Description
In mythology, literature and many cultures, the Raven is seen as a culture hero, a revered and benevolent, transformative figure. The Raven helps people, blesses them with gifts and shapes the world. But at the same time, he is a frivolous trickster, a light-hearted prankster who is sometime gluttonous and impatient. The Raven as our totem works perfectly. We like to think we are creative, wise, playful and a bit bird-brained; just like those wacky Ravens.

16 oz can. Aroma is wet dishrag, onion, floral, skunkweed, pot resin. Smells range from slightly negative, moving to meh, to opening up considerably and actually becoming somewhat pleasant. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste has a mild to moderate bitterness with flavors running the gamut from trash to piney pot-tinged goodness. I don’t know what to make of it actually.

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark, clear brown pour with a fizzy beige head. Aroma is light coconut and dark toasty malts. Coconut much more pronounced in the taste, along with some sweetness, tapering off to a dry and mildly bitter finish.

12 oz can. Aroma is floral, chalky candy, grassy. Pours lightly hazy pale golden with a thin off-white head that settles into a skiff quickly. Taste is mostly sweet backed by a building hop bitterness, finishing dry.

16 oz can. Aroma is catty, piney, pineapple, dank. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a high pithy bitterness backed by insignificant crackery malt sweetness.
