Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a near clear deep gold body that supports a lasting near white head of foam. The aroma offers up a moderate degree of onion to garlic like dank hoppiness with just a sliver of citrus in the background. The taste delivers smooth fairly rich spicy bitter dankness deepened in richness by the body and modest bitter citrus hoppiness. This comes together perfectly. Solid.

32oz crowler pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up a bit of biscuit malts, clementine, grapefruit and tangerine peel. The taste delivers a blend of hops like a bit of juicy orange, bitter grapefruit, thin tangy slightly bitter raspberry sensation and then a sliver of spicy onion like bitterness. This all comes together nicely creating clean depth and a modest chewiness. Well crafted offering.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque dull copper body that has thin golden hued edges and supports a nice light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, guava, honeydew and a thin sense of cantaloupe. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of soft sweet juicy mango, cantaloupe and honeydew as well as more bitter and juicy notes of grapefruit, tangy tangerine and some clementine. Wow. This comes together beautifully with loads going on here and plenty of balance. Another well crafted brew.

Can shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has earthy dank citrus, slightly dry tropical fruits with a bit of sweet grain underlying. Flavor has a nice dank citrus with a bit of onion, tropical fruit and sweet grains backing.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear copper body that supports a firm light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up plenty of pine and then a bit of onion dankness and a flash of citrus. The taste delivers an abundance of bitter hoppiness supported by an adequate malty body. I get firm levels of pine hop bitterness and then a good dose of bitter onion dankness. To midway it picks up a thin citrus note that struggles to be heard in the sea of piny onion bitter hoppiness. Nice old school chewy bitterness.

Sample at Arizona Strong Beer Festival 2019. Black with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of roasted malt, cocoa, nuts and chocolate. Kind of soft and easy to drink.
