Draught @ Durk's Bar & BBQ, Providence (June 2024). Cloudy lemon yellow with a small foamy off-white head, citrus peel-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel taste with faint unripe mango, a bit of alcohol bite, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Nice brew.

Can at home shared with Laura. Ugly murky pale yellow color, white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, tropical fruit hops, fruity and moderately bitter. Alright.

Can at home shared with Laura. Unclear yellow color, small to average sized white to off-white head. Aroma is malts, hops, lightly dank hoppiness. Flavor is similar, lightly dank hops, moderately bitter, softly citrusy. Decent body and carbonation. Alright but nothing special.

Can (11/9/23) pour from Andover Classic Wines. Opaque, inky black with thin head quickly fading to ring, trace lacing. Aroma is strong peanut butter, banana, background marshmallow/vanilla. Taste is peanut butter, roasted malt, hint of vanilla--not really getting banana. Smooth, thin body, soft carbonation, no sign of alcohol and finish as taste. I wish the taste mirrored the aroma but still decent.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma is peanut butter and bolder vanilla. Flavor has the vanilla, peanut butter and just a tiny trace of banana. Sweet desserts out without a doubt. It delivers on the flavors.

Reunion draught, 4/12/24. Heavily hazy, deep bronze with muted brass-maize. Thin white ring. Somewhat timid nose, with light orange-mango. Seems clean enough. Timid flavor, as well. Watery, vague malt, vague hops. Too low bitterness. Clean and with good orange, clementine and mango. But just so little of everything. Bit of lingering woody scope and pine with some alcohol breaking through. These guys should have never moved to Black Hog, I guess. Hard to imagine a worse contract brewery than Brewmasters Services, but the beers have definitely gotten worse since going to Black Hog...

Ripeish tropical fruity, citrusy and piney with some grapefruit, floral notes, grass and sweetness. Okay, not super fresh anymore.

Pours murky pink magenta into a tulip. Pink head with little retention crackles and recedes to nothing. Tart raspberry and vanilla aromas. Spritzy with sweet hot raspberry tart that turns more lactic and tart before turning to crushed seeds and meringue in the dry, medium length finish. Raspberry pretty much sums it up.
