Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and decent lacing. Starts with guava, strawberry and grassy hops flavors. Finishes dank and dry with herbal hop, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Quite delightful.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Cloudy golden pour, creamy white head. Biscuity, bready aroma with light fruity notes. Taste brings in some mild hoppy notes, muted citrus and more of the pale malts. Slightly mouth coating with a little bit of a buzz lingering

Can pours with a modestly murky pale gold colored body that supports a firm, near tight, off white head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting grapefruit, tangerine and orange peel like notes as well as a sense of lime here and there too. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of citrus hop flavor and citrus hop bitterness that attains plenty of richness to buoy up this crisp clean body. Yeah, it has a mix of grapefruit, lime, tangerine and orange zest that go well together. It ends nice and dry and crisp with minimal sweetness. Loving this.

On tap at Chuck’s Greenwood, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is complex and deep, with apple brandy, generic spirit, light bourbon, and dark sugars. Flavour is intense and complex, with huge apple brandy barrel, bitters (from the Nocino), some roast, liqueur, and dark fruits. Not sweet at all, just really nicely barreled. Complex and well-rounded. Excellent.
