Can shared by Matt from BBall league. Opaque, milky yellow with light sparkle, thick head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruit and bread. Taste is strong guava, papaya, bread and cracker. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and malty over fruity finish with mild lingering bitterness. Pretty nice all around.

16 oz can. Aroma of lemon, herb, soft white bread. Body is soft with a nice amount of lemon and herb. Soft bitterness with a fresh citrus quality. Good!

Undated can shared by CLW on 6/15/25. Thanks, Chris!
Lightly hazy, pale-brass-gold. Small, white head.
Juicy fruits, juicy pineapple and a round, honey-like malt. Mildly spicy tea. Balanced and dainty. Clean.
Juicy, soft and malty. Lemon, pineapple, tea and soft, rich, attenuated malts. Clean and snappy. Super flavorful and drinkable. No resin or weirdness.

Undated can shared by CLW on 6/14/25.
Clear, dark. Small, tan head.
Sugar and alcohol. Maybe a touch of vanilla in the nose but I don't get much adjunct. Not boozey, but seems a bit sweet.
Roasted coffee character with light vanilla. Old chocolate flavored coffee and a good attenuation. But it feels fairly raw and sugary nonetheless. Just not a solid, comforting, malty texture that I want from a beer of this abv. Kind of an odd bitterness lingering, as well.

16 oz can. Aroma is mild chocolate and vanilla powder. Flavor is good with soft, lingering vanilla, roasted night, and some chocolate cream. Maybe a touch of banana? Body is a touch lean but the flavor is good. Interesting

Can shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Opaque black with light viscosity, no head/lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, vanilla. Taste is strong vanilla over milder, later coffee, sweet malt, vestiges of vegetal/green pepper. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with light lingering bitterness. Smells perfect. Taste is not as balanced as aroma. Vegetal quality in flavor not welcome but still good.

Can from Matt, undated, drunk 6/8/25.
Very pale, near-turbid, near-concrete. Big, off-white head. Fluffy, well-retained.
Sweet, honey-like malts with tropical fruits galore and no big pine from the Ekuanot. Very juicy, round and soft nose with good strength and well-developed hop character. Malts gently balance. Clean, no alcohol or resin noted.
Soft juiciness with mega-papaya-guava-white grape, a good bit of honeydew melon and some mild citrus to add a bit more zesty bitterness. Big, deep malts dry out nicely on the finish. Good bitterness throughout with great malt depth, great attenuation, no weird yeast, no herb. Great flavor development and balance all-around. So impressed with this brewery!

Undated can, fresh, drunk 5/15/24.
Not crystal clear, but mostly. Bronze-brass with deep hay tones. Large, frothy, well-retained, white head.
Very fragrant. Not sure if it's all compelling, but the lime, orange, spice and light mineral is. There's some more pineapple and borderline punchy melon character alongside light sourdough that I don't find works well. But it's clean, polished, with good, white bread-like malt to balance and no alcohol or resin.
Juicy citrus in the flavor. Quite straightforward, with a bit of Christmas spice and excellent malt depth and attenuation. Clean and polished. This brewer makes excellent beers and even the much maligned WC IPA is done well under their guidance. No toast, no caramel, no resin, no intense pine. Just excellent base malt and balanced hops. Still hate Krush and I don't think the almost tart berry component it produces does much for the beer, but everything else going on here is excellent.

Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy pale orange, nice sparkle, fizzy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is tart fruit, sweet cherry, blood orange. Taste is strong tart fruit, sweet cherry, blood orange and background pineapple. Smooth, frothy, watery texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. I wish the pineapple had been stronger. OK.
