Pours a hazy, pineapple-lemon, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor has an astringent note, leading into citrus and tropical flavors, along with some breadiness. Light hop bitterness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel. Not bad.

16 oz. can. Maybe it wasn’t fair having this right after a Trillium brew. Flavor of candied pineapple, orange, and soft pine in the finish. Everything just seems muted. Been awhile since I tried this brewery. Will be awhile longer before I try again.

Can from the Packie Hazy lemon yellow in color with a thin bubbly white head that quickly recedes. Citrus in the form of orange and grapefruit with a fair bit of bready sweetness. Light earth pine and grass. IMHO could be a hint drier.

16 oz. can. When I held the light it almost looks red with a brown center. Aroma is roasted nuts, weak chocolate hints. Flavor has weak chocolate, subtle roast, mildly sweet finish. Lighter body. Even when warm I really can’t find hazelnut. Just ok.

16 oz. can. Aroma is brown sugar, maple, coffee. The flavor is nice upfront with chocolate, coffee, nuts. Then in the finish the maple is sugary and cloying. Nothing here to balance the stout. Meh.

16 oz. can. A black appearance, fast dying head. Aroma is chocolate and slight earthy malts. Flavor shows the earthy malt followed by chocolate with maybe notes of raisins. Body is a little thin but the malt depth is OK. Drinkable for sure.

Aroma shows mild tropical fruit and very slight grapefruit. Soft malt backbone is just enough to balance the grapefruit in tropical hop notes. Soft mouthfeel with A juicy texture. Today I had my best two samples from this brewery. Still going to stay away from the “sour IPA” monstrosities.
