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.

16 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Lately hazy gold in color with a thin Bubbley head. Aroma is late sourdough wheat, mild yogurt, very mild berry. Strawberry is very natural and subtle. Effervescent mouth feel. Very little salt. Not much tartness but still nice.

Pricy 750 ml purchased at 7 Eleven, Kittery Maine. Unclear amber color, no head. Aroma shows me mild grape skin, weak funky least, and aged malt. Flavor has the addition of bread and a light sour, lactic hint in the finish. I enjoyed the barrel aged version much more. This just seems kind of lackluster.
