12oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden, foamy head, lazy carbonation. Light grainy, bready aroma. Taste offers soft sweet malty flavors, more bready notes. Not much of a hop backend. Crushable.

16 oz. One week old. Aroma has notes of mango, pineapple, pine, cantaloupe, orange creamsicle. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off white head with good retention. Taste is moderately sweet with a moderate pithy bitterness. Tastes less than 9%, but this would be even better with a lower ABV. Still tasty, though.

Bale breaker Pilsner 4.8% Paler gold than the Georgetown Pilsner, the aroma is softly floral with dusty grain notes. Medium bodied, crisp and dry. Some herbal notes, this is softer and much more subtle than the Georgetown. I find it more up my alley.

750 ml waxed. At only 20% cider, this is more beer than cider, but other than possibly American Strong Ale, it doesn't really fit in any other category. Aromas of whiskey, oak, caramel, apples, pumpkin pie spices [clove, nutmeg, cinnamon], vanilla, wet stone. Pours nearly clear amber-copper with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate sweetness, some savoriness, some faint tartness and a moderately drying bitter finish. Tastes like it could have a Belgian golden ale or tripel-ish base. Different for sure. Pretty good.

Enjoyed on tap at home on New Years Eve, so there is plenty more where this came from, but figured I'd rate it now before I enjoy about 5 more pints of this tonight. Awesome brew! Thanks Eric for the keg hookup, as always. Pours a bright golden, soft cloudiness, active fizz head. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is dank, lots of grassy and tropical fruit notes. Creamier body, grassy hop flavor, smooth taste as an overall, but has a slight bitter, slight aggressive finish, as I enjoy in an IPA that even begins to lean towards a west coast style. I think I've missed the first two beers in this series, but this brew makes me regret that. Really nice brew from the brewery that makes me miss baseball season. Love this.

6.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
big frothy white head.sligtly hazy straw color. Slightly phenolic, citrus, super light body, lacking backbone. Modest bitterness. Just a bit too simple on several levels. Not bad per se, but would skip having again
