Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Dank nose with lots of catpiss and dank citrus. Pithy citrus on the palate, juicy mouthfeel. Lingering citrus and pineapple. Very crushable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tenn SC on 13 Apr 2018 at 20:58 - Score: 7.

355ml can into pint glass. Nose of peanuts and caramel. Mahogany red beer with creamy white head. Some carbonation evident. Effervescent and sweet. Finish is like a Scorched Peanut Bar from my youth. Gimmicky but fun.

Pretty darn tasty smoothie IPA, offering up fruit-n-vanilla notes without any overbearing sweetness. Mango, berry, pine, melon, and earth all get wrapped in a friendly vanilla hug, while the back end mixes a clingy resin-tinged bitterness with lingering vanilla fade tinged with green onion and pepper. Pours a hazy mustard yellow with a brief off-white head and moderate lacing. Creamy texture could use a smidge more carbonation, but works nonetheless. Good beer.

Can, 0.355l. Deep ruby pour, huge frothy beige head, medium lasting. Good lacing. Quite an interesting nose here - combination of peanut butter (obviously) and ice cream cones. Slight cappuccino thingy going on in the background too. Thin body, medium at best. Soft carbonation, average mouthfeel and texture. Mild bittersweet taste. Aroma pretty much the same as the nose - ice cream cones, peanut butter, cappuccino and cocoa. Caramel. Cake. Pretty interesting combination. Unfortunately, aroma also follows the body - it's mostly weak and watery. Which is a shame really, otherwise it's pretty tasty. Like a liquid dessert of sorts. Overall, with more body and aroma this one would be awesome. As it stands now though, it's just a mediocre stout with a bit different aroma then usual. Worth a try at least.

Pretty good NEIPA, awash in lime and grapefruit and passion fruit, accentuated by melon and mango, with a earthy hop backbone and modest toasty malt graininess to eek out a bit of balance against the hops. Passion fruit and earth on the nose, while the pour comes out a ultra-hazed yellow-gold with a modest white head and decent lacing. Too slack, though; texture's weak and undercarbonated, which leads to a yeasty tart note hanging on the palate in the fade. Very drinkable, but nothing defining within the style.
