12oz bottle, courtesy of gregwilsonstl, pours with a clear copper body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet citrus, a dash of malts, some mango and then a mild resiny spicy hoppiness at the end of the draw. The taste delivers pleasing citrusy hops that are malt sweetened into a juicy sensation. Grapefruit and tangerine hop bitterness quickly fills in behind and heading into a dash of spicy hop bitterness. This is a straight up tasty hop treat where the decent size ABV is hardly noticeable. This may even venture into the realm of dangerously drinkable.

Pour s a hazy lemon-aid lookalike with a large white fizzy head. Aroma is lemons but not nose puckering like some of these type beers. Flavor is holy cow super sugary and sweet with some lemon in the backround. This was way more lemon-lime soda with the sugary sweetness. More like a wine cooler than a beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky brown color with a small soapy tan head that faded and left decent lacing. The aroma was malty, sweet and had a bit of dark fruit. The flavor was tangy, bitter, toasty and a bit sour and medicinal with faint dark fruits. Short finish. Medium body. Disappointing.

Pour is a dark red with almost no head. Aroma is a little red wine but not much else. Flavor is a bit of red wine and some chocolate. Not real sour more of a splash of vinegar after the swallow. This wine maker and brewer could have made a far better sour than this. But for someone just getting into sours this would be perfect to ease them into the style.

12oz bottle. Poured a blonde color with a small white head. Aroma was light grain, bread, some earthy hop notes. Grassy. Flavor was crisp malts, some light hops. Touch of corn. Nothing earth shattering, but drinkable.

Pour is a hazy amber with a huge white head. Aroma is a small sweetness with some fruit esters. Flavor is a bit of spice but not much after that. Nothing from the yeast makes an appearance. Maybe a bit of plastic at the end as well. What ever spice they used showed up well but not much more after that.

Draft at World of Beer St. Pete. Almost black color with ruby highlights, thin white head. Aroma is roasted malt, burnt grain and light coffee grounds. Body is normal for a porter. Flavor shows mild espresso bean on top of a thin chocolate malts and leading into slightly dry roast finish. The flavor is overall mild for a coffee brew. Best thing is it must be fresh because the coffee really helps improve a plain Porter base.
