Pint can pours with a clear gold colored body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up loads of citrus hoppiness with tangerine, clementine and some orange marmalade rimmed thinly by grapefruit. The taste bursts with tangy, juicy and crisp citrus hop flavor and hop bitterness with the same notes noted in the nose. Holy moly this is good. Balanced, snappy and a little chewy hoppy depth. Yes.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up the required spicy and herbal Saaz hop goodness as well as a faint sense of the malt base. The taste delivers a blend of the mildly sweet malt base that slowly flows into a light note of sweet bread. Riding well above the malt backbone are the yummy Saaz hop characters. I get nice spicy Saaz hop yum as well as a herbal green hoppy bite. The mild malts and forward hoppy bitterness are going so well together.

Pint can pours with a dark brown colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up roasty malts, a dash of dark roasted coffee, some nuttiness and then some chocolate malts. The taste delivers about the same with a pretty solid level of dark roasted malts with near burnt French roast coffee notes as well as thin nuttiness and a sense of chocolate malts. This is firmly roasty and I'm ok with that. A few more sips and murmurs of jammy fruity esters are there off in the background.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a nice near tight white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma pumps out spicy hops, grapefruit peel, a touch of lemon and some soft woody notes. The taste delivers that nice firm level of Hallertau and Tettnang herbal spicy hoppiness that makes me smile. The brews zwickelled were likely damn fine. The hop bitterness reaches up into a grapefruit lightly lemon peel realm toward the finish. Another solid offering.

Draft at ABV Public House. Clear golden pour, slowly fading white foamy head. Citrusy aroma, grapefruit, piney, earthy. Taste is hoppy, fruity, light citrusy notes with a mild bitterness. Refreshing, good accompaniment to the burger.

On tap at LHK Noodle Bar, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a pungent tangy hop character, with biscuity malt and some straw. Flavour is a bit muffled, with bitter tangy hops, straw, and bready malt. Nice bitter tanginess, but a rough malt backbone due to the rye that inhibits this a bit. Decent.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear golden colored body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangelo to apricot as well as malt liked pine hops. The taste delivers crisp snappy flavors of grapefruit, clementine, pine hop bitterness and then a touch of herbal grassiness. The body thins out a tad to midway with a persistent tasty hop bill making me smile.

Boosty stuff. Rich dark malts, toffee, stewed dark fruits. Raisins. A little vanilla. Bourbon. Delicious. Packs a punch but still pretty drinkable. Not cloying, good depth.
