Rather delightful. Thanks NFB!! Thick, almost hop soup, but a tad sweet. Pairing with Penguin on HBO.

Piney, fruity, lime zest, orange peel. Nice, but a bit thin. Thanks NFB!!! Two good late window NFL games.

Piney, little hoppy, some grapefruit. Body a little weak, but solid otherwise. Thanks NFB!

500 ml bottle from AE, 11/8/24. Missed this year's event due to life stuff getting in the way, but glad to be drinking the beer. Pours dark brown-black with a thin medium brown head. It's fairly coffee forward, cinnamon and other spices coming through along with the wood, vanilla, and rye undertones. This beer drinks rich and smooth. Very flavorful. ABV is noticeable, but not overwhelming. This is a fun one for sure, and well made. 9/4/8/4/18

Can from the brewery, 11/6/24. Fully hazy yellowish-orange color with a foamy froth of white head. Resin, grapefruit, and pineapple. Tropical juice. Tons and tons of flavor. Less related...the Steve on the can looks just like Steve, the Brendan looks kinda like Brendan. Really liked this beer.

Can (3/28/24, Steve...A Trekkie?) pour from Craft Beer Cellar, Westford. Cloudy yellow with thin head, fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is dank, fruity. Taste follows aroma along with grainy malt. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and dry finish as taste. Age has not likely been kind to this (had to get it for the new brewery tick and the bottom message for a brother who IS a trekkie!).

16 oz can in a trade tfontana, thanks Tom. Thank you. Aroma is mild oxidation with herb. Flavor isn’t great. The age of the can is March 2024. Hopefully one day I can get a fresher example of this.

Draft at AE, 10/22/24 and Can from AE, 10/24/24. Merging my notes. I poured this 4th Anniversary release into my 2nd Anniversary glass, because, why not. Pours a mostly clear yellow, with a nice frothy foam of white head. Bright and grassy, grapefruit / citrus zest. Super clean and bright, punchy dryness. Quality, quality stuff. 8/4/9/4/17

750 mL bottle from the brewery, 10/18/24. Bottled 7/1/24. Pours an unclear yellowish cookie with a fizzy head that dissipates quickly down to nothing. Funky and a little dry. White wine grape, some melon. Funky. Dry. Fairly clean. Good stuff. GREAT NAME. Plus one for the name on the overall.
