Brewery draught, 12/6/25, as pictured.
Mildly spiced nose is tasteful with typical clove, pepper and fruity esters/phenols. Bready malts behind it with no alcohol or flaw noted.
Similar flavors. Solid across the board and not-overspiced, though maybe a bit more breadiness and clove than I'd like, ideally. Good, chewy texture with good attenuation.

Brewery draught, 12/6/25.
Minimally hazy, pineapple-golden with a small, wispy, white head.
Brett is front-and-center, backed by biscuity, bready malt and soft, fruity and peppery hops. Not overdone or overexpressed, nor does it seem to be overattenuated. Lots of stone fruit and pineapple character with a touch of earth and medicinal character (not bad medicinal character).
Quite nicely-textured for its small size. Some deep malt adding white bread and biscuit. Fruity, peppery, gently acidic Brett balances and adds good complexity. Maybe a touch of a preponderance of breadiness/acid on the end, as the glass gets near the bottom, but otherwise very well-done with a ton of flavor and texture for its size.

Sweet fruity and resinous piney hoppy, caramel sweet malty support, piney resinous bitter hoppy finish. Good stuff.

Tropical aroma, light pine. Taste follows, citrus, pine, aromatics, no bitterness in the finish.

Brewery draught, 8/4/24. Heavily hazy, blonde-to-bronze. Small, creamy, white head. Juicy fruit with clean, estery yeast and a solid malt backing. Spicy, malty, excellent balance and texture. Good attenuation and tons of spicy Galaxy without the typical drying spruce-cranberry mega bitterness that is current Galaxy. What a damned nice surprise this brewery was!

Brewery draught, 8/4/24. Heavily hazy, blonde-peach-golden. Small, white head. Fresh, airy yeast and bright hops. Juicy, clean, with light cracker and biscuit. Soft, very malty, moderate attenuation. Low bitterness. Tangy hop finish with fresh yeast and mild juiciness. Lightly spicy. Pretty good balance, maybe tending a touch sweet.

Sample at the NH Brewfest in Portsmouth 10/14/23. Pours lightly hazy dark yellow with a bubbly white head. Slightly sweet bready ceral with earthy spicy hops to counter. Interesting beer.

16 oz can. Aroma is very mild salinity with a note of watermelon. The flavor in the watermelon is brighter than I thought it would be. Ends on salinity, and a soft tartness. Nothing off or artificial. This was quite a nice surprise!
