Can at Paragon, 5/30/24. Hazy orange color, off white head, drippy and streaky lace. Super smooth. Grapefruit, watermelon, lemon, and some light garlic. Bit of pine as well. Nicely dry on the finish. Very smooth. Tasty beer. 8/4/9/4/17

Notes from 12/23/13 Nitro-d growler. Always iffy with that. No in-store consumption what now? Inky black body. Chocolate head. 40 minutes from home, already losing it's grip on the nitro. Smell is charred toast, with a buttery cocoa powder thing going on. Just a twinge of coffee. Peanuty, subtle wafer sweetness, but lingering citrusy bitterness. moderate acidity. Closer to a dry stout then anything. Calcium & saline finish. Carbonation was quietly leaving out the side entrance. Started off at about an average, prickly fizz, & ended at just a trickle above flat, all in about 2 hours. Damn, now I'm searching the fridge for something sweet. Grrr...

Draft at Maloney's, 5/21/24. Unclear orange, beige head, heavy lacework. Malt, honey, and citrus. Bread and grain. Bit odd toward the finish. Okay, but not totally working for me. 7/4/6/3/13

Draft, taster, at Paragon, 3/28/24. Clear gold. So incredibly sweet. Full of maple and vanilla. Not my thing. Small pours only on this one for me. 6/4/5/2/11

Draft at Paragon, 5/16/24. Fully hazy pour, yellowish-orange color, white head. Boat load of candied peach, with apricot, orange, mango, some pineapple. Leans sweet, juicy, and full of flavor. Stears clear of cloying. Smooth, easy drinking. This beer is candied peach in yo face!

Draught @ Milk & Hops, Manhattan (Apr 2024). Lightly cloudy golden with a large foamy whitish head, malt aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter lightly citrusy malt taste with very little grassy hops, thin body, longish finish. Refreshing.
