Can at home. Orange colored and alcohol looking film. Some head at first. Nose is faint spice and maple and pumpkin. Tatsss of light pie filling, some spices but quite subdued, some maple syrup more so on finish. Slick

On tap at Russell House Tavern in Cambridge. Honey gold pour. Creamy white head. Earthy malt nose hints at dank citrus. Flavor is bittersweet citrus with a toasted malt backbone. Warming alcohol in middle. Spicy hops on backend hint at resiny pine. Well done.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Melon and lychee aromas. Soft with sweet mango, lychee and melon upfront turning to earthy, bitter pith in the lasting finish.

Pours hazy dark copper into an English pint. Off white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing spiders. Caramel and multigrain aromas. Thick with sweet candy corn and toasted multigrain upfront turning to bitter nut shells in the hot, lasting bitter earth finish.

Canned 5/25/23, drunk 6/29/23. Clear bronze. White head immediately to ring. Grass, spice, citrus, with strong floral notes and almost a dry pinot grigio like quality. Cracker and bready malts stay out of the way and its clean with low mineral. Hmmm, it's soft, rich, chewy, sweet, pretty sluggish, honestly. Pepper, floral notes, bitterness is strong with punchy hop notes of resin, unripe fruit skins. Earth, mineral, heavy pepper. Yeah...just not what I was looking for here. I want snappy yeast and crisp, deep malts with fruity, spicy, mineral-rich hops. This is somewhat the opposite of all of those. Did not finish.

CX draught, 6/15/23. Hazy, muted purple. Small, purple tinted head to ring. Grape, lemon juice, nutty pea flowers and low malt, but no obnoxious raw lactic character. Mostly lemon juice. Dry, attenuated, some cracker and biscuit like malt keeps it from being too thin. More lemon juice and very light pea flower. Could definitely tone down the lemon but at least it's authentic instead of a mouth full of gross, fake lactic acidity.

CX draught, 6/15/23. Undetermined clarity. Dark raisin-mahogamy. Neat, dark beige head. Wow initial notes are very promising with rich raisin, toffee, vanilla-like malts and a lovely amount of sherry to balance with it's dryness. No booze, no heavy breadiness, no unwanted yeast character. Strong sherry with accompanying salinity drying things out nicely. Caramel, toffee, raisin, fig galore. Medium body, not syrupy or sugary. Excellent balance and mildness from aging. Love love love that sherry.

CX draught, 6/15/23. Clear, bright lemon-gold. Small, white head slowly fades to spotty cover. Touch of sulfur/mineral, with poignant tropical fruits, grapefruit, lime and star fruit. White bread-like malt is supportive. No heavy melon, pine, resin, booze. Clean. Soft, with ample bitterness but balanced by great maltiness. Excellent balance and nice to see actual appropriate bitterness in a NEIPA. Plentiful yellow fruits, tropical and otherwise. Not heavy on pineapple, which is impressive for this hop.

CX tap, 6/15/23. Quite hazy ?? And the NEIPA I ordered with it is clear.... Pale brass-golden. White head clinging to edge. Lotta sulfur, that's nice. Not a lot of crude ester/phenol. No banana/bub gum/clove. Just sulfur, pepper and a touch of tropical fruit. Biscuity malts. Lovely! Big white pepper and dry citrus rind, with Meyer lemon and gentle, herbaceous hops. Malty, dry, balanced. These mid-range belgians are a weird thing to have as your specialty but I'm not complaining. I suspect this may be a saison yeast but I'm not convinced so I've left it as a Belgian ale.
