Amber color with a tan head. Flavor combination of sweet vanilla and spice, almost like Indian food that’s sweet.

Can from Boise Coop. Light golden, light haze, luscious creamy head. Aroma and taste are back on track for a golden, light grains with a small hoppy bite. Some citrus notes. Crushable.

Bomber from Cap Tap. Pours dark brown with a creamy/foamy beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, dark malt, notes of bourbon and vanilla. Med body - maybe plus a bit. Not a lot of carbonation to help with that. Slight burn - arguably heat. Flavor is darkish malt, darkish fruit, hint of bourbon, and something making me think of Angostura Bitters. It is bitter in a moderate way, but I don't think it's hop. It's also somewhat sweet. I'm beginning to think the brewer was trying to imitate an Old Fashioned cocktail. That's been done before, but if that's the point here, I think it is nicely done. At least this tastes pretty good.

12 oz can poured. A mostly clean reddish orange pour with a loose foam head. Sharp berry font on the flavor. Moderate tart. A real raspberry flavor opposed to the expected sweetened hammy taste. A mild salted background lingering late. Not a whole lot of floral touch here, though it could be buried. Raspberry is pretty dominant. Pretty good overall.

12 oz can poured. I always enjoy the cans that pop up from these guys. A brewery I really hope to visit someday. Barely a haze to this pale golden pour. Rocky foam head, tons of sticky lacing. Smooth, refreshing IPA. Citrus and melon forward hops, balanced well with the grain. Quite a juicy splash up front with this one. Really tasty. Disc golf would work too, but I want this on the full golf course.

Can. Golden pour. Aroma of melon, mild tart and wheat. Taste has salty wheat, tart, melon, some barf and mild acid. Bit weird, melon is difficult.

Can. A- Straw, mild raspberry. A- Golden pink color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Rotten berries, mildly floral, straw, salty, tart. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Really disappointing. Raspberry is minimal and comes across as rotten stale berries. Salty and tart as expected. Okay really.

Sampled on draft at Hugo's this beer poured a caramel-tan color with a medium sized foamy beige head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was chai spice and nothing else. The flavor was chai spice and bread crust. Long finish. Medium body.
