Description
SweetWater brewery has been makin’ tasty brews in the heart of the south since 1997. What started as a pipe dream of two college buddies has turned into a dream job full of great adventures and lip-smackin’ beers. What would you expect from a couple of boys with more of a hankering for beers than for books.

19.2oz can bought from Luekens Liquor, Seminole. Brownish gold and clear with a thin white head. Light spicy aroma with pine, caramel, a touch of tamarind. Bittersweet in the mouth with fruited fudge, kumquat peel. The bitterness takes over in the long finish, slight metallic sourness in the aroma. Not perfect but pretty damn drinkable and hides the ABV well.

Poured from 355mL can. Hazed orange gold with small white head. Sweet caramel malt, mild pine hops, a touch out of balance in terms of sweetness, but okay.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy dark copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is very sticky, with tons of resinous hops, sticky caramel malt, some candied notes, and a touch of pine. Flavour is sweet and resinous in the hop department, with piney, resins, and sweet caramel. A bit too sweet, but the resinous hop character is nice. Shits all over most hazies at least.

Month old can A: Thickly hazed deep yellow with a short but long lasting frothy head. S: Woody and sugary aroma with low tropical fruit notes. T: Sweet/tart at first with floral and herbal notes following. Woody and sweet ending. M: Full body and soft carbonation with minimal hop burn. O: Tastes like some strong alcoholic kiddie drink. Not my thing.

3 week old can A: Dull deep amber gold with 1/2 of beige foam. Good retention and stringy lace. S: Citrus and tropical fruits, tart berries and light caramel. T: Bitter and sweet at once with woody and caramel malts competing with floral, citrus pith and zest notes. Ultimately a bit malt forward. M: Medium body, crisp carbonation and and clean finish. O: Fairly well balanced though hop flavors are somewhat generic. At least it's stops just short of too sweet.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and light straw coloured body with a soft off-white head, only two centimetres tall at first. Aroma of pretty strong wheat and soft pineapple notes with a bit of a resinous hop scent towards the end from the alpha acids. Medium-bodied; Strong pineapply and wheatie notes dominate with a lot of bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops with a pretty noticeable dryness and light hit of wheat from the malts. Aftertaste is sweet with more of the fresh pineapples here on the finish and a soft bitterness from the hops, but nothing too intense or strong. Overall, a pretty nice and relatively easy-drinking pineappley beer with the requisite hops and pungent bitterness here with a lot of dryness, but enjoyable with seafood, locally. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Hyman's Seafood Restaurant on New Year's Eve 2021 with my family in Charleston, South Carolina on 31-December-2021 for US$6,00.

Single from Ingles. BB 12/03/22. Rare Vos glass @home. Long, oatmeal head. Clear, pale orange & pink body. Smell so metallic hops, ruby red & orange juices. Faintly bitter lager. Toasty, salty with a doughy & minty middle. Middle to end is rindy fruit juice, light & mildly sweet. Feels more like a flavored lager & not enough juice to be a radler. Low carb, goopy body, strong enough. Forgettable to okay.

Medium bitterness, weedy, lemon, biscuity malt. Terpy, yeah, and the malts push on being too much for that.
