Slightly hazy amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, caramel. Taste is light-medium sweet, earthy, some caramel, peach. Finish has medium earthy bite. Medium body.

on tap-pours an off white head and gold color. Aroma is somewhat sweet citrus-grapefruit/spice-some bite. Taste is citrus-grapefruit with some bite, secondary sweet light/medium malt. Light side of medium body.

Draft... Hazy golden ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Decent retention. I’m not able to pull much from the nose other than restrained notes of citrus-grapefruit. The flavor is metallic and almost heavily bitter. Solid malt with a whisper of butterscotch, but hopped to high Hell. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with medium carbonation. Finishes buttery and heavily bitter. True to style, but it’s a train wreck of hops.

Draft. Poured a dark amber with medium rocky white head. Hops aroma with a small hint of citrus. Flavor was a medium hops with a medium sweet finish. Good brew.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 49. This draft brew was enjoyed at the brewery in Saint Augustine Florida. This brew poured a medium sized head of fine to medium sized foamy off-white colored bubbles that left behnd a transparent red brown colored softly carbonated body and a good lace. The aroma was mild with malt and hop notes. The mouthfeel was smooth and tingly. Although mildly hopped for an APA, the flavor contained some caramel and created an earthy and a bit of a woody taste on the back of the tongue.

Draught at 11th Southern Brewers Festival in Chattanooga. Pours copper with a tall creamy light tan head. Fruity floral berry hop aroma dominates with faint malt (meal, grain) notes. Yeasty moderately acidic rind hop and caramel malt flavor that gets quickly overrun by the hops. Medium bodied and creamy palate.

Draft at A1A in St. Augustine. This beer had a small sized white head with fine-medium sized bubbles that mostly dissipated. The body was carbonated and transparent with a orange hue. The nose was hoppy as was the flavor. The mouthfeel was smooth and hoppy and this was a medium bodied beer with good lacing.
