Poured up on tap at tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit, clementine candy citrus and mango. The taste delivers some grapefruit hop bitterness, clementine citrus candy and then sweet bread bordering on diacetyl. Hmmm?

Sample from crowler at Kurtkeller 029: Keller-tastic 01 (Homebrews For Homeboy) on 08/05/2018. Cloudy golden color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Stringy lacing. Tropical fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, mango and caramel malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

On tap at the brewery, aged 1 year. Amber, bright, very thin head. Very sticky and rich. Intense bitterness. This is a year old? Jesus. I mean it’s a decent Am BW but it is so intense.

Hazy, medium head. Grapefruit, orange, and a fair bit if sweet pale malt. Bitter, but balanced. Touch of alcohol late. Maybe rye, in the finish especially.

Medium brown. No head. Mostly chocolate, tannins and booze on the nose. Big rum taste, whack of boozy alcohol.

Dark brown. Medium brown, thin head. Has a sweet, slightly toffeeish malt note. Sweet, burnt dates, I won’t say it’s good but it is fun. I actually don’t get much vinous, but I get a big tannic, boozy finish.

Muddy and gross looking. Thin head. Smells like a mess...some weird fruits, weird barrels and a lot of barrel sweetness. A huge miss. For a beer with no obvious faults, this is just abjectly bad.

Hazy dull amber, and no head. All kinds of chewy on the nose, big alcholic whack, lots of bitterness. Chewy old school.

Haze, thin head, mostly tropical with a little dank. Dry body, low bitterness than is barely balanced ...just enough sugar left. I like the bright fruity notes but the balance isn’t necessarily there.

Murky, no head. Soft, moderately bitter, and not much malt. Good hops in here but not as bright as I’d hope.
