12 ounce can courtesy of Travlr. Thanks! Pours a very dark brown color with a large foamy brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of big roast and chocolate notes, some nuts, caramel and citrus hops. The taste is roast, chocolate, a briny note, mild hops. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness, low carbonation. Nice beer, a little different, but quite nice.

12 ounce can courtesy of Travlr. Thanks! Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized fizzy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of tropical, citrus hops and caramel malt. The taste is bitter citrus, tropical and pine hops, pale malt and a mild bit of caramel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, fairly strong lingering bitterness, mildly off balance.

At GBBF 2014. Hazy gold lasting white head. Grapefruit aroma. Lovely fresh hop and fruit. No great bitterness but fun none the less. Good.

12 oz can. Pours a hazy light Amber, small white head that dissipates quickly, no lacing. Weak aroma of sweet caramel and fruity hops, slightly too malty flavor, watery short finish.

Can by myself at the cabin in NH. Pours clear gold with a moderate, foamy white head. The nose has a bit of pine, some bread, dry orange. Medium sweet flavor with simple, moderately bready malts, bitter pine and dirt, some rindy citrus notes. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, some faint astringent pine, more bread, citrus rind. Fair.

Can thanks to Travlr: Poured a hazy yellow to golden with white head. Aroma was light citrus hops. Taste was gritty citrus hops, but not harsh. Very refreshing and drinkable.

Draught at Oasis, 4/27/14
Dark ebony body is near opaque with a tan head atop that sits at cover.
Light roasted tinges dot the chocolatey-fudgey landscape while some vanilla and fresh, juicy green hops are moderately done and aromatic. Deeper, more dry, earthy coffee notes are noted on the backend and overall the aroma strength is fairly low. What is there is pleasant and there are no overt flaws or alcohol.
Pretty stiff crunchy coffee, bitter roast and lightly bitter hops all jump right in the mouth, as light vanilla-fudge sweetness seeks to bring things to balance. I’m not sure that it does, though what it leaves behind is a very, very dry, rather roasty example of the style with moderate carbonation and more apparent wateriness with the relative lack of sugars/body. It’s not weak in body by any means, but for how easily it drinks based on the texture, it’s certainly very roasty and challenging in that sense. Acidity from the roast and to a less extent, the hops, builds up on the finish. Certainly not a session beer here....Light licorice, coffee and earthy, crunchy black malts linger on....
