I almost wanted to enter this as an Imperial Brown in the style listing instead of flavored, because the flavoring elements here are really really under-stated. If you didn't tell me, I'd just think it was a brown ale. Pours from the can a very hazy murky brown, modest tan head. Nose is light caramel, just a touch nutty. Flavor presents as fairly dry, with grainy and nutty flavors. For sure this is a perfectly fine strong brown ale. I don't know to be disappointed or not - I probably would complain about blackberry pie in beer form. But then I was kinda hoping to get something more than just a brown ale when picking this out.

Can, from Whole Foods. Pours hazy lemon yellow with a small foamy off-white head, faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango/spring onion flavor, citrus peel taste, thin body, long medium bitter unripe mango finish. Decent NEIPA.

Deep dark red and amber coloured body with a thick-ish, three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of soured, tart, bretty and especially spontaneously fermented notes with a lot of funk in the yeast with some malts here and a dash of light fruit noted, but probably not included in this one. Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie and very tart notes at first with a more oaky and cedar, woodsie notes that show pretty strong throughout with a kick of tart and noticeable fruits with even a noticeable sourness at the end - very nice and complex as well. Aftertaste shows some strong yeastie notes with a lot of tart, grassy and herbal notes with the woodsie qualities as well, with some fruits noticeable as well. Overall, this is much more 'robust' and deep with the woodsie and cedar, oaky notes than the Green bottle (sampled in conjunction), but this was deeper and provided a bit more malt and stronger characteristics. Nice to sample horizontally with the Green bottle, and while that one was 'better' to me, this was still nice to try! I sampled this 37,5 cL corked and caged bottle, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 19-December-2021 for US$9,99 (with a buy one get one, free!) sampled Horizontally with the Captain Lawrence Green Barrel Select beer on 30-October-2022 a few minutes after finishing the USMC Marathon with my wife - Congratulations to her.

Canned@Rex, Umeå. Orangeish golden colour with a small off-white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some mild lemongrass, nectar and mild malts to it. Flavour pretty much has the same elements in a very nice balance. Smooth and pleasant, with a high refreshing kick to it.

Draught@Bishops Arms Hornsgatan, Stockholm. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is zest, mango, some toffee and mild grassy notes. Flavour is very sweet floral and fruity hops along with some nectar, mango and mild toffeeish notes. Still has a nice earthy/grassy kind of lurking bitterness to it.

Bottled. Hazy goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized creamy longlasting white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, some mild alcohol, spices, yeast and mild funk with some wooden notes. Flavour is also having the same elements in a rather nice balance. Pleasant, and actually for once a rather true to the style old school triple. Yum!
