16 oz can. Pours black with a light tan head. Roasty molasses and cocoa aroma. Flavor is also roasty and molasses, coffee, dark chocolate, touch of black liquorice. Has some of the lightness of a dry stout, but still some good flavor.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear yellow. Honey apple aroma. Flavor is sweet, but not overly so, honey, red/green apple, habanero influence is there but not distinct; more noticeable in the finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a totally hazed pale golden with a minimal white head. Juicy tropical fruit aromas of mango, pineapple. Flavor has pineapple, orange, mango, pine hops, the flavor is very juicy, I want to say even pulpy (flavor, not texture). Somewhat sweet.

Every Five V3 from Five Shores Brewing
5 years ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Murky, dirty, creamy yellow body, thin off-white head. Nose light, tart, with lemon and peppery notes. Creamy body, with tropical fruits (guava, lychee, banana) and citrus, but muted with essentially no sweetness. Quaffable; I'd prefer more flavor, but overall this was pretty good.

Translucent straw body, thin off-white head. Light grassy, citrusy nose. Body light, biscuity and grassy with hints of lemon. The whole was not the apparent sum of its parts.

Saldanha from Five Shores Brewing

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
16 oz can. Pours a clear amber with a slightly white head. Pine, spicy, citrus hop aroma. Flavor has spicy and piney hops, a touch of butterscotch, with a nice bitterness. Wouldn't have guessed this was made with sorghum. Works well.
