Bottle thanks to Sean, unfortunately list in my rot box for a while. Gusher. Pours hazy red amber, medium tan head, nice lacing. Aroma is caramel pine. Flavor is about the same, light sweet, medium bitter with a sharp bite. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Not bad now, probably pretty good three months ago. Mea culpa

Bottle courtesy of BMMillsy. Sweet citrusy cranberry and ginger aroma - floral honey developed more as it warmed, and a slight hint of vanilla. Hazy yellow with a moderate white head. Sweet tart citrus, fruity cranberry, dry ginger, and light honey wheat malt flavor. As it warmed floral white grape became apparent in the flavor. Medium body, soft carbonation. I really liked this approach to a holiday seasonal, as opposed to some of the heavily spiced options.

Bottle courtesy of BMMillsy. Thanks dude! Sweet pineapple, orange, yeast, and light vanilla aroma. Honey gold with a small white head. Spicy Belgian yeast, sweet fruity orange, and creamy wheat malt. Medium creamy body, soft carbonation. This one had a lot of wheat character, reminding me of a slightly funky Belgian wit. Very enjoyable, easy to drink.

Pours hazy amber color with off white head. Aromas of pine, tropical fruits and some caramel. Similar flavors, but more malty and less hoppy than I prefer. Medium body with average carbonation.

750 courtesy of BMMillsy. It pours with a clear deep copper body that has gold edges and supports a tan head of foam. The aroma has citrus, lemon grass, a light earthy tea note and faint malts to biscuit like maltiness. The taste is pretty nice with smooth malt sweetened citrus hop notes and a modest degree of earthy tea in the background. These notes come together nicely and provide a pleasing experience. Enjoyable IPA.

750 courtesy of BMMillsy. It pours with a murky amber body that has gold edges and supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up modest levels of pine and slivers of apple and pear fruity sweetness as well as a touch of biscuit like maltiness. The taste is pretty pine like up front and it gets to resiny hop bitterness in parts. There’s also an odd mix of lager like yeasty sweet fruit esters such as apples and faint pear notes with sweet malts and slivers of roasted malts off in the background. Interesting.
