Growler, thanks to fishingnet sharing. Poured a medium dark honey color. Very unusual and hard to categorize. Sweet fruity hoppy nose. Flavor was slightly fruity slightly spicy with mild alcohol notes.

Growler courtesy of bvc. Thanks Brandon. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of squash and light sweet pilsner malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with no bitterness. Very different but good.

Difficult to describe this one. The aroma is unassuming, so you don’t expect the interesting flavors you get. I an only describe it as "old" tasting, and I mean that in a good way. I was surprised not to yearn for hops.

Draft @ HOTD. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty aroma with some spicy hints. Sweetish malty fruity spicy flavor. Has a fruity spicy finish.

Draft @ HOTD. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with the slightest green tinge; thin off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. solid amounts of candy sugar, oranges, and general bitterness in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: not a ton of squash flavor here, but instead a very drinkable, well-attenuated candy sugar and dried orange core with plenty of balancing mineral bitterness; really nicely done, balanced ale with lots of candy sugar presence. Medium finish: dried fruits (oranges, esp.), candy sugar, and light lasting bitterness.

Tasted @ Higgins in Portland.
Orange colored brew. Beer fits the Higgins restaurant well. Vergatable, spicy aroma. Malty, spicy, earthy, yeasty and vegetables in the flavor. Interesting brew.
