Taster pour from a can at Rising Pint. Lightly hazy golden yellow, thin cap of head. Aroma is a Blondie with chocolate chip. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. A nice white stout. After researching a bit, would love to have more of this homebrewer!

Can pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Cloudy orange juice with nice sparkle, thin head with good retention and lacing. Aroma is strong apricot, guava, citrus over grain. Taste is citrus and guava interrupted by strong grain and cracker. Smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste with mild bitterness. Malts are too assertive, particularly in flavor. Too carbonated.

12 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Shows a nearly clear gold appearance. Aroma of soft grain, yeast, light honey with a soft bitterness. Easy to drink and ends with a clean finish. Simple and straightforward craft lager. Pleasant.

Can pour shared by Steve. Opaque, inky, motor oil black with light sparkle, thick head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is earthy roasted malt, cocoa. Taste is ashy roasted malt, earth. Smooth, creamy texture, average carbonation and less ashy finish. Unfortunately, taste is least accomplished feature. Glad to experience the brewery.
