Draft at Taplands. Orange pour with a beige head that leaves decent lacing. Fruity sons, but not really lucky charms, more like pineapple and grapefruit to me. I do get done cereal like grains from either the lucky charms or the malt, and there's a touch of residual sweetness as well, though it's mostly bitterness. Finishes on the dry side. Medium bodied and a bit fizzy. Decent to good, but not great, and not as lucky charms tasting as Leiny, but that's okay.

Clear orange pour with a small white head and light, spotty lacing. Strong hops and booze aroma. Grapefruit and pine. Drinks on the bitter side, with some booziness to the finish of the flavor and the feel. Drinks fairly full.

Poured up on tap at the original Toronado where it exhibits a crystal clear pure copper body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma is thick sticky warm pine hop resin, a bit of floral hops and then some citrus grapefruit and clementine like hoppiness at the end of the draw. The taste is thick and smooth and bitter with resiny hops that are pine and somewhat grapefruit like and then getting a little more mango and cantaloupe adding a dash of juiciness toward the finish. It remains firmly bitter with hops and thick and chewy and sticky from front to back.

Tap at Capitol Beer. Apparently this keg was brewed at Mraz. ABV was 5.5. Pours rather light gold with a white head. Aroma is very light. seems fruit. Med body, almost. Flavor is very light fruit, some very well done mildly roasty caramel. Smooth. No harshness at all. Silky. Quite nice, tho not strongly flavored.

Poured up on tap at Tap25 where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy dankness with some citrusy tangerine and Clementine in the background. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of spicy onion hops, tangerine, pineapple and a sliver of mango juiciness. This is going well. The hop bitterness and thin juiciness keep this deep and interesting yet dangerously drinkable. Solid.
