12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 2/2/2018. Pours fairly crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Nicely clean on lager flavors, minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a pretty good pale lager. All around good robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Clean Pils/Munich/Vienna malts and mild earthy hop presence/balance. Was expecting more for an all malt lager, but it's nicely enjoyable.

Can, pale yellow. Mild veggie IPA nose. Citrus veggie taste as well. yes, a typical wannah-bee low alky IPA. Quite the ubiquitous session, very veggie in nature. Good bubbly palate, tho, it saves the session. Probably a little more civilized than I care to admit. That's probably because its not a real IPA, know what I mean?

Look, I am not a fan of heavy amber ale, so ignore the numbers. This is good IPA, no lie. This bottle pours darker but not too Dark. It looks more like iced tea. Typically ale-ish, you know, like many typical ruff ales. Malty, pretty coo I'd say. Bitter builds. Becomes a little medicinal; in the end. A little viscous on the palate throughout.

Full draft pour at Charleston Beer Works in Charleston SC. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was pretty mild - some light tart notes, but not a lot of peach really. Flavor was a little tart, some minor vinegar notes, lightly soured notes. Slight peach finish.

Dark brown coloured body with a relatively fast-dying tan head, about two centimetres tall. Aroma of toasted malt, hazlenuts, earth, grain, a light bit of coffee and a dose of caramelised sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Noticeable malty and caramel flavours with some hazlenuts and grain around as well as some very light brewed coffee, but not too much, especially in terms of a porter. Aftertaste is on the malty side with earth and grain and very little else, aside from sugars and a faint hit of coffee. Overall, a decent beer at best that shows more of a Brown Ale than a porter, and the coffee taste is definitely muted, but this at least shows some complexities, but definitely not on par with some of the better coffee-based beers. Still, sad to say that this is decent to try, given that I'm not in South Carolina often. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Grapevine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$1,70 after watching the Eclipse, sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 02-September-2017.

Slightly hazy copper and bright bronze coloured body with a fairly thin, fast-dying tan head, only a centimetre tall. Aroma of rich malt and metals, some alcohol and a pungent kick of astringent notes with no real hops noticeable and only a dash of fruits - not much in here aside from the alcohol and rich malts. Medium-bodied; Very strong malty flavour with a lot of cardboard, alcohol, bitterness and pungency from some deeper fruits like apricots and nectarines, but some sweetness is around at least near the end to break the bitterness. Aftertaste is deep and assertive with alcohol and malt the strongest flavours. Overall, a decent IPA at best with some moderate bitterness, but not from the hops - from the malt and alcohol, and more malt than expected, but a decent beer. Definitely not worth picking up when there are other options, especially in the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Grape Vine in Form Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 after watching the Eclipse for US$1,70 sampled at home in Washington on 31-August-2017, just ten days later.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Hazy pale yellow with medium white head. Aroma is smoke, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is smoke, herbal hops, and some blueberry. The flavors don't meld for me.
