Visiting Panther Island has been enjoyed a number of times. We went by last Black Friday in the afternoon and they were inexplicably not open. I did locate this 16 oz can of Hazy Cat (cool graphics) at the Hulen St. Total Wine as compensation. This evening is the opening of the can and the tasting. The beer gets the benefit of my Chimay glass, used prior and will continued to be used. I see a semi-opaque, light gold liquid with a nice cover of snow white foam. Whoa now, a good nose. A pleasant combination of juice, fruit, hops and grass. The taste is a bit off that. I get a firm hoppiness, melon, bread, oj and a distinct dryness. Not bad.

Jet brown with a decent light brown head. Woody, light roast peanuts and nutty. Roast peanuts and some chocolate.

We had a couple of nice visits to Panther Island while in Fort Worth while celebrating Thanksgiving. I bought a couple of beers to bring home and rate. Boreas was one of them. Curiously the beer was brewed before they had a label for the to-go can. No problem. For all the beers from Ft. Worth that I drink at home I use my Cowtown snifter, no departing from that strategy tonight. Tall boy can opened and pouring, I see a deep dark brown body with a mostly bare, light tan head. It has an interesting scent, a bit of chocolate and a good hit of berries. A nice representation of chocolate, wheat bread, strawberries and just a hint of ash. The effect is lighter than heavier. It all comes together. Good job.

A 12 oz. cup from the tap at the brewery. It is a dark, dark red-amber in color and has a persistent ring of tan bubbles. There's a strong malt entry taste along with burnt pecans and medicine. It has a more pronounced and aggressive taste than your usual amber. Good.
