$1.00 Trader Joe's Bottle. Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma is very floral and perfumey, but mixed with a weird caramel that makes it less pleasing. Flavor is stale hops, perfumey flowers, burnt caramel, lemon zest, bread. Worth a buck.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Trader Joe's. Appearance is clear dark brown/mahogany with trace sparkle, 1/2-finger width fizzy off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, vanilla. Taste is roasted, slightly burnt, malts with mild vanilla. Palate is medium bodied with thick, smooth texture but the whole drinking experience is dominated by an overly-carbonated fizzy level with sweet, caramel finish. Overall, carbonation dominates the experience though not high marks to begin with. Skippable.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Trader Joe's, Nashua. Appearance is clear amber with tons of sparkle, finger-width creamy head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is dank basement, bread, floral. Taste is bread, slightly nutty, dank earth with hint of fruit. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and dry, crisp finish without much flavor. Overall, more malt forward than hops. To be fair, this is slightly outside the range for hops freshness (born 8/30/17) but based on other reviews this may just be a slightly odd IPA.

Bought in NH. Clear gold pour with an off-white head and fair retention. No lacing. Light lager body with a light blueberry flavor. Semi-flat mouthfeel. Everything is subdued. Easy drinking. Unremarkable but refreshing.

Draught @ the source. Clear brown with slightly reddish tint, very small frothy beige head, sweetish caramel malt aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter caramel/roasted malt taste, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Not very enticing.

$1.00 bottle from Trader Joe’s. Instant blueberry aroma, somewhat candied. Golden, almost no head. Dust and light sweat in aroma too. Flavor is blueberry, somewhat sweet, dry cracker, wheat. It’s OK.

$1.00 bottle from Trader Joe’s, Charlottesville. Pours clear dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of cocoa powder, maybe some coffee. Flavor is strangely sweet up front and really bitter on the back end. Roasted nuts, coffee, some cocoa, and caramel. Odd.
