Draught at 5 Horses, South End, 7/17/18. Peach-apricot colored and cloudy with a small, off-white head fading steadily to a ring. Very malty up front, kind of oddly-so. Pine, grapefruit, bread, sourdough...lots of twang and tang, basically. Malts continue to pile on, giving a borderline oxidized character. In the mouth it's bitter, with resin and sharp pineapple and sweet, cakey, mushy malts. More pine and grapefruit and not a whole lot to find enjoyable here. Thick, rich textures and low, somewhat underwhelming carbonation. 6/4/6/3/11
Draft at the brewery, 12/26/18.
No idea why this was vastly different but it was. Still a fairly thick texture to it, but none of the twang and tang. Maybe this is more aged? Not really sure, probably it's just better brewed, dialed in since last time trying. Pretty understated with still some pine and lime, but no sharp resin or real edge to it, with juicy citrus and light mango-pineapple. Good balance, attenuation, carbonation and a malty texture.

Draught at Picco, 7/2/18.
Lightly hazy, blonde-brass with a white head fading slowly to a ring.
Not overdone on the American hops, showing a good mix of lemon, lime, nectarine and softer herbal qualities with the strong, biscuit-dough-honey malt of Table Beer behind it. Pepper and light green, forest-like notes linger on the finish with tons of fruity ester and no alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, well-aged and shows no punch or tang from the hops, nor any overdone grapefruit, heavy lime or pine character. Mostly yellow fruits, lighter citrus and strong herbs with great peppery phenols and tons of substantial, soft malt. Engaging carbonation and no flaw or alcohol.

Draught at Lulu's, 5/13/18.
Heavily hazy, though not quite soupy. Strawberry blonde-copper body with a small, pink-tinged head that fades steadily to cover.
Cherry notes are light and fruity, soft. Green hop definitely gives an IPA-like feel to it and the vanilla and lactose additions are quite low and not very apparent here, which is fine. With warming/breathing it remains very fruity, growing tart and malic, even with a good dose of citrus and pine from the hops. Not super juicy, yet not resinous either. Lots of cherry-vanilla and marshmallow as it warms with pineapple, nectarine and lime emerging to add more hop depth and take the focus of just citrus and pine.
In the mouth it's soft, dry, fluffy with lots of good fruit juice character from the cherries showing a good mix of tartness and light juiciness. A touch sharp and bitter on the finish yet, however. Continuing on, it's quite dry, with good vanilla notes throughout and a "fun" creamy texture but I still hold that it would be better with honey-like malts in place of the milky-sweet, marshmallow-heavy lactose.

16 oz can shared by Chalumeaux. Aroma shows candied grapefruit, herbal, and pine notes. Flavor is a tad sweeter than I was wanting. Not caramel but... Sweet orange, sweet honey, mild touches of pine. Almost no bitterness. Lean's on the sweet side. Lupulin gives it a chalky, gritty mouthfeel for me. Definitely not my favorite from this brewery but not all bad.

Pours a hazy, bright orange-yellow, with minimal head. Aroma of rotting tropical fruit, sour washcloth, basement dankness. Flavor is tropical and citrus fruit. a slight sweetness but not overpowering, and a touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Just about perfect.

At a tasting, small stable bubbly foamy head, hazy yellow color, aroma of apple, spice and funk, tart funky fruity flavor, light to medium noticable bitterness, quite dry but with a hint of sweetness. Nice and really easy.
