500ML from AFH. good looking beer, a little bit of haze, some sediment, bright watermelon red, 1 finger off-white head. Smells really good. A fresh cherry aroma and a little bit of earthiness. has an earthy mulch-like salad flavor with heavy raspberry flavor. Cherry is present but it's even a little peppery as well.

16 oz. can purchased at 7-11 Kittery. Can date of 9-20-18. Aroma is light pineapple, floral notes, and mild citrus pith. Flavor is sweet pineapple upfront with a slight citrus pith bitterness. Malt is soft with the fruit lasting after the sip. Pretty enjoyable!

Sample during the "New England Beer & Food Tasting" on 07/14/2018. Hazy pinkish-ruby color with a thin pinkish-white head that evaporates quickly to a wispy film. Spotty lace. Tart berry, yeast and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of tart raspberry, mildly funky yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart with a berry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Canned 7/14, drunk 9/22/18.
Lightly hazy sort of cidery-weizen pour with the head fizzling away instantly. Canary to gold color.
Hefe yeast is prominent in the nose showing banana and mild clove. Some light, herbal hops, vanilla and honey malts continue to give the impression of a hefe.
Spicy yeast with a helles-like texture and body, indeed. Honey, herbs, light-to-moderate bitterness, the hefe character intensifying the hops via pepper and clove. Soft and malty, low, hefe-like carbonation. Basically all the qualities of a hefe yeast without all the chewy wheat-like textures. Maybe they fermented it a little cooler or crashed it sooner? I don't know. Seems like they were successful in what they were aiming for. Clean and malty, hard to complain.

Pours a slightly hazy brown from a can. Hershey’s chocolate and medium roast coffee aroma and flavors. Rather sweet and somewhat effervescent in the mouth. Good beer.

4 oz. at the brewery. A clear golden color. Aroma is honey and a very mild spice. Flavor reminds me of a golden ale with a very subtle spice. Ends on a tea leaf note. It is ok.

4 oz. at the brewery. Aroma is lager yeast, pilsner malt and old toffee hints. The body and flavor is what you would expect. Caramel and toffee that tastes old with the yeast throughout the sip. Light body with a simple yeast finish.

Draft pour at the Aslin 3rd Anniversary party. Poured a very dark brown color, with a small, white head. Aroma was pleasant coffee notes, roasted malts. Robust, roasted character. Actually kind of refreshing.
