It’s baaaack!!!! And apparently improved. Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours light amber with a creamy white head. Aroma seems floral/citrus. Med body. It has a hop bite. Flavor is floral/citrus over caramel. that goes a bit toffee with time. Malt not so roasty as some APAs, which seems to be a good thing here. Nice.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours orangey copper with an off-white creamy head. Aroma seems medicinal. Near full bodied. Flavor is many things - light phenol, nuts, caramel. Body thins rapidly. There wasn’t much detectable hop initially, but now it’s getting somewhat bitter. Arguably earthy. Strange, but tasty.

On tap at River City. Herbal, pine dank dominates. Clear orange with a white head that remains and laces down the sides. Dank, slight citrus. Massive bitterness detracts from beer. Slightly oxidized. Astringent finish.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours ruddy dark brown. Beige head. Aroma of brown sugar and resin/citrus hop. Flavor is sweet malt/brown sugar with just a bit of earthiness - with some warming wheat, and nearly enough hop to fight the malt. Seems bitter in the finish.

Cask at the brewpub. Pours black with a foamy dark tan head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee and really dark malt. Med body. It has a smooth milk chocolate aspect - with slightly harsh burnt malt. The minimal coffee seems to carry a touch of cinnamon/spice. Nice. Easy drinking. Tasty.
