32oz growler pours with a near clear copper body that has gold edges and supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up a little mango, guava and faint strawberry as well as thin malts and caramel malts. The taste delivers bitter fruity hops edged with strawberry. To midway the hops pick up a light grassy to pine like hop bitterness, a cucumber note as well as a mild caramel note surfaces into the finish. The caramel has a diacetyl sensation at times but this might just be the malts. Decent IPA.

32oz crowler pours with a less than opaque hazy dull copper to gold body that supports a full dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up mango and then a spicy hopped cantaloupe blend that leads into honeydew. The taste starts smooth and fairly sweet with cantaloupe, mango and then mild yet growing spicy hop bitterness. To midway a thin pleasing oat to cracker maltiness comes to the surface to help the mild bitter hoppiness fight off the sweet soft tropical fruit juiciness that’s going on here. Pretty solid offering.

32oz crowler pours with a somewhat hazed gold body that supports a thin bright white head of foam. The aroma offers up cantaloupe, mango, clementine and then honey drizzled honeydew. The taste delivers mango, sweetened tangerine and cantaloupe sweet juiciness. It then picks up a mild level of spicy to grassy hops that create a modest level of hop bitterness. Into the finish it picks up a thin cracker like maltiness as the juicy notes taper off. This is plenty juicy and it even feels s little overly sweet and juicy.

32oz crowler pours with a murky dull copper colored body that has thin golden hued edges and supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma is largely hoppy with spicy and herbal and then notes of strawberry and citrus. The taste delivers a kick in teeth by bludgeoning you with strawberry soda and then a layer of chocolate. Behind those notes are spicy and herbal hops as well as thin juicy mango and tangelo hop flavor. Into the finish a mild cracker like maltiness bubbles to the surface. Pretty fun beer that seems like it won’t work but it does. .

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
32oz crowler pours with a murky somewhat hazed gold body that supports a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up tart citrus, warm pink grapefruit and then a pervasive peachiness that runs from front to back. The taste starts with a decent level of tartness and then transitioning into a nice peach cream cycle sensation. This is 4% and the limited depth and thin mouth confirms this. But for a refreshing light cool brew this one does the trick.

32oz crowler pours with a clear mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up thin spicy black strap molasses, caramel malts and a dash of brown sugar infused yeastiness. The taste delivers smooth spicy black licorice and caramel malts. It then gets a little brown sugar meets prunes and lagery yeast like. Pretty nice amber lager.

32oz crowler pours with a hazed copper body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma starts off with strawberry and mint and some herbally notes I’m not sure I can put words to. As it warms that note morphs into firm coconut. Dang, as it warms further it’s back to mint and strawberry. The taste delivers a rich blend of coconut, strawberry and mint. Wow. This is a different take and mix of hops and flavors. There’s a more than an adequate sweet malt base that surfaces as the floral hops take over toward the finish. Interesting take here with the coconut, strawberry and mint.

Batch 1. 32oz crowler pours with a murky muddy dark red body that supports a thin white and thinly hued pink head. The aroma offers up hibiscus infused berry notes as well as funk infused mango coming from the passion fruit. The taste delivers smooth soft notes ushering in berry tanginess mixed with a mild soft oat maltiness. To midway mango meets pineapple and funky passion fruit. This is a solid tangy tropical and somewhat berry like brew. I’ll need more as the family digs it too.

32oz crowler pours with a somewhat hazy deep gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting notes of tangelo, cantaloupe, mango, peach and a dash of pink grapefruit. The taste delivers some juicy clementine, tangelo and pineapple before a modest level of spicy and citrus hop bitterness join in. To midway the flaked oat like sensation murmurs to the surface and then gives way to a mild cracker maltiness and some earthy mint hops. I can easily swill down more of this.
