Bottle from unclemattie; nose smells like alfalfa and hops;, mixed with a tiny apricot fruitiness, unique hoppiness in the nose from other IPAs I’ve had. Color was amber with a small white head; flavor was sweet (fruity) hoppiness (akin to Moylan’s Hopsickle) in a sticky mouthfeel body, and a mild hop bitterness for the finish. Excellent!

Bottle courtesy of Mr_Kimchee: Poured a deep amber color ale with a medium slightly off-white foamy head with average retention. Aroma of hops is well balance with some caramel malt. Taste of caramel malt with a slightly bitter and citrus finish. Well done for the style but nothing extraordinary either. Re-rate 2022: Drank better then I remembered. Good mix of resinous and piney hops notes with some light bitterness. Good old school APA.

Bottle courtesy of Mr_Kimchee: Poured a dark black color beer with a medium off-white foamy head with average retention. Aroma of dry roasted malt with some faint spices. Taste is dominated by roasted malt with a very dry finish. I could not detect very much spice presence overall though and was surprised by the fact that this is classified as spiced beer since I honestly though it was a porter.

This beer came to me from my beer club and I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a copper color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The flavor is sweet fruity hops with an undertone reminiscent of fruit cocktail. The beer is moderately thick and sweet yet it still lacks a bit of a malt presence given the strength and complexity of the hops.

This beer came to me in my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma is light roasty malts and a hint of chocolate. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. The flavor is bitter and tangy with light roasted malts and a light chocolate element on the finish.

Bottle. Sour wheat, ripe banana, and coriander aroma. Cloudy light yellow color with small head. Orange peel, lemon, clove/coriander, and wheat flavor -very dry. An extremely well made beer - a great choice for those that don’t like any sweetness in beer - probably one of the least sweet wheat beers I’ve ever had.
