Tap at Cap Tap. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Fruity/spice aroma. Full bodied. Flavor is pale stone fruits, spice/yeast and light malt. Not dry, but not sweet. Heat is well hidden for me - tho there’s a burn that is likely that. I’m liking it very much.

Can for Corti Bros. Pours translucent ruddy/purple with an off-white head. Aroma has blueberry, but there's something else. Med body. Flavor is citrus, blueberry, something tangy, and light support from malt. Blueberry gets stronger with time. The mix even turns lightly tart. And a bit earthy in a berry way. With more time I'm thinking it's a lot better than I first thought.

Can. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Citrus, light malts, bit of pine. Definitely not a hop bomb, which isn't a negative in my book.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy white head that turned into froth. Aroma touches on grapefruit. Med body. Flavor seems to have a lot of grapefruit, to include the fibre flavor. Dry, yet somewhat juicy. Burning with citrus/grapefruit flavor. Actually seems burning on lower part of tongue. Certainly bitter. Nice.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma is mildly roasty malt. Not the same as in an APA tho. Near med body. Flavor is lightly roasty/bready. Not sweet, but not very dry. Mildly floral hop - I pick floral because there's something and I can't pin the hop on anything else. Ok for a Marzen.
