16 oz. can. Darker orange in color with thin lasting head. Aroma shows mild herbal pine, spruce, notes of flowers. The flavor has the pine / floral combination with the addition of old apricot and hints of a dried mango. The bready malt comes out as it warms and gets lightly sweet. All things considered, pretty well done IPA at a 5.5%. It has a "classic" feel to it.

16 oz. can. Deep brown in color with a ton of particles suspended in the liquid. Really ugly looking. Aroma and flavor are mild citrus in the background of roasted grain and mild coffee grounds. Bitterness is pine in origin and at medium in strength. Looks damn ugly but it tastes good.

Tap at EBF, Boston. Color is brown with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Chocolate, some fruits and malts. Fresh brown ale but I don't get these extra ingredients.

Can from Craft Beer Cellar, Washington DC. Deep copper in colour, with a decently-sized, off-white, head. Leafy hops, sweet, heavy, malts, and hint of ginger in the boozy finish. Good

12oz can from somewhere. Oh, Bert's Bottle Shop. Saved a few bucks by making a sizer. This is particularly important because PA is such an overpriced beer state. This has been in my fridge for weeks. Then it sat on my counter for hours. So, to my surprise, this was a can gusher. Not too bad for opening but horrible for pouring. Poured this into Coney Island Brewing glass mug, sooooo much head. Shit... how much time has passed. I don't think I'm into this as much. Easy drinking but full of flavor including roast, watery buckwheat and some hay.

Bottle purchased at One Stop Market awhile back. Stupid yellow wax coating took about 10 minutes to peel off. Aroma is sour pineapple juice, funky yeast, and maybe a hint of a hop. The Brett is starting to eat everything in this brew. However, the pineapple still exists. Hops are about gone but it does show a slight bitter hint after the sour pucker. Honestly, I wish I had opened this sooner and that is my fault, not the brewery. If you have a bottle, I say open soon before it turns into all Brettanomyces.

Tall-boy can from AFH. Thanks d00d! enjoyed in a small flower pot snifter. It's a cloudy orange red. smells like pepper, cinnamon and mango. very spicy, berries, sort of a raw, intense aged grain like fermented grain flavor at the end, slightly stale? Herbs, pepper spice. decent.

16 oz. can from Spruce Creek Provisions. I thought this was just a Wet hop pale ale, not knowing the adjuncts. Was surprised indeed! Aroma shows me Nugget hops (citrus), cinnamon, grain. Flavor is a carbon copy. Interesting to make a pumpkin brew without the gourd. I was nicely surprised by this.

Pours slightly hazed dark gold into a shaker. Off white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sourdough and resin aromas. Soft with fruit loops and sourdough upfront turning to a dry resin finish.
