Pint can pours with a clear copper to amber body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up caramel matls, faint biscuit and then a sliver of fruity esters. The taste delivers a blend of caramel malts, a thin slice of dark bread and sweet prune esters. This comes together nicely.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque copper gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers a blend of grapefruit, tangelo, cantaloupe, mango and guava with a faint oat sensation at the edge of the experience. The taste delivers smooth soft juicy cantaloupe, mango and guava as well as hoppy bitter spikes of grapefruit and lemon. This comes across balanced and flavorful and crushable. Wow. I just might need more.

Tall boi can at home. Murky yellow orange appearance with a cream colored head. A little chewy in the mouth. Low sweetness, low bitterness... what more can you ask for? Orange citrus, grapefruit, and peach flavors. Very lightly herbal. Not overwhelmingly flavorful but what’s there is super easy to drink. Solid.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Tart ripe strawberry, little tart lemon. Nice light savoury vibe goes well. Finishes light and dry with a touch of strawberry sherbet. Good.
