Can (11/6/25) from The City, Seabrook. Hazy bright yellow, tons of sparkle, nice head with excellent retention and nice, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong melon and grape Smartie/Pez. Taste follows aroma with caramel malt. Smooth, frothy, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not hugely complex but good strength. Certainly sweet.

16 oz can, thank you tfontana for trade. A near clear brown color. Aroma is a ton of maple and soft coffee. Flavor is not short in maple. Coffee bean helps for some balance. A hint of walnut. Mild bitterness.

12 oz bottle, thank you tfontana for trade. Aroma is bread-like malt and soft, honeysuckle, passionfruit. Flavor is quite good at following the nose. The bodies medium plus with a very soft citrus pith finish. Very juicy in character. I don’t know how old the can is but doesn’t matter. It is delicious.

Can shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Hazy, pale pinkish-purple, ring of head. Aroma is strong tart fruit and blueberry. Taste is mainly blueberry, not overly sweet, with mildly tart back half. Smooth, somewhat watery texture, average carbonation (drinks a lot like a soda), finish as taste. A nice thirst quencher. Kind of like on a hot summer day when your throat is dry and the acidity of a Coca Cola clears things out.

16 oz can. Shows a Violet color. Aroma has A bold amount of blueberry with some soft minerals. Flavor is a mixture of blueberry and mild floral bouquet. Very different flavor profile! Slightly tart and not sour. Good.

Can from Liquor Junction, Reading. Deeply hazy gold, tons of sparkle, thin fizzy head after aggressive pour, good retention, copious soapy lacing. Aroma is more chai than winter spice--but they are almost interchangeable--over mellow background ale. Taste resembles aroma but allspice more prevalent than cinnamon/vanilla. Smooth texture, average carbonation, dry finish as taste. Not as complex as the chais I like. Too much allspice/winter warmer here. Decent but don't love it.

16 oz can. Aqua blue in color. Aroma shows me guava fruit and soft lime peel. Flavor follows with a soft lime finish. Moderate lime character with a very faint hint of acid. This actually would go well with rich cheeses or fatty meat dinners.

Can from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Opaque dark yellow with nice sparkle, ample head with excellent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is mix of berry, grape and apricot over hint of herb. Taste follows aroma, sans herb and with bready malt. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied with soft carbonation and finish as taste. Slightest of pleasant alcohol warmth in the esophagus well after the sip. This hop combination produces something pretty unique (addition of Alora?). Virtually no sign of alcohol and no aversive sign. Really nice.
