16oz can from Lighthouse pours a pulpy yellow, white head. Huge green grass nose, dank, minty, toothpaste. Some oat. Flavor has oats and grass, melon, toothpaste, some sweet n low. There is a saccharine character which coupled with the full body puts you off a pinch. 7 7.5 6.5 6 6.5

Pint at Max's. Malty, chewy. Sweet. Some orange. Medium full bodied. Well done. Bit malty for the traditional style but enjoyable. 7 6.5 6.5 7 6.5

Poured a totally hazy, I mean thick-and-hazy yellow-orange color. I guess there's a head in there, it's foamy yellow-orange like the base beer. Aroma is big pineapple, light sour notes. Flavor was JUST like a pineapple upside down cake. It nails what it's going for.

Some pine and not a lot of extra character. Pours hazy orange with decent head. Light bitter end. Not bad, just lacks character. Tap at brewery.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a Brut IPA because that brief trend kind of died hard like Bruce Willis. But this one isn’t bad at all. The initial hops aroma is quite nice, with big grapefruit, passion fruit and peach. Pours hazy yellow without much head. Light bitter finish. I get a little champagne yeast, but overall this mostly tastes like a good hazy. Tap at brewery.

Can pour at the April DCBeer monthly gathering. Poured a cloudy yellow-orange color. This reminded me of a mimosa. Aroma was very pleasant orange, some citrus. Flavor was very creamy, light vanilla, citrus. Dangerous - alcohol is totally masked in this one.
