Unique

Started on Ratebeer in 2002. Never a huge ticker but have become more interested in trying smaller sample sizes of more beers lately. Current tasting group meets bi-monthly: tfontana, Airforcehops (CLW) and Chalumeaux, occasionally with AdamChandler and Jow. If you're ever in the MA/NH area, reach out! *Disclaimer* I rate N/A beers on a N/A beer scale. Not a scale vs non-N/A beers. So an 8.5 rating of an N/A beer does not mean I think it is equivalent to an 8.5 real beer.

Canned 12/11/25, drunk 1/16/26, as pictured.
Very light floral aromatics with crushed pineapple, some lychee and other mild tropical fruits. Malts are restrained, adding light cracker, light honey, with no alcohol or resin.
Sweeter and richer than expected based on the nose. But there's a massive charge of rich, juicy pear, guava skin, lychee and tangerine. Really nice avoidance of overdone citrus and typical herb/grape. Malts are certainly rich, could be a touch more dry, but do at least amply balance. Low, but generally ample bitterness. Fairly unique in the world of NEIPA, which is not an easy feat.

Canned 7/22/25, drunk 1/16/26, as pictured.
Rich malt shows loads of honey-like character. Soft, floral and mildly herbal hops behind it are clean and add good balance without going overboard. Exceptionally clean with minor mineral.
Very, very malty. Rich, long honey and sourdough with a bit of strong toast undercurrent. Lingering bitter herbs and strong pepper. Almost a syrupy caramel corn character that detracts from the clean honey and fresh, floral/herbal hops, but otherwise well-done. Not too sweet despite the intense maltiness (though pushing it).

Canned 12/16/25, drunk 1/16/26, as pictured.
Smells rich and fruity with tons of caramel backing it up. Bit of toast, but nothing too bready or sour. The caramelized oat almost smells like marshmallow or even light tootsie roll.
Comes off more traditional in the mouth but you still get that sweet, caramelly-oat-mallow character which is balanced by a pinch of toast, bread and soft, floral and grassy hops. Richly malty and flavorful well, well beyond its size, with a clean, fruity finish with lovely malt and hop tones lingering, as well. This must be otherworldly on cask....
