Draft at Snallygaster Beer Fest in Washington DC. Poured a really muddy, cloudy light brown color, with a small light-tan head. Aroma was sweet malts, some dark fruits in there as well. Flavor was sweet, dark fruits, malts. Pretty enjoyable.

Tried the base beer right from the fermenter while on a tour at the brew pub. Pours a hazy, bright gold with some very frothy white head. Nose has a big white grape character, yeasty, green apple, light lemon, a little candy sugar. Flavor has more of the tart but sweet white grape, some candied lemon peel, a little lime, some yeast, grass, light spice. Medium bodied, dry finish. I thought this would take very well to some barrel aging (Chard barrels?). I also had the opportunity to try a version hopped with Citra, a version hopped with Galaxy, and a version dry hopped with wet Citra hops. All three versions were nice, with the Galaxy version being my favorite.

Poured right from the fermenter on tour at the brewpub. Pours a hazy orange with some frothy white head. Big, spicy nose, nutmeg, ginger, clove, root veg. Flavor has a big zip from the ginger, almost a wasabi like zing to it, after that fades you get the sweetness, carrot, banana bread, some yeast. Medium bodied, zippy finish.

Sampled while on tour at the brewpub. Pours a murky, cola brown with one ring of white head. Nose is plenty of malt and sugar, vanilla, cola, woody, some banana, some light spice. Flavor is more malt, vanilla, heavier coconut, almost a toasted coconut flavor, molasses. Served a little too cold for my liking, but it may have helped with the alcohol burn. Full bodied, sticky, boozy finish.

Consumed from a growler a few hours after getting it filled up. Poured a nice clear golden color with a roughly medium-sized slightly off-white head. Aroma was tropical stonefruit notes, especially when the growler was first opened - the room filled with pleasant notes of tropical characteristics. Flavor was not as overwhelming in the citrus department, but had a nice hop character to it. Malts take a backseat to the hops here. Highly drinkable.
