On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Tart apple mango aroma with coconut. Flavor is also tart, sweet apple mango, with coconut rounding it out well. Surprising, frankly.

King Eider from Brewery Faisan

On tap at HopCat Livonia (though labeled as "King Elder" at HopCat). Pours a hazy copper with a white head. Aroma is... freezer burn? I think that's the rye. Light dark fruit. Flavor is kind of odd, rye I guess (again a little freezer burn-like), yeasty, red grape. It's interesting, but I'm just not a fan.

19.2 oz can. Pours a clear golden yellow with a white head. Aroma has guava/passionfruit and orange ctirus hops. Flavor has more grassy hops, but still citrusy and tropical hops. Alcohol is kind of apparent as well. Overall, though, it's pretty nice.

12 oz can. Pours a golden amber, lightly hazy, with a white head. Yeasty, herbal aroma, bubble gum. Flavor is yeasty mixing with biscuit, pear, herbal, maybe a touch of the oak in the finish. Not bad at all.
