7.4/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at Fate South, 12/28/15.
Deep copper-bronze body shows high clarity and a small white head with moderate retention.
Lots of earth, herbs and sweet honeybread in the nose. Fresh, characterful yeast adds plenty of fruitiness with no alcohol or flaws.
Malty, but well-attenuated, with a soft texture, lots of honey, bread and green, leafy, herbal hops. Some minor citrus and a bit of bitterness lends balance, with a fresh house yeast character adding intangible (or more accurately, very difficult to describe), yet enjoyable, qualities. Good stuff and a fun and refreshing style to see at a brewery these days.

7.8/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Draught at Fate South, 12/28/15.
Clear, bright golden body shows good carbonation and a small, white, moderately-well-retained head.
HUGE chile nose is delightfully authentic, tasteful and well-supported by the fresh house yeast and dry, but apparent malt backing. Smells exactly like freshly roasted green hatch chiles and is powerfully sniffable.
Flavor follows, showing little/no heat, as is the case with these chiles. Fleshy, gently roasted pepper character is backed by a zesty, mostly tight carbonation and crisp, grainy malt texture, with appropriate wateriness allowing high drinkability and no flaw or alcohol. Great attenuation, as with all of their beers and good extraction/mashing leading to a malty, enjoyably soft texture.

7/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught at Fate South, 12/28/15.
Glassy, mildly hazy bronze-golden appearance with a small white head showing moderate retention.
Sweet Jesus, this is cold. Whew. This thing practically froze my hands as I put them around the teardrop glass to warm it. A bit annoying, that they serve their beers WAY too cold (especially something like this, which certainly should not be served ice cold). Strange, too, given how good their beers are, that they would overlook something like this, but then, not always easy to plan for serving temperature.
Light passion fruit/guava and a strong dose of lactic acid in the nose. Wheat and light vanilla with a very mild hop nose. Was expecting lots of pine and juicy citrus from the simcoe, but it’s rather relaxed. Bit of breadiness and lots of tanginess.
Not terribly sour in the mouth, with plenty of tropical fruit notes, though also a good deal of dry wheat and bread character. Moderate bitterness, with lemon, lime and white grapefruit. A bit too spongey/bready in the texture with a very vague popcorn character. Slight earthiness, lingering dry citrus and light guava notes. Heavily carbonated, but it’s fairly tight. Good attenuation.

Growler shared during the RBWG 2015 Grand Tasting. Thanks for this one! Pours rich black-brown with a thick, creamy tan head. Huge espresso nose - it’s really quite dominant, and impressive. Medium sweet flavor with rich coffee character, hearty baking cocoa. Medium to full bodied, creamy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, with more strong coffee, espresso, pure cocoa. If you like coffee and bittersweet cocoa, you will love this. Excellent.

Poured up on tap at the Brass Tap in Mesa, AZ where it exhibits a deep dark body that has infrared edges and supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up burnt toffee, dark roasted malts, a faint prune like sweetness and then chocolate mixed with booze at the end of the draw. The taste is bold and rich and deep with chocolate, dark roasted malts, burnt malts and then toasted toffee sweetness. Wow. To midway and then into the finish the boozy heat rises up to join the rich varied malty notes that slip into a rich nectar like quality. Wow wow. The burnt malts and toffee and booze linger well into the after taste. Man, big beer and a wonderful sipper. The first impression I had is this seems somewhat like World Wide Stout.

Tap. Pours clear orange, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is light overall, hints of pine and citrus, caramel and bread. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, hints of simcoe, but this is getting long in the tooth, I think. Medium body, silky mouthfeel.
