Can (8/30/25) shared by Matt. Clear, pale yellow, nice head with good retention, light lacing. Aroma is subtle pale malt, grain, earthy element--a bit glue-like. Taste is corn and a cross between cheap champagne and Budweiser. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, crisp finish as taste. An easily crushable brew--pretty subtle and on the macro side. Love the sentiment to use Kernza but wish they had done more with it.

Can from the brewery in Tewksbury. Opaque orange juice with decent head, good retention and nice lacing. Aroma and flavor are a mirror image with strong orange and vanilla. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Absolutely nails the orange Creamsicle. Not hugely complex but spot on.

Can (10/24/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, milky light brown-dark yellow, tons of sparkle, large head with excellent retention and nice soapy webs of lacing. Aroma is strong orange/tangerine, mango, background mild dank vegetal, and I get the watermelon quality mentioned by Clark! Taste is super watermelon, mango, less identifiable citrus than aroma, background bread crust, cracker and honey. Smooth texture, silky soft carbonation, dry, biscuit-y, yeasty finish with mild bitterness. Really, really well done! Enjoyable on all levels!

Can from Liquor Junction, Reading. Deeply hazy gold, tons of sparkle, thin fizzy head after aggressive pour, good retention, copious soapy lacing. Aroma is more chai than winter spice--but they are almost interchangeable--over mellow background ale. Taste resembles aroma but allspice more prevalent than cinnamon/vanilla. Smooth texture, average carbonation, dry finish as taste. Not as complex as the chais I like. Too much allspice/winter warmer here. Decent but don't love it.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Lightly hazy gold with nice sparkle, thin head with excellent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is subtle pine and citrus. Taste is slightly stronger version of aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and mild finish as taste. A competent, if understated, aroma and flavor. For what it's worth, look and mouthfeel are exceptional.
