32oz crowler pours with a slightly hazy copper gold body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up soft cantaloupe, some citrus and then notes of Brett, oak and a thin vanilla sensation. Interesting. The taste delivers floral hops, cantaloupe and then a blend of Brett, oak and a smidgen of vanilla. This creates a curious blend of flavors. It's a little odd but it works.

32oz crowler pours with a deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up molasses, prunes, brown sugar, tangy brandy, some hot brandy booze and then chocolate. The taste delivers smooth sweet molasses infused brandy with thin booze and chocolate notes at the periphery of the experience. To midway a mild earthy malt wet tobacco note bubbles to the surface as well. Solid sipper.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque dull dirty copper colored body that supports a nice near white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up peach, a flash of berry, a bit of grassiness and malt infused cantaloupe. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of mango and cantaloupe soft juiciness, more bitter citrus to berry notes and then a thin layer of more resiny hop notes of grass and a faint pine hop sensation. All in all a pretty tasty balance is achieved.

32oz crowler pours with an opaque dull gold to straw colored body that supports a nice bright white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up a bit of hay, oat and cracker followed by larger notes of guava, mango, cantaloupe and grapefruit. The taste delivers oat infused bitter grapefruit flowing quickly into thin juicy mango and guava. It gets into some juicy clementine and more oat toward the finish. That oat note is working well with the tropical and citrus fruitiness. Solid.

32oz crowler pours with a murky dull gold brackish brown body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up apricot, cantaloupe rind, strawberry and tangy warm grapefruit. The taste delivers sweet juicy cantaloupe, thin apricot and then melon rind and a tangy modestly sharp bitter tartness. This pseudo grapefruit tartness manages to disrupt the flavor somewhat.

32oz crowler pours with near clear deep gold body that has thin copper hues and supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up a decent pulse of berry like fruitiness as well as a thin yeast note in the background. The taste delivers berry fruitiness, tart berry, a mild cotton yeasty coating across the palate and then lingering semi bright berry fruitiness. The fruit notes blended with whatever yeast this is creates a sacrin sugar contrived fruitiness. May not finish this 32oz crowler.

Poured up on tap at 8 Bit where it exhibits a near clear copper body that supports a thin light tan head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up crystal malts, a wafer thin roasted malt note and then spicy black licorice like hops. The taste delivers smooth yet intense hoppiness that runs deep to the earth's core. I get malt blunted thick wide pine hops all over the place. To midway it picks up a dash of sweet breadiness, a biscuit to crystal malt note and then some grassy to minty hops. There's a lot going on here but it is well integrated but borderline intense with hardly a notice of the huge abv.
