Bitter lemon, some peel. Pours clear golden with good head. A fair amount of tartness in the finish, mostly lemony. Some bitterness. Snally.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a very hazy orange color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was floral notes, some orange, and some fresh, green coffee. Flavor was a bit too much coffee, bitter. Alcohol is way too high for what this is, there's zero reason for this beer to have an ABV in the double digits.

Growler fill from Bottle Caps, Watertown. A low tan head with sustained lacing. Chocolate, cream, coffee and bubblegum on the nose. An appealing, slick and balanced IS. Chocolate, ground nuts, mild coffee and a lactose creaminess all add to the experience. A touch of alcohol warmth, roasted malt and toffee as well.

16 ounce can from Libby’s Liquors. Number one with a bullet. Slightly hazed orange gold color. Pillowy white head is enduring. Aroma brings notes of fresh citrus, peach and passion fruit. Flavor is sweet and juicy. Notes of sweet tangerine, juicy peach and resiny pine. Soft biscuity malt and a bold Galaxy hop bill balance out nicely. A lovely brew. Augie, you’ve done it again!
