Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma is fruity and pithy. Citrus edge. Resinous hints. Waxy orange juice orange. Frothy foamy white head. Flava is fruit juice. Stone fruit and citrus. Sugary element. Some hopburn in their. I don't own any gridiron paraphernalia so don't really know where to go with that hopburn reference. Anyway, it's fruity. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Dece, brah.

Can from LCB, consumed 6 months past BBE - yikes!. Hazy orange-gold with smooth white head, decent lacing. Aroma of marmalade, mango, pineapple chunks, some biscuit. Taste of pineapple, dank sweet earthiness, herbs and lime. Medium+ bodied, smooth, fine carbonation. Moderate bitterness. Tasty although would prefer more fruity hop notes to offset the dankness if I'm picky. I suspect this one has lost a fraction of its hop intensity but not enough to makemake it a write off. Enjoyed it.

Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma has chocolate, dusty coffee. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head. Initial bitterness which matches the Aroma. Followed by a tangy berry streak. Underlying molasses hints. Medium bodied. Oily. Average-soft carbonation..Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmmm... I guess they were trying to pump in flavour but it's somehow a bit OTT for me. A bit ick.

Spotty beige head on an unclear still brown coloured body - Think Coca Cola. Full on coffee aroma. Medium bodied, low carbonation & sticky on the back. Cold stewed coffee, tobacco, strawberry & herbal tastes. Coffee & Strawberry doesn't mix - Weird shit.
