Aroma has tropical fruits, pineapple juice and hints of biscuits. Feels a bit thin. Flavour has tropical fruits, pineappe juice and hints of cereal. Finishes with minerals, some grassy hops and menthol. Also grapefruit. A bit straightforward and the bitterness starts to feel a bit herbal and harsh at the end of the glass. Refreshing anyway.

Draught. Dark brown with slight reddish tint, large spongy beige head, peanuts and coffee beans aroma, low carbonation, thin body, sweetish raisin-mocha taste with alcohol undertones, longish finish. Quite a nice porter, interestingly complex.

Growler from Joe Canal’s in Lawrenceville, NJ. Amber orange color. Small creamy beige head. Nice lacing. Wonderful tropical fruit malt aroma. Notes of melon, caramel and sweet basil. Toasted malt flavor with ample peppery bitter hops to boot. Fruity notes with bready malt flavors. Very drinkable. Nicely done.

Can. Pours clear orange, medium creamy off-white head, dissipates slowly, solid lacing. Aroma is pretty dank and herbal, cat piss. Flavor is light plus sweet and quite bitter, resinous with a strong IBU kick. Not a lot of tropical here, mostly pine, pot and palate slapping. Medium body, resinous, some finishing heat which is a bit surprising for a sub 8% beer.

Big can @ my parents’ basement, courtesy of arminjewell. Thanks Armin! Pours a hazy yellow orange appearance with a cream colored head. Dry, grainy, herbal nose. Vanilla cake, lemon, green hops in the aroma. A little spritzy. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Chewy and doughy. Spicy and resiny. Very distinctive. Pretty fine.
