Can (12/9/25) shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Lightly turbid, almost apple cider-y, light brown, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong cooking herb, matchstick, over caramel, light berry. Taste is strong herb and citrus over caramel, orchard fruit. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with dry, mild bitterness. More than your average red IPA--good complexity and pretty good!

Bottle shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Opaque black with persistent ring of head, no lacing, light viscosity. Aroma is balanced strong base stout and rum. Taste is less balanced, more heavy stout over rum. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Not earth shattering but solid.

12/9/25 aroma is citrus, fragrant hops. Taste follows, crisp, smooth, clean. Really nice.

Brewery draught, 10/26/25.
As pictured.
Classic NE flavors with zesty lime and fruit salad. More classic grapefruit and pineapple with biscuity malt and lingering pine.
Soft and rich, quite sweet. Maybe a bit too "fluffy". Lots of limey fruit salad from Motueka but not enough bitterness. Borderline caramel character. Too sweet.

Brewery draught, 10/26/25.
As pictured.
Leafy, earthy, peppery hop with mild citrus and mild, but aromatic pine. Light but ample malts with no big toast or anything like that.
Soft, malty, spicy, piney and citrusy but with low bitterness for the WC style and no resin. Flavorful and spicy. Maybe a bit burly, bready, malty, but the flavors are certainly there.

BIG fruity yeast and such. Amplified but not distracted or dominated by adjunct. Rich malts and generous oak lingering.
Soft, juicy, oaky and richly malted. Comforting texture drying out on the finish with good tartness but no huge sourness. Never get distinct cinnamon which is wonderful. Oak and malt with fruity Brett and mild lacto. Nice and round and well-aged.
