Pour is a wit beer hazy gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is passion fruit juice more than anything else. Flavor is again more passion fruit. I'm sure there is mango in here but the passion fruit overpowers, not that that is a bad thing. Finish is tart citrus and a chewy wheat malt. Good for a single pick up, this has a nice fruity flavor.

Bottle from Off Color from a friend. Thanks Adam! Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Funky, tropical brett aromas on the nose with oak and various tropical fruits. Tart on the palate with notes of lime, passionfruit, citrus and cherry. Kumquats really shine as it warms. Dry on the palate with a nice oak note with more of the same lingering fruit and citrus flavors. Really good.

Can at home watching new show I like. Orange amber pour and small head. Nose is some caramel and fruits. Tastes of dates, orange, plum, caramel, some medicine. Lighter bodied for style. Not a ton flavor and alcohol presence is muted.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is a slight grapefruit hop with some bready malt. Flavor is a lightly sweetened caramel malt with some chewy bread note and a minor bitterness at the end. Pretty good typical American pale ale.

Pint can - black pour with no head - apparent coffee bean oil floating on top - coffee is the one adjunct that stands out, but gratefully it isn’t abrasive or overly acidic - medium sweet - a little chocolate - the other adjuncts are indistinct and hard to detect - coffee and cocoa finish - okay.

Can - lightly hazy medium amber - fairly rich and earthy British maltiness, though not terribly complex - just moderately sweet, lightly bitter - a bit thin-flavored and indistinct for the style - kind of watery finish - light alcohol warmth - bland finish - meh.

Pour is a clear blonde which is a bit surprising for a Vienna. Aroma is grain malt and not much else. Flavor is bready malt with a very very faint maple syrup left on the tongue after the swallow. This was just ok. More of a pale lager with the most minor amounts of maple syrup added.

Always enjoy a new Czech dark lager style and getting my IL rates close to 100 double bonus. Fairly dark blackish brown pour and pretty beige head. Nos caramel and roast. Tatses of ash, caramel, dark bread, dark chocolate, some earthy tones. Rich mouthfeel.
