Bottle at home in CT. Pours perfectly clear amber-gold with a creamy, mostly white head. Simple sugary malt aroma, light toasty bread notes, some honey and caramel. Medium sweet flavor, rich toasty sugars, ripened fruits, dates and raisins, toffee, sweet bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with robust sugars, lightly syrupy, more sweet bread and dried fruits, hefty caramel, light grapes, just suggestions of leafy bitterness. Not bad overall. The character is mostly just sugary malts, but there is some depth and nuance to the malts that keep the beer interesting.

Bottle at home in Salisbury. Pours clear gold, lightly effervescent with a thick, creamy white head. It’s an attractive beer. Some dusty, pale malts in the aroma, hints of pine. Light to medium sweet flavor with sugary malts, some caramel, mellow grassy and herbal bitterness. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, some light pine resins, bready malts that are a bit drier than before, some further grass and herbs. Pretty clean aftertaste, with just a hint of metallic twang. It’s a decent beer overall. Easy to drink.

Bottle: Poured an amber with a whisper one finger head that dissipates fast. Aroma is veggie and malts. Taste is smoke up front and a nice wheat and grain finish.

Bottle. Deep dark mahogany with a ridiculously ginormous tan head. Earthy roasty malt aroma. Unpleasant petroleum-rubber-road-tar roasted malt flavor. Medium body, moderate carbonation. I’m not sure if we have a bottling issue here, or if I simply disliked the flavor.

On tap at the Cajun Cabin. Pours pale gold with a medium, off-white head. The aroma is lemons, hay, mozzarella, and vanilla. The flavor is citrus sweetness and a little bitterness. The aftertaste is mildly bitter and fades quickly. The palate is light to medium, effervescent, and crisp, but a little astringent. This is a light and funky pale ale, but nothing special.

On tap. Amber with a slight haze and loose head. Lightly herbal aroma and mellow caramel notes. Earthy but a little bit of phenol as well. Might be a little bit old.

12oz bottle. Filtered looking orange-tan. Small, foamy head. Odd aroma, some sour that makes me suspect infection. Yep. Wow, they can’t make a good beer in LA. Really unimpressive, and frankly a straight up rip off for the price. Lemon lime disgustingness, earthy. Fuck you Bayou Teche! and you too Lazy Magnolia!! GRRRRRR!!!!

12oz bottle. Yellow-orange with an oily residue of a head. Light bodied, pretty insipid beer. The passion fruit doesn’t really come through that overbearingly. Drinkable and refreshing, has some nice mellow tropical tones that grow on you, as well as some vanilla wheat. Overall pretty unimpressive, but certainly sessionable and not off.
