Undated can drunk 9/12/25.
Lightly hazy, bronze-lime-blonde. Frothy, bubbly, white head. Good retention.
Light lime and mild fruit salad at first, with scant cracker. Very timid, but swirling produces a big, fruity, juicy, Enigma bouquet with round tangerine, honeydew and musk melon and big, juicy depth with honey-like malt. Clean, no alcohol or twang.
Soft, juicy, pillowy, supple and deep with proper attenuation. Yellow fruits, mild tropical fruit, mild melon and light woody spice. Just a touch of El Dorado gives a pine accent and good bitterness, but it never gets too bitter. Enigma carries the day with melon, cherry, juicy tangerine and pomelo notes. Big honey from the malt. Insanely drinkable, soft, round, flavorful, balanced...

500mL bottle, undated (2025 release), drunk 9/10/25.
Clear, dark. Small, tan head sits at partial cover.
Rich, rich, spicy, elegant bourbon with mild sweetness and a good deal of dry cherry and oak. The adjuncts are incredibly tasteful. No big roast, no bitter orange or fruity/earthy cascara rammed down your throat. Just rich, coffee-laced bourbon with soft fruitiness and an Old Fashioned-like accent. No alcohol noted.
Coffee is more forward in the flavor, but fruity, sweet, soft, earthy with low roastiness. Soft, chewy, not quite syrupy malts are nonetheless properly attenuated on the finish, with no alcohol. Juicy and bright citrus/cascara notes add complexity without overpowering, similar to the coffee. Bourbon a little less evident in flavor than the nose, but still shows through nicely, adding cherry, vanilla, oak and mild spice. Man, these guys just cannot be stopped!!

750mL bottle undated, drunk 9/10/25.
Very little head despite a heavy pour. Bright, deep, intense bronze-brass-maize. White head instantly to edges.
Can smell the heavily fruity, lightly funky/musty yeast from a mile away. A bit cidery, as well with light woody/cedary notes and a touch of vanilla, even. Interesting and complex with excellent malts to balance.
Oooooh! That's NICE. Corky, musty, woody. Reminds me of a really old Gale's Prize Old Ale, or a very soft, ultra-aged oude lambik. Even a bit of cheesiness here. Really has it all, including no aggressive acidity, and ample malt/wheat depth/texture. And all this at 4.5% abv?! Incredible.

Haha another can where they've stamped the bottom but not with the date. This time DOGDAYS. Drunk 9/9/25.
Clear, bronze-brass. Large, thick, well-retained, white head.
Beautiful white grape in the nose with big mineral and a strong malt presence though not sweet. Biscuit and light dough/bread. Light honey-like malt, stone fruit and tropical fruit rind lingering. Clean and brightly aromatic.
Juicy white grape with soft spice and herbage (but not herbal Nelson, to be clear. This is all white grape). Mineral and rich, bread-and-honey-like malts are succulent yet well-attenuated. Just enough bitterness to balance the malts. Tons of flavor and so malty and comforting without being sluggish.
