On tap at Hopping Pig, San Diego. Dark orange with a white head. Hoppy with grapefruit, malt, some caramel and some hay. The body was medium as was the bitterness.

Some rust and a little citrus. Decent malt backbone. Decent for style like a Canadian tuxedo. Amber pour with decent head. Tap somewhere - old rating.

As nasty as I remember it. Thankfully, I only got a single.

Sample at Daily Growler UA. Hazy yellow-orange color with a medium thin white head that recedes quickly to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of wheat, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of wheat, banana and malt. The finish is fruity with a banana and spice aftertaste. Decent overall.

650 ml bottle shared with Nightfall at his place. Thank you Alex!! Black color with beige brown head. Roasted malty aroma, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, licorice, dark fruits. Very bitter in the beginning, then it becomes sweet and bitter like aroma but much better. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.

Bottle Honey, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet honey, light biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw/grass flavor. Very light body. A bit hoppier than a macro but otherwise not much of an improvement.

12 oz. bottle. Color is a slightly hazy gold, thin lasting head. Aroma corn, rice and some yeast.

Taste is of a massed produced lager. Corn / rice adjunct with a weak (and I mean weak) hop bitterness in the finish. The body is thin and watery, yet not a total waste. Yet, maybe they need to speak to a brewer like Jacks Abby if they want to attempt a highly hopped, well executed hoppy lager.
