Pours mahogany-tinged dark brown into a tulip. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Chocolate, dark pit fruit and espresso aromas. Medium bodied and dry with dark chocolate covered pit fruit and tart orange peel upfront turning to sweet espresso in the medium length finish. Becomes bitterly unfortunate tasting as it warms.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a tulip. White micro head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Rotting apple and super elastic bubble plastic aromas. Medium bodied with sweet watery apple and pie crust quickly disappears to nothing in the abrupt finish. That's the fastest finish I've ever experienced.

Pours hazy gold into a stein. Bright white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Cracker and meadow aromas. Crisp with straw, tart apricot and sourdough upfront turning to overripe, dirty fruit skins and seeds in the dry, medium length finish. Not pleasant as it warms.

Pours hazy light gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to pool surface. White smarties, mango and melon aromas. Thick with tangerine, passion fruit and melon upfront turning to dirty tropical fruit skin in the dry, medium length finish.

Pours murky gold into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Mango and pineapple aromas. Soft and thin with dirty tropical fruit skin, pineapple rind and peach fuzz front to back. Medium length bitter crushed citrus seed finish.

Pours dark mahogany into a tulip. Mocha head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Double bubble and banana laffy taffy aromas. Medium bodied with bubblegum and banana upfront turning to mild pecan before the lasting bubblegum finish. Nope.

Pours clear, bright garnet-tinged mahogany into a willi. Tan head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing to glop rim. Ozone and light caramel aromas. Soft with sweet candied nuts and dried summer fruit upfront turning to an abrupt mild toasted wheat bread finish. I boosted the overall score as it is better than the sum of it's parts... inoffensive and easy to drink...closer to a red ale than a dunkel.

Pours cloudy amber into a stein. Mocha head with medium retention crackles and recedes to nothing. Caramel and multigrain aromas. Soft with sweet caramel, a touch of butterscotch and toast with honey front to back... uh, a tad sweet...

16 oz. can. Thanks to tfontana on the trade. Aroma does show mild pineapple and citrus. The flavor shows soft citrus with a mix of tropical fruit. Has low bitterness and a crisp texture. Sure is an interesting hop. I think this is the first time I’ve had it completely solo.

On tap as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is dark, dark brown--virtually opaque--with light sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted peanuts and malt. Taste is strong peanuts and lactose (sweetness kind of detracts). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the lactose is too apparent and takes over. I wish taste mirrored aroma.
