12oz can. Sort of the classic low ABV Stout that is missing in the current beer world, so kudos to Ale Asylum for helping fill that void. The label is another amateurish drawing of a gothic type young woman with a cup of coffee...but I don't think this is a coffee stout. hmm. Not much hop balance at all, just a smooth, bready Stout. Good, but not great. As with most AA releases over the last few years, it comes across a little messy, with limited finesse, something thrown together quickly and then cranked out, a lazy idea not all the way dialed in.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Hazy, dark golden pour, thin foamy , fades to skin. Light citrusy aroma. Taste starts with slight caramel Malts, then slathering on some soft bitter hops, spotty citrus notes. Dry finish.

Can thanks to Drake. I have no theme tonight other that, Ok, that looks good, as long as it's not from NY. Hazy brown with a soft beige head. Caramel, toffee, brown leaf, light dark fruit nose. MMM... caramel, toffee, black cherry, vanilla, light chocolate. Tasty!

Can thanks to Drake! Murky orange with a large off-white head. Rose petals, orange peel... very floral nose. Flavor is orange, rose petals, pine, tropical fruit. Again, very floral, very rose. I like rose.

Can thanks to Drake. Another for RBG. Hazy to murky gold with a small offwhite head. Nose is candied orange creamsicle, perfumey. Flavor is tart citrus, completely opposite of the nose. There are buried perfumey notes underneath, but damn, this is not good. Oooh, what were they thinking? Sorry RBG, you didn't deserve this one.

Can thanks to Drake. And I agree. Hazy pale gold with a small white head. Nose is bread crust, dough, corn, light grasses. Flavor is thin, but inoffensive: light break, light grasses, light corn. Nothing to this.

2 week old pint can A: Poured practically flat with almost no head which fell immediately. Dull orange gold body is mildly cloudy. S: Muted scent of tart citrus and faint caramel. T: A sharply bitter grapefruit note hits and lingers into a sour mineral or vegetal flavor. Indescribable chemical-ness otherwise. M: Weak carbonation and medium body. Unpleasant finish. O: Not particularly good in any aspect. A complete waste.

Can thanks to Tyler! Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has straw and bread with a hint of popcorn underlying. Flavor is mainly straw with some bread and a touch of popcorn in the finish.
