Pours murky mango into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Mango, pineapple and passion fruit aromas. Soft with earthy citrus, overripe melon and hot caramel upfront turning to pith and peel in the dry, lasting finish. Nice.

Can (2/3/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie--thanks, John! It'a an opaque light brown-dark yellow with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger frothy foam off-white head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is musty herb, mild fruit and bread. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with dry lingering yeast and mild bitterness. Overall, while within its first 90 days, judging by the review below it tastes different at day 10 than day 80 so there must be appreciable hop falloff. Will have to look out for a fresher can at some point.

Canned 10/22/19. Aroma is bold pineapple, guava and light citrus. The flavor is bright with fruits; pineapple, citrus peel, guava like. Texture is very juicy and absolutely no bitterness. This the example of a “ juice bomb “. Easily the best thing I’ve had from this brewery.

16 oz. can. Aroma is floral, grassy with faint hints of spruce. Taste is medium sweet, medium to moderately bitter. It shows a good amount of balance with grass and fruit bitterness. Alcohol is covered. Pretty refreshing.

Pitch black appearance. Aroma of chocolate, roast, I don’t find a barrel. The oak barrel is noticed in the flavor. Shows a soft bitter chocolate near the finish. Medium body for a porter.
