Can (11/11/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, milky banana smoothie yellow with decent head and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, orange; chalky, tropical fruit Smarties; pineapple. Taste is strong stone fruit, citrus, biscuit. Smooth, creamy, thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation, a sip with hint of alcohol but vanishes, dry, mostly malty finish with light bitterness to offset the hops. Not a TH standout but a good beer nonetheless.

Can from Eddy's Beverage, Inc., Saratoga Springs. Opaque root beer brown with ephemeral thin head, light sparkle and viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is strong birch beer, root beer, vanilla. Taste is strong birch beer, commingled with base roasted malt, late sarsaparilla and mild vanilla. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. More birch beer than root beer but that may be splitting hairs. They basically got what they were going for. The roasted malt didn't mesh perfectly with the root/birch beer but finds its way. Only need to have one--kind of gimmicky, but enjoyable.

Can (11/11/25) from the brewery in Tewksbury. Opaque, turbid light brown with tons of sparkle, nice head with good retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is strong, sharp citrus, lighter berry, hint of vanilla, ample maple. Taste is strong vanilla, maple, orange, citrus and late hint of berry. Smooth texture, medium bodied, average carbonation, mild alcohol heat, sweet finish as taste with yeast and very late light bitterness. Like an Orange Julius with a shot of maple syrup and some berries. Strange but oddly good!

Can (10/22/25) from Steve. Opaque, milky yellow banana smoothie, nice sparkle, thin head with poor retention and nice, soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus, grape and stone fruit over substantial bread. Taste is strong stone fruit, grape, milder melon and citrus, and equally strong bread. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, hoppy/malty mix finish as taste. First sip had some alcohol heat but then nothing. Quite a meal. I prefer it to Haze.

Can from Steve. Opaque, dark brown, nice sparkle, thick head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is light chocolate malt, faint coconut, hint of fruit, and late vanilla. Taste is strong vanilla, faint coconut, light cocoa. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, mostly vanilla finish. Plenty of vanilla. Wish I could say the same for the coconut.

Can (not entirely full) from Steve. Deeply hazy cola brown, orange-ish tinge, tons of sparkle, thin head fading to a ring, trace lacing. Aroma is strong toasted earthy malt, toffee, cocoa. Taste follows aroma with hint of fruit. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, toasted malt finish. Pretty decent first exposure to this brewer!
