16 oz can in a trade with ClarkVV. Flavor of soft cracker, caramel, mild hops. Pretty decent.

Can code says 3221013. From the cooler at least, drunk 3/19/24. Crystal clear, copper-brass. Medium-sized, white head, moderate retention. Lovely nose is clean and snappy. Lager crispness on the end and quite malty and dry, seemingly. Malty, lightly bready, herbal hops and a bit of earth and apple. Medium bodied, good attenuation. Shockingly good for this unheard of brewery, but then, Castle Island makes clean beer, and this was contracted there.

Thought getting a new brewery tick but dumb RB search didn’t return Loophole brewing in mass as an option. Purple pour. Nose is light berry. Tastes of faint berrry black and blue, touch of yeast and dust. Thin bodied and incredibly subdued flavors. Almost not there of a beer

Can at my house while hosting a cookout. Fine looking cloudy yellow with bright white head. Nose is lovely bouquet of citrus fruits. Tastes of passion fruit, peach, lime, oats, wheat, dough, and florals. Smooth palate low bitterness. Fruity finish.

Can (0178003 on the bottom, no idea what that means) pour from Rotary Liquors, West Springfield. Appearance is cloudy orange-yellow with fine particular mist, trace sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and sheets of sudsy lacing. Aroma is pineapple, lemon, mango, peach, berry. Taste is strong pineapple, lemon, melon, trace of lime and alcohol with malt backbone. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, aroma is more nuanced than taste, but also more subtle. Pretty tasty overall for my first exposure to this brewer.

14 oz draft. Who is this!!! The aroma and flavor are bold passionfruit, lemon, limes, juicy grapefruit chunks. Very juicy and no to low bitterness. Wow! Very nice entry into the craft beer scene. Awesome First Encounter !
