Dark brown, thin head. Ok, on the nose it's a bit vegetal, bell pepper. Light maple, decent sugars, and a bit of dark malt. On the palate, it has more of a burnt molasses note. Different from the aroma, the green pepper disappears.

Can. Color: Very hazy orange, white head. Aroma: Hoppy, tropical fruit. Taste: Hoppy, some blood orange, tropical fruit like papaya and passion fruit, sweetish honey hints. Very smooth malty base. Just over medium body, average carbonation. Over moderate sweet, light to moderate bitterness. +1 for using honey instead of that lactose sh!t. Ok overall.

Opaque yellow/orange pour , with a huge white head. Tropical fruits abound. Massive stone fruit, with soft citrus notes. Creamy, full mouth feel, with a soft carb. Finish is medium to lightly bitter, no alcohol at all. impressive intro to the brewery for me.

Quite possibly the thickest, silliest pour I've ever seen. Black motor oil, with no head. Aroma is boozy chocolate cake mix, with hints of soy, and burnt coffee. Mouth feel is thick and oily, with a luscious mouthfeel ad silky carb. Medium to highly bitter with a mouth kicking soy/astringent cocoa powder and pine resin kick. The finish is a tad rough, with a raw, bitter soy sauce thing going on.. This is over the top, and goes downhill quickly. Could use a little refinement.

Cloudy orange pour with a huge white head. Stone fruit, burnt lemon rind, burnt rubber, peach, and grapefruit oil. Mouth feel is light, carb is the same. Low to medium bitterness, zesty, yet soft finish.
