Draft at SAVOR. Poured a hazy orange color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was big tropical fruits, lemon, pineapple. Mild peach, with a bit of booze in this one.

Pine and grapefruit. Copper pour with decent head. Caramel. Decent initial smell but the finish kind of loses it. Florals and rooty type bitterness in the finish. Some booze. Bottle.

Can, Kroger. Orange with an inch of khaki head. Heavy mango in the nose - somewhat artificial, but still smells really nice. Flavor is mango, lime juice, grasses, green leaf., bread crust. Kinda enjoyable without being great.

12 ounce bottle thanks to maniac! 6/17/22. Dark brown, thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, brownies. They're going for intense chocolate, and and least in the aroma, they got it. Taste is cherry, roast, chocolate, chocolate brownies. A bit thin. Nice beer.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Gainesville VA, 6/17/22. A little too on the nose, as my father is currently on his death bed and in a vegetative state following a stroke, and I got this beer from Total Wine in Gainesville, VA, with the other TW being in Gainesville, Florida, the state where my father will likely die in the next 3-4 days in hospice. So impending doom indeed. How can I be ticking beers at a time like this? Well (a) I am not very close with my father and we've had a complicated relationship, and (b) self-medication. Murky orange, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of dank, grapefruit, tropical fruit. Taste is dank, melon, resin, grapefruit. Juicy, mild bitterness. Hint of booze, but well hidden. Nice beer.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Aroma full of caramel, pine and mango, a combination that somehow works. Taste is bitter with a mild hoppy spicyness at the finish. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation with a firm malty backbone. Good.
