16 oz. can. Aroma soft grapefruit and orange. Flavor is grapefruit, orange, soft marmalade. No can date so it’s hard to know the age. Does show slight juicy texture with zero bitterness. Easy enough to drink.

On tap at Vaughan's in Hartford. Pours murky gold with an off-white head. Aroma is real peach, skin and all. Flavor is slightly tart peach, the meat around the pit. Real peach flavor here, nothing artificial. Somewhat creamy, not sweet but not sour.

16 oz. at Union Kitchen, West Hartford, CT. Oats make a fuller body. Nitro makes it smooth mouth. Light dry roasted finish. Great flavor for only 5%. Nice introduction to the brewery. 1st beer from this brewer.

On tap at Willimantic, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, light tropical fruits, and some pine. Flavour is very fruity, with loads of resinous hops, and tropical stone fruits. Fruity and juicy, with a nice hop character. Excellent - better than the average rating suggests.

Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Cloudy orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually. Strings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbal hop and malt. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, fruit and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.
