From tap. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is grapefruity and slight peachy. Smooth fruity, peachy. Citrusy and grapefruity. Fruity, hoppy and light sweet impression. Bitter and crisp fruity finish.

16oz can. I liked it way better fresh, but here goes the current..Opaque black-brown body. Massive, suspiciously large beige head. Oily, roasty, mild latent infection perhaps. Really not that enjoyable or good. Unimpressive, overbearing, no finesse.

16 oz can at Pinsky's, 6/26/15. Dark brown pour with a small froth of beige head and mid-plus lace. The aroma is strongly roasted malts and coffee. The flavor is the same. Smooth and creamy. Finishes with a nice, roasty and slightly dry feel. Pretty good stuff for sure.

12 oz. can, $1.99 single at Binny’s. Pale indeed. Except for a bit of unfiltered cloudiness, it could pass for a Bud with a big foamy head. Smell has lots of citrus and apricot from the hops, though, so Bud it ain’t! Drinks like a light lager, which is welcome in this kind of weather, Just a little malt that has been beaten down by the hops. Not just citrusy, but intensely bitter, too. Despite that, its lightness makes it an enjoyable drink. A perfect gateway for any noob who wants to know the difference between "regular" and "hoppy" beer.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on a humid night which I believe is also the start to the summer. I like the can art on this one. I also like the beer. Appearance is a slightly clear gold with a thin and bubbly white head. Aroma of coriander, clove, and banana, smells carbonated. Taste is good, crisp finish but still has a pronounced yeast flavor, banana notes come out. Good stuff.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a cold April Monday night after work. Appearance is a moderately thick pitch black with a modest tan head. Aroma of chocolate and peanut butter, sweet, smells like a dessert. Taste also of chocolate and peanut butter, isn’t rich though, overall it’s just OK and I think I was expecting more. Other variants of this are great though.
