Can at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, gold-brass-maize. Small, white head, moderate retention. Nose starts out juicy, citrusy with biscuit, dough and light honey behind it. Picks up some spice, light pine and more strong grain. Lightly juicy, but with sweaty, grainy malts and big peach and pine lingering. Strong citrus, juicy at most times, pretty good attenuation. Could still use more malt depth/extraction in the mash. Punchy on the end, a bit more bitterness than I'd prefer, as well.

Can pour at PBF, 5/14/22. Lightly hazy, brassy-golden with a small-to-medium, white head showing moderate-to-low retention. Nose is mostly hops and rather acidic ones at that. Some light pepper, a bit of tropical fruit, sparse, crusty malts and no alcohol or flaw. Chewy/grainy texture, very dry, slightly undermalted with very bitter, acidic hops that make you wonder why even bother with a Belgian yeast. Punchy, acidic with strong lemon, light pine and pith/chalk.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Sourdough biscuit and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with sourdough and apricot upfront turning to dry earthy marshmallow in the medium length finish.

Just random grab. Cloudy orange tinge if brown and huge head. Nose is fruity citrus. Tastes of grapefruit, peach, cantaloupe, grassy. Smooth and semi sweet.

Can pour from Julio's Liquors. It's an opaque black (dark brown at the bottom of the glass) with decent sparkle at the sides of the glass, finger-width beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt, and includes all the adjuncts with good strength. Taste is strong roasted malt and vanilla with lesser other adjuncts and a hint of dark fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Overall, they get a lot of different aromas and flavors in here with aroma being a bit better balanced. A bit thin.

Can from Julios special distro i believe. Light cloudyness to standard lager yellow and large head. Nose is fresh mint. Tastes of mint but not in overwhelming way, nice hand was used with it. the rest of brew is lager yeast, faint citrus, grass. crisp and the addition of mint makes quite refreshing for a palate cleanse prior to our after a meal.

Can. Flavor of strong grain, toasted bread. Low hop level and a crisp dry texture. Lighter body and ends mostly clean. Exactly what you would expect in the style.

Can from Julio's Pours a hazy lemon gold in color with a big frothy white head that dissipates almost instantly. Earthy and tart on the nose with some nice stone fruitiness. Flavor is fruity with a bit of lemony tartness. Light earthy funk. Not too bad.
