Can (5/15/24) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy, golden yellow with tons of sparkle, thin head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong tart fruit, toasted grains. Taste is toasted grain with milder tart fruit. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Not attractive hops.

16 oz can. Aroma is soft bread like malt. Flavor is a week non-descriptive fruit. Thin mouth feel that it’s almost watery. Not much of a malt backbone. Pine astringency Jeeeez.

Can from Winooski Beverage, drunk 7/6/24. Clear copper-amber. Small, off-white head. Nose is crusty, grainy, toasty malt...PNW like hops but vague. In the mouth it's almost sour with resin, overly toasted malt and a thin body. Difficult to find much to enjoy here.

Can from the co op in White river junction Hazy bright yellow gold with a hint of orange and a decent sized frothy white head that slowly recedes. Lemon melon and tangerine with bits of earth and grass and just enough bread to counter.

Can at home in NH. Picked up in Waterbury at the beer shop: pours clear red-brown with a creamy, khaki head. Light-medium sweet flavour with nicely toasted grains, biscuits, accents of brown bread, cocoa, caramel. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Decently balanced finish. Drinkable stuff.
