On tap at Central Jersey Beer Festival in West Windsor, NJ. Number one with a bullet. Bright yellow gold pour. Light citrus aroma hints at lemon and fresh herbs. Flavor is light biscuity malt, lemon, mint and a hint of coriander. Clean and crisp.

Flight at The Office Tavern & Grill, Summit, New Jersey. Crystal clear amber color with a small off-white head. There's more alcohol flavor than there is brown ale flavor. Reminds me of a Kentucky strong ale. Too boozy. Disappointing.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Hazy pale gold color topped by a pillowy white head. Big tropical fruit aroma hints at passion fruit, mango and melon. Flavor mirrors nose with added notes of bready malt and funky herbs. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Earthy, grassy hop finish is long and pleasing.

16 ounce can. Pale gold color. Brief white head. Light citrus nose. Subtle hints of coconut. Tart wheat flavor has notes of orange and lemon. Crisp, light body. Easy drinking on a warm summer day at the beach.

2021 Bottle from the brewery, 6/22/21. Pours a mostly clear golden color with a rather fizzy bright white head that dissipates quickly down to nothing and leaves no lace on the glass. Funky, tart, and vinous. Nothing too crazy going on here, but it is a pretty nice, well-made beer.

16 ounce can. Slightly hazy yellow gold color. Rocky beige head. Wonderful lacing. Pleasant citrusy hop aroma hints at lemon, lime and passion fruit. Flavor follows nose with added notes of grapefruit, orange and resiny pine. A bit of stickiness on the palate. Long bitter finish and aftertaste.

16 ounce can. Bigely hazed orange gold color. Frothy beige head dissipates to a small creamy cap. Perfumy hop aroma hints at bright citrus, honeysuckle and melon. Bready malt base. Then comes the rush of complex hops. Fresh spring onions, lemon, tangerine, pineapple, mango and ripe pear overwhelm the palate. Sharp bitter finish has resiny notes. Delightful!

16 oz can from the brewery via delivery, 5/5/21. Fully hazed orange color with an off white head. Lots of citrus hops here. Good bit of spice as well. Drinks a little sweet early, and decently dry from mid to close. Solid, but not my favorite mix.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 5/8/21. Pours a fully hazed with a white head. Moderate, drippy lace is left on the glass. Zesty grapefruit and orange seem to dominate most everything else for me. There's underlying notes of white wine grape and mango as well. Booze is noticeable, but coming through more in the 8-9 range feel-wise, so still pretty well hidden for where it clocks in.
