Bottled. Looks and pours like a Guinness, just with a slightly foamier head. Smells and tastes wonderful, like a whiff of Hershey bar hiding a more subtle sloe gin cherry. The texture is a little bit grainy, yet also mellow. Not a harsh note to be found. This is indeed one of the world’s great porters.

Bottle - Sweet cherry malt and hops aroma and amber color with moderate head. Flavor primarily hops and light sour malt. Hops are well-balanced - doesn’t come across too bitter. A re-rate but I didn’t change my opinion too much.

Bottle Pours a a medium slightly hazy pale amber with a very large foamy off-white head. Very faint aromas of grain, yeast and citrusy, floral hops. Flavors are mostly hops but deep and fairly rich malty taste as well. Feel is quite thick and hefty with a soft carbonationAftertaste is smooth and mellow but the hops are what stays up front. An easy drinking IPA

Golden with a large head. Smells hoppy, bready, with hints of flowers. Taste is bitter, hoppy, and soapy- not the greatest IPA I’ve had, but not a snoozer either. Mindblowing mouthfeel.

As i read the description of an american wheat, this beer matches the description. But an american wheat cannot be compared to a belgian or german, it’s just totally different. This american wheat tastes like a pilsener or lager, with some extra wheat notes. So to the beer: clear yellow color, short white head. Aroma of hops, some wheat. Taste is crisp indeed, bit bitter.
