2,800th rating! Pours a hazy gold from a tap. Definite citrus aroma, flavor is surprisingly gooseberry-y, which is a fruit I haven't had in quite some time. Good beer.

Pours a clear dark gold from a tap, nice thick cream colored lacing. Malty and kind of a pale lager aroma, similar flavor. Good beer, light.

Pours a clear gold from a tap, thick white head. Grassy aroma is shrouded by nondescript pale malts, similar flavor. Could have been better. Good beer.

Pours a hazy white grapefruit juice color from a crowler. Nice tropical fruit and grape aroma is attenuated in the mouth, slightly watery. Pretty good beer.

Shared a pint with my wife, then girlfriend at Bright Ideas, March 2019. Obviously dark, creamy pint glass. Smells of burnt sugar & rich coffee beans. Taste is creamy, acidic, dark roast coffee & just a faint amount of maple, if any. Coffee could be rounder, as it's a little ashy & harsh. End thin out & continues to be very acidic to the finish. Okay.

On tap at Bright Ideas, March 2019. Stemless wine glass. Cranberry color, lacy. Mild cranberry & citrus hop scent, on the sugary side maybe? Bright IPA, slick cranberry that doesn't overwhelm. Bite-y hops, juicy, too sweet cranberry to temper it. Okay.

On tap at Bright Ideas, March 2019. 5.7% Cloudy, frothy, banana-esque colored pint. Smells of soft citrus hops & dry grain. IPA-like citrus pith bitterness that I wasn't expecting. Thin. Ends with a continued bitterness. Okay.

On tap at the source with my wife, then girlfriend, March 2019. Stemless wine glass. Deep mustard, opaque pour. No lace. Smells of melon & passion fruit. Tart, borderline sour, obvious but genuine passion fruit. Good amount of salt. Refreshing, cleansing after some good bbq. Could easily have another. Very tasty.
