473 ml can. Pours a hazy orange/brown with light head. Aromas of nutmeg, allspice, pepper and doughy malts. Dry dusty and spicy flavors follow same with additional banana. A ton of spice coming across mostly as dry ground pepper. Can’t say it’s near a Belgian style…

473 ml can. 4.5% with best before date 12092024. Pours an opaque whitish amber with moderate head. Aromas of mangos, orange juice, dank hops and thick wheaty malts. Flavors of earthy mangos, dry pithy orange, oats, and think wheaty malts. Strong flavors for the ABV, but seems to be just an earthy Hazy.

Poured from the tap @ Shaketown. Hazy yellow gold with small white head. Citrus and pine hops, a bit muddled, some lemon and kviek like character in there, not sure if it actually uses kviek yeast though.

473 ml can. Pours an opaque/turbid dark pink with light head. Aromas of earthy berries and wet wheat. Flavors of chalky fruit and wheat. A little tartness on the finish. Hard to determine exactly what fruit. And it’s really ugly.

Murky dull amber, not very attractive. Smells more muddled than anything else. Medium bitterness, somewhat toasty/smokey fermentation off-note. Not necessarily a bad one but doesn't fit with the beer.
