Can. The beer pours a clear gold with a medium to small head and aromas of slightly funky honey with a little grass. Flavor is decidedly sweet... lots of honey and a little funk and lots of spice. Mostly honey and spices. I’m not really in the mood for sugary beer right now and this is kind of cheesing me off... Not awful, but certainly not going to be a favorite.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 10/5/2017. Pours moderately hazy pale golden/straw color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal bitterness, yeast spiciness, and wheat/tang tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, pear, apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and wheat tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious witbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful with a great body for the ABV. Perfect balance of pale/wheat malt, spice, and yeast character. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

22oz bomber at my tasting. Stained glass red-black. Steady beige head. Sweet vanilla chocolate tones, very rich, the barrel aging works quite well here. Pretty much an awesome world class Milk Stout, Caribbean gold. A touch of coffee, sweet booze. Well done.

Can @ home, courtesy of TheAlum. Thanks Adam! Pours a clear, golden yellow appearance with a frothy, cream colored head. Resiny, potent yet soft grapefruit citrus hoppy, lightly toasted malty aroma. Refreshingly citrusy, grapefruity, sweet toasted malty, somewhat piney flavor with a mildly bitter, hoppy kick on the finish. Nice stuff that I wish I could have more often.

Can @ home, thanks to TheAlum. Pours a hazy, somewhat cloudy, yellow appearance with a bubbly, off white head. Fairly spicy yeasty, sweet wheat, light lemon/orange citrusy, coriander, straw aroma. Very refreshing, somewhat dry wheat, lemon, spicy yeasty flavor. Very easy to drink and a fine witbier. I would love to get blasted on this shit.
