Draft at AE, 10/24/23. Can from AE, 11/3/23 (canned 10/24/23). Exciting new release for the 3rd Anniversary, and the beer used to christen my 3rd Anniversary glass. Mostly clear gold color with a nice froth of white head. Grapefruit and stone fruit, with a good bit of resin (more pine-forward on draft). Drinks a little sweet, very clean. Fruity and bright. Lots of flavor. Solidly bitter on the close, but not to the classic West Coast level. Tasty.

500 ml bottle from AE, 10/12/23. Poured this into my brand new Melesa's Wings glass, which felt very appropriate. Maybe the most proper of proper glassware. It pours into the glass a dark brown color, with a thin light brown head that disappears pretty quickly. Big time banana and vanilla on the aroma and flavor. There's some roast underneath, with a good bit of wood and whiskey notes as well. Definitely leans sweet, but not at all in an off putting way. It's frankly delicious. It drinks great too. Full bodied and smooth. Chewy. Long duration. Awesome beer for an awesome cause. Great job with this one Brendan, Scott, Steve, Jose, and the rest of the team! Excellent overall, managing to perfectly hit the sweet spot (pun intended) between no sweet flavors and cloyingly sweet. Yeah, I really really dig this one.

16 oz can from AE, 9/20/23. Pours a fully hazy yellowish color with a nice white head and some fairly strong lacework. Quite juicy, with some pineapple, peach, melon, and mango. Rather dank as well. Fairly balanced. Tasty, tasty brew. I hope anyone who likes beer watches the Today Show clip about this beer and Melesa's Wings. It's great and Jose is a great guy raising money for a great cause.
