16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Thank buddy. Aroma is lactic acid underneath soft pineapple. The lactic character is mild in this sour ale. Pineapple is noticed but soft. Natural pineapple flavor with low sourness. Very approachable for the style.

16 oz. can received in a trade with Tom. Love these new labels from this brewery!! Aroma has herbal notes with mild grapefruit. Flavor has a bready malt backbone with grapefruit, herbal, and floral characters. Maybe a hint of generic apricot. Overall, pretty balanced and rather easy to drink.

Can (20015) pour. Appearance is opaque black with no sparkle, thin cap of light brown head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strongly roasted malts (bordering on ash), dark chocolate, nuts, more vanilla as it warms. Taste is nice blend of vanilla, cacao and lactose, lighter hazelnuts, as advertised. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth and sweet finish as taste but mild bitterness at very end. Overall, taste beats aroma. Decent balance to it though hazelnuts are a little muted.

12 oz. can shared by by tfontana, thanks for the chance Tom. Vanilla, cocoa, and metal. This was canned January 2020. Flavor has a nice chocolate element with vanilla, maybe hazelnut, as a afterthought. Good mouthfeel and balance between the adjuncts.

Can from Tfontana, thanks for the opportunity. Hazy light gold in color with a stingy off white head. Citrus pine and tropical fruits with a solid bready maltiness to counter. Light alcohol, moderate body, pretty tasty beer.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks big pimp! Marked “Citra / Galaxy” on the bottom. Flavor is peach-ish, oranges and earthy hops too. Hay and oat texture. Fizzy carbonation. Lasting finish. Tasteful and easy drinkable, but a tad too thin.

16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks big killa! Flavor is slight chocolate, raisins, and a bolder earthy malt backbone. Yeast comes through only slightly toward the back end of the sip. Overall, it is earthy with notes of dark fruit and cocoa. Nice example of the style.
