My husband won’t drink it, too hoppy for him. I like it.

Taster pour from a can at Rising Pint Brewfest. It's a cloudy dark yellow with trace sparkle, ring of off-white head with no lacing. Aroma is strong citrus and grapefruit, mild herb. Taste follows aroma with malt backbone. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not groundbreaking but a nice craft beer to have while watching the game with your homies.

Can from tfontana in a share. Should be a new-ish can. Aroma is moderate pineapple notes with soft citrus. The flavor has pineapple with weak citrus hints notes. Soft bitterness with a juicy texture. This beer reminds me exactly of the Kinsman I had called bang bang. I am a bit confused. Same yeast and hop profile? Hard to know...

Can pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits. Appearance is opaque orange-light brown with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width white foamy head with good retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, citrus rind, melon. Taste is strong, sweet fruit (fairly nondescript) with identifiable pineapple, grape and berry. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, full, velvety texture, soft carbonation, nice mild alcohol warmth and juicy finish as taste. Overall, decent look and great feel for the style. Aroma and taste are strong and juicy though lack a ton of complexity. A good drink!

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana, a new brewery to me!! Murky ugly looking brownish color. Aroma is bold pineapple notes with soft herbs. The flavor combines pineapple with citrus and gives a soft earthy herbal note. Soft bitterness with a juicy texture. Pineapple juice bomb that hides the ABV! After having this, I would love to sample more from this brewery.

Bottle at the December Ratebeer DC Tasting. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small white head. Aroma was roasted malts, lots of smooth bourbon and a little bit of roasted, slightly bitter coffee. Dark chocolate. Pretty good stuff.
