Label’s turned up to 10, beer’s turned up to, I don’t know, 6-ish? Mostly a grapefruit beer, with very subtle lacto notes and a mild tequila boost to the finish. Tart but not overly so, the sourness primarily coming across as carbonated grapefruit juice rather than anything Belgian-inspired. Clingy, yeasty finished touched with liquor, but overall the idea’s a lot better than the brew. Pours a pink-tinged gold with a fizzy head that disappears quickly. Grapefruit on the nose, with some tequila as well, more than shows up in the beer. Palate feels slack, not Belgian in the slightest. Eh.

Can from Kroger, Cookeville, Tennessee. Pale golden and quite active in the palate. It’s not overly stated as a pilsner, but not very tasty either.

Can from Kroger, Cookeville, Tennessee. Amber with a small head. Extremely strong tasting, its fruitiness is subdued by this, although is evident.

Can from Kroger, Cookeville, Tennessee. Golden with a small head. Has a strength, but maintains a very good tropical fruitiness and IPA styling, with pineapple offering up some flavour, and grapefruit a citrus bittering.

More like a hoppy wheat (or wit) than a Belgian IPA. Mostly haystack sweetness tinged with bananas and cloves, followed by a floral, soapy bitter finish. Earthy notes pop up on the back end, and the finish stays dry despite the yeast wanting to grow doughy, but dull for the style. Pretty though, a hazed gold with ample white foam and lace.

Seems like a good idea, but the execution’s rather middling, offering up nice Earl Grey notes but tying them to a rather unimpressive pale ale. Crackery malts sit on top of piney hops with the slightest tinge of orange zest, semisweet and somewhat resinous, the hoppy bitterness offsetting the moderate bergamot accents. But the beer side comes across too nondescript to really enjoy, and the tea gets overshadowed by the floral, medicinal finish. Missed opportunity.

Can from the Beer Yard. Dark amber and slightly cloudy, with citrus aroma. Orange peel and grapefruit notes, bittersweet finish. Excellent big IPA.

Bottle shared by Countbeer. Hazy yellow color, small white head. Aroma is very faint, hardly get anything. Flavor is moderately sour, soft unripe fruits, soft citrus. Low carbonation, average body. Ok.

12oz can. Huh. Guess their are a lot of homers in TN. Pale yellow tan body. Frothy white head. Light bodied, highly sessionable. Not really that great of an example of the style, but certainly still drinkable stuff. Not off. Lightly bready, faintly hopped. Delicate. OK.

Can. Slightly hazy gold with some floaters and a tall, white head. Not really lace, but almost looks like clouds stuck to the sides in shapes of camels, Pac man, etc. Spicy yeasty aroma. Spicy, yeasty flavor with some slight funk and a nice hop bitterness.
