Can from the Packie Lightly hazy dark yellow color with a good sized bubbly white head that slowly recedes. Huge bubblegum nose and flavor. Bready light honey maltiness with mild spice and some earthy hop and yeasty phenol's to counter. Very nicely made.

5 oz. draft. Aroma is mostly tropical hints. Flavor shows citrus, mango-ish, herbs. Bitterness is soft herbs and helps cut the sweet fruit. Balance is nice. Above average for sure.

Can from the Packie. Hazy dark brown in color with a decent sized off white head with moderate retention. Rich toffee and caramel with bits of prune raisin and dried cherries. Earthy hops to counter, oak tannin and a solid shot of warming alcohol. Great sipper!

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Citrus and pine aromas. Medium bodied with caramel, tropical fruit and sourdough upfront turning to pine and pith in the medium length finish. Throwback west coast done well.

Can (1/24/18) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is opaque black with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-plus width light brown fizzy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon over roasted malt and dark fruit with mild plastic (resolves as it warms) and chocolate. Taste is strong bourbon (with a bit of isopropyl alcohol, too), toffee, dark fruit and lesser roasted malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick, slippery texture, fair alcohol warmth, soft carbonation and dry, roasted malt finish with lingering moderate bitterness. Overall, the bourbon is still alive and well almost 3 years in! There's a slightly offputting synthetic/industrial element that detracts from the rest of the aroma and taste. Nice elements otherwise.
