12 oz. can from Molly's Spirits in Lakeside, CO. Pours a hazy yellow color with a bright white head and great retention. Good lacing. Citrus and light hops aroma. The taste follows the nose, except the hops flavor is stronger and the citrus is lighter. A good summer beer. A little hoppier than I prefer, but good after a bike ride. Medium body. Medium-low carbonation. Soft bitterness.

can. Pours a slightly cloudy orange=amber color with a cream colored head that had good lacing. The aroma is mild with caramel, grains perhaps some mango. The taste is big on the caramel, with bitter resins, breads and mixed fruits. Bitterness is moderate. The palate is full and crisp. Finishes long with lingering caramel. Overall: Decent quaff. One of the better amber ales fer sure

750ml shared with Phill (thx, man, for the beer!) and the gang @ Matt's new place. Appearance: hazy copper with a white head. Aroma: a little bit acidity, lots of raspberries. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: pretty good for Crooked Stave in general and for the 2016 bottle in particular.

2016 vintage. 750mL bottle, pours a cloudy muddled dark reddish amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is complex and funky, with lots of wild yeast, tart but faded raspberries, and oak. Flavour has moderately acidic, tart raspberries, some wild bugs, and a touch of oak. A bit too acidic, but this has held up well. Good stuff.

16 oz. can. Pours a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is wet grass, orange blossom, sage, raw wheat, and lemongrass. Sweet and malty, with a resinous, citrusy bitterness. Light, crisp, sticky, and a touch acidic. Bright, grainy, and smooth. Quality.
