Pours a hazy, light banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is dank, with some green onion upfront, followed by citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with more pronounced dankness (almost a cannabis-level flavor). Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Very mild hop bitterness in the finish.

Canned 5/13/24, drunk 6/26/24. Deep ruby-amber highlights with mahogany throughout. Clear. Small, beige head, quickly to cover. Lots of specialty malt. Heavy toast, some char and salt. Maybe a bit dominated by it. But no alcohol or anything really problematic. Chocolatey. Chocolate and toffee. Toasted brown bread and good acidity on the finish. Light black licorice, black pepper. Good malt depth and it dries out just enough on the end. Lingering fruit, toffee and heavy toast. No booze.

Canned 5/13/24, drunk 6/25/24. Moderately hazy, not hugely so. White head to cover. Brass-golden. Sweat, mineral, tropical fruit, lemongrass and white wine. Ample malts. No resin, booze. Malty, with ample balancing bitterness. Fresh papaya, lychee, but if pine and lemongrass with dense but amply attenuated, honey-like malt. Intense but vibrant flavors and some funk and mineral, to boot. Not boozey or resinous/aspirinated.

Canned 5/13/24, drunk 6/18/24. Hint of haze. Light blonde-brass. Small, white head, quickly to partial cover. Lots of pineapple, sweat, lemongrass and other various spice. Extremely unripe stone fruit skin. Cracker malts and clean yeast with no alcohol or resin. Bright and spicy with a solid maltiness (honey, light sourdough and biscuit) and good attenuation. Lemongrass, citrus, ample but not overdone bitterness and lingering stone fruit and very light tropical fruits. It's not very West Coast save the additional bitterness. But that extra bitterness really makes the beer.

Canned 5/13/24, drunk 6/17/24. Lightly to moderately hazy. Peachy-tangerine. Spotty, white head. Fruity clementine, dainty pineapple, some mineral and soft tropical fruits. Biscuit, peach, apricot, clementine. Hint of mineral and good maltiness and attenuation. But a bit of a short finish, maybe a bit too much acid.

Brewery draught, 6/15/24. Unfiltered lime-bronze. Big, snow white head. Good retention. Brilliant yeast signature, very authentic. Paper, apple, hint of honey. Clean and malty, snappy. Light herbs. Malty, snappy. Exquisitely clean and authentic. Damn. Dries out really nicely on the finish. Lime, apple, honey, cracker lingering.

500mL at the brewery, 6/15/24. Unfiltered brass-golden. Snow white, creamy head. Clean mineral and light, dainty honey. Bright herbal hops in a low, tasteful amount. Malty, with rich honey and sweet biscuit. Rather bready with low hopping. I respect that it lends in to the yeast, water, malt and doesn't use the hop as a crutch. Round, pleasingly bready mouthfeel. Ample malt and attenuation. Very clean. Authentic yeast character.
