Bottle shared by Sarah, thanks! Pours a murky deep amber with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of earthy grains with backing spice and a hint of chocolate. Flavor is similar with deep grain notes supported by spice and just a bit of earthiness.

Purchased at Binnys in Chicago, IL, enjoyed at home prior to playing a show at a dive bar. Appearance is a bright, very slightly cloudy gold with a rich white head, looks fantastic. Aroma is rich in citrus hops, also floral & pine notes, the smell is pretty potent and great. Taste is also fantastic, abundant citrus and orange peel notes, there is a faint caramel malt backing which is also somewhat bready, really great stuff.

Bottle in NH thanks to Wally. Pours clear pink with a fine, pink-white head. Mellow underripe raspberry aroma. Very lightly sweet flavor with modest tang. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Clean lightly tangy finish with fresh and tangy and somewhat mellow raspberry character. Very drinkable.
