Pour is a chill haze blonde with an extra large white head. Aroma is definite fruitiness. It's been a hot minute since I've had a kiwi but I'm guessing that is the fruit I am smelling. Flavor is fruity with dry chalky malt. With 4 different hops I was thinking they would make a bigger appearance but they are just kind of there. Decent fruity lager. My mom would probably like this.

Tap at Off Color. Rather unique, a soft body, big funky farmhouse golden ale. Flowery, dry, a little of that fecal barnyard undertone. Peach tea. Unique.

Tap at Off Color. Rather excellent stuff. Big sour lemon, orange, grape. Bright and biting. Great mouthfeel. Funky farmhouse undertones. Good.

Florals, a little lemonbalm. Pours slightly hazy golden with some soap bubbles. Finishes with light bitterness, light sweetness. Snally.

16oz can c/o Ryan. Rather unique, well executed for a tea lager. Flowery, citrus touches. My first exposure to Osmanthus, which is quite unique, would love to add it to kombucha. Cool beer, fun to try, but not one I'd really revisit often.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a clear deep ruby orange color with a small white head. Aroma was lime, mandarin, funky citrus. Flavor was citrus, woody notes, funk. Really strange, but tasty.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was herbal hops, lemon citrus. I got some funk in this one, with tobacco and some light funky yeast character.

Can, from Broadway Dive Bar, Manhattan NYC (Jul 2025). Pours cloudy reddish dark amber with a very small frothy beige head, sweet caramel-dried fruits aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish dried fruits-caramel taste, smooth body, long finish. Well balanced despite the ABV.

16oz can into a Tripel Karmeliet glass. Nice flavor, mouthfeel. Sort of odd aroma, a little boozy, flowery. Almost has a honey note to me. A little off center for the style, but enjoyable for what it is.
