Can (10/22/25) from Steve. Opaque, milky yellow banana smoothie, nice sparkle, thin head with poor retention and nice, soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus, grape and stone fruit over substantial bread. Taste is strong stone fruit, grape, milder melon and citrus, and equally strong bread. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, hoppy/malty mix finish as taste. First sip had some alcohol heat but then nothing. Quite a meal. I prefer it to Haze.

16 oz. can. Aroma is strong pine and roasted malt balance with hint of baker's chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt and pine in the aroma with late coffee bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium side with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation. Overall, pine is strong without any resin.

At the January 2026 DC Brewver gathering. 12oz bottle. Lots of wax on the top. Poured a semi-dark caramel color, with a medium sized white head. Aroma was smoke, tobacco, lots of peat. Heavy peat notes, some sweet caramel malt. Too peaty for a beer.

12oz bottle pours a murky brown, beige head. Nose has a ton of smoke and grain. Earthy. Flavor is rubbery and smokey, soap. Blows out my palate. Not for me.

Pours a hazy, mustard-banana, with mid-sized, lasting head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with some resin. Soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness through the finish. Outstanding!
