12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head that faded to a film after a couple of sips. Kind of funky aroma of dried grass and sour candy. The flavor is super bitter grapefruit rind with dried grass overtones. Very dry, bitter finish. Watery, thin mouthfeel. I unfortunately bought and shipped a bottle of this to my SS before sampling it, and I apologize. Thankfully, I sent other stuff I know he’ll enjoy.

Bottle. Clear orange-gold with a medium head that lasts. Earthy, sourish grain, and honey aroma. Grainy, sour apple and honeycomb front is bittered nicely by some Fuggles(?) that turn the taste to a crisp fruity, wood, and nut finish. Nice, fresh pussy aftertaste is the best part of this beer, but go for the real thing. Palate is light medium, dry, and a bit too fizzy.

Bottle (12oz). Clear, farily deep amber pour, smallish fizzy white head. IPA? Maybe some grassy, light dry dead resin bitterness, hint of vegetal malt, a little sugary. The taste is some better - light funk joins the weedy stale hop bitterness, no vegetal malt, but it is a bit sugary. Watery, somewhat still mouthfeel, a little acrid, but mostly it’s a big glass of nothing much - a vaguely UK-style IPA that’s too weak to stand up for itself.

darkish - cloudy amber color - aroma is citrusy with a hint of spice and roasted malt. Flavor is a little sweet, but with a lingering bitter finish. Not bad, but it just didn’t come together for me.

Poured a slightly cloudy copper yellow with hardly a head. Slight hop aroma with a hint of citrus. Nice crisp hop bite with a long slightly bitter finish in the back of the throat that mellowed for awhile. A nice refreshing beer, worth a try

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Copper color with small beige head.Mildy hopped with light spice flavor. Thinner body. That’s all I remember about this beer, nothing special here.

12oz bottle-pours an off white head and copper color with effervescence. Aroma is mild medium fruit, some spice. Taste is medium fruit, some spice/earthy/wood-hops-peppery, medium malt-a bit of molasses. Occasional. OK carbonation.
