Canned. Poured a darker Amber. Wild sweet floral notes uo front leading into a malty finish. Interesting

I barely remember this one but it was canned from DBW, fluffy and juicy I think.

Taster at OBL. Hazy yellow pour, head disappears, but some streaky lacing. Fruity aroma, hoppy, almost a spicy aspect. Taste is hoppy, tropical fruit with a light but noticable bitterness. Very enjoyable.

Dark clear, but crazy coloured purple and even grey coloured body with a large, but fast-dying tan head, on top of the crazy clear, beautiful-ish purple and indigo glow. Aroma of light grassy and herbal hop notes, a little bit of sugar, some biscuity malts and clean, crisp lager yeast scent. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong crisp citrusey, grassy and herbal flavours show up at first with some nice actual floral flavours with jasmine and lavender noticeable as well, with a pretty soft maltiness that brings out th elight hops and smooth sugars - a subdued but noticeable complexity. Aftertaste shows a good balance throughout, with more of the grassy and especially herbal notes the strongest, but some sugars, malt, light hops and lager yeasts are all still noticeable. Overall, a nice complex and funky beer that still tastes great and while crazy looking, especially on the pour, the lagerness is slightly hidden and more complexity emerges - very nice to have this one local and fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 23-August-2021 for US$3,75, canned on 23-June-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-September-2021.

Fairly hazy and deep copper and bronze coloured body with the slightest bit of a pink hue coming through on the sides of the glass with a fairly fast-dying tan and off-white head that barely leaves a lace, after a few seconds. Aroma of honey, alcohol, malts, yeast, wheat, flowers, coriander seed, curacao and a good deal of bread, with a faint dose of fruits, but these taste much closer to stone fruits (ala apricots and peaches) than any pomegranate. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong malt backbone shows through with a dense, very pungent bready and yeastie bite with some floral aspects, but more of the dry and perfumey qualities punch through a few seconds later that leads to a more sweet, still robust, but pungent beer without any fruits noticeable at all - some spices for sure, but no fruits. Aftertaste shows some of the coriander seed, curacao and big honey sweetness with a lot of yeast, bread and alcohol still here as well with nowhere to hide with a thick complexity and depth throughout. Overall, a pretty nice tripel with a big character from the yeast, wheat, coriander seed and curacao with a slight dose of fruits and perfumey qualities, but the alcohol, sugars and malt especially loom large here. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Springfield, Virginia on 25-June-2021 for US$3,75 sampled at my house here in Washington as Beer #14 of my 2021 Advent Calender (yes, I'm two days behind) on 16-December-2021.
