Dark brown with faint garnet edges. Earthy roasty chocolate with hints of bready caramel. Body seems a little thin but it is a tasty beer.

Can from my brother: pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is grass, lemongrass, random citrus, tons of herbs. Basically, this beer took the negative aspects of mosaic and magnified them, giving this an excessive herbal and grassy character. Poorly put together beer.

GLB draught, 9/19/24. Clear, mahogany with ruby tints. Small, dark beige head, slowly to smattering of cover. Rich chocolate and vanilla. Not too much roast. Seems fairly malty. Clean. Rich and fruity, with a very warm-fermented yeast, albeit not English, with no sign of butter. Just big fruits and gentle roast and chocolate. Med-light body. Good attenuation. Tons of fruity yeast lingering.

5 ounce draft. Aroma of soft grapefruit, peach, yeast. In the flavor the fruit dominates. Peach, mango, and citrus. A little bit of citrus pith bitterness. Well balanced!

16oz can, from the can. Honey and citrus nose, some zippy hop, clean grain. Flavor is not quite true pils based on the grist, soapy and citrusy hop. Finishes clean with a bite.

Pours hazy caramel into an English pint. Off-white head with medium retention pancakes and turns gloppy as it recedes leaving spotty lacing. Sour butterscotch aromas (uh oh). Soft with butterscotch and caramel upfront turning to overripe melon and mild citrus in the medium length finish. Tastes like homebrew.
