very long finish. Thick, creamy and slick body.

16 oz. can in a trade with Tom. Aroma is weak peach and yeasty. Flavor falls really flat. Very light malt backbone with extremely light peach. Mild citrus rind finish. Bitterness is astringent and not from hops. Even with Spyglass helping this brewery out, it still falls flat.

Can pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque milky light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle and finger-width white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus and peach with background yeast and malt. Taste is stronger sweet and tart stone fruit with some astringency. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, peach isn't super identifiable, odd tart element and thin. Not a winner.

Can pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque dark yellow with nice sparkle, 3-finger width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong, bright citrus. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste with yeasty, dry, mild lingering bitterness. Overall, its nice, strong Citra but nothing else. Too carbonated.
