Thanks to unclejedi for the bottle. Been wanting to try this one for a very long time since FL sucks and didn’t get these beers. Golden amber pour, no head, just some loosely collected bubbles and foam. At first I get a big whif if skunky, funked hops, but that goes away very quickly. What’s left is pleasing - sweet crystal malts, grains, citrus hops. Flavor could stand to be a bit more concentrated, but it’s not bad by any means. Citrus malty notes and a pleasing bitter kick. Finish is sweet folding into slight bitterness. Very nice, not as good as the Boysenberry but again a bit underrated I think.

Upon the pour from the 12 ounce bottle it displays a clear gold, a creamy white head piles on top of the body, with its eventual demise, the lace forms a velum like coating upon the glass. Nose has delectable malt sweetness, citrus line in its crispness, hops also make an appearance with a flowery tones, start has a rich malt profile, sweet with the hops providing a bit of “Twang” at the back. Finish has a spirited acidity, the hops deliciously spicy, aftertaste dry, and a “marvelous” beer overall.

12 oz bottle. Hazy dark yellow with a nice white head. Smells malty but the taste is more balanced. A clean finish with a little bit of bitterness. Very drinkable.

Pretty drinkable, but not very memorable. Malt, caramel, not much hops. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Not offensive, but nothing I’d write home about.

Bouteille 12 oz, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur dorée et légèrement voilée. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs sucré, de houblon herbeux et floral, de miel et de fruits (abricots sucrés) avec des notes de pain. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et légèrement croustillant ainsi qu’une texture crémeuse aux petites notes sirupeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné d’un goût de levures fruitées (abricots sucrés, notes d’agrumes, traces de raisins) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de biscuits au miel, léger de pain aux notes grillées et de maïs sucré et avec des notes de caramel butterscotch sucré parallèlement à un goût moyennement amer et asséchant de houblon floral et herbeux jusqu’en finale où l’on retrouve également un léger goût de marmelade et des traces d’épices (poivre). Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral et herbeux avec un léger goût fruité (pelures d’abricots, notes de zest d’agrumes) et des petites notes de sucre chimique.
