32oz crowler pours with a clear gold body that has an interesting light brownish faintly green hue and supporting a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up an inviting blend of citrus, spicy earthy mildly danky hoppiness flowing into a sense of cantaloupe toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers pleasing levels of spicy danky hop bitterness growing into thin bitter floral, herbal and some grapefruit like hop bitterness. It remains moderately bitter right into the finish even as thin streams of sweet cantaloupe and tangelo come to the surface. Solid IPA. Must be taken internally.

32oz crowler pours with a nearly opaque straw gold body that supports a near white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The modest aroma offers up cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberry and then a herbal grassy note. The taste delivers a juicy tangelo, clementine and pineapple cut by a blend of cracker like maltiness and strawberry. To midway an earthy grassy sort of modestly bitter hop sensation bubbles to the surface. Pretty nice.

32oz crowler pours with a deep dark mahogany body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up dark roasted coffee, earthy coffee and then a bit of chocolate and dark roasted malts. The taste delivers smooth rich oily coffee, dark roasted coffee and then a fun earthy roasted coffee goodness. To midway bits of chocolate and dark roasted malts come to the surface. Solid.

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. .

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.
