Draft at Maloney’s. Poured a slightly hazy gold/orange with a large fluffy bright white head. Aroma of wet bread and metal. Perfect carbonation on a medium body with a slight creamy feel. Flavor is like the aroma with wet bread and copper. Bleh, Big Little kicks this beers ass.

Draught at Carrboro Beverage Company. Thanks for the large sample! This is my kind of beer. A light, hoppy, belgian pale ale. I could drink this all day. Earthy, nice bitterness, good stuff.

On tap at Monks. Poured a cloudy yellow golden color. Head was a medium white shade with some good rings of lacing after each sip. Aromas of apples, wheat grains, lemon saison notes, orange peel, and some kind of spice if you really dig your nose in. Taste was on the bland side for me, and it wasnt carb’d enough as well. I wish more of the hops came through in the flavor also. Alright beer, Thing 2 was much better

Orange flesh and lemon zest aroma. Cloudy yellow, medium head, good lacing. Dry lemon zest flavor, but sweeter toward the end. Light bodied and well hopped. Pretty simple, but tasty. I would have never guessed Allagash made it as it doesn’t taste remotely like anything else they make.

Draft at Max’s. Hazy orange-yellow pour. Thin white head. Crisp cereal aroma. Light sweetness with nutty flavor. Lemon-herb notes. Minty with a dry bitter finish. Really easy to drink.

hazy gold, frothy white head, rings of lace. Nose is dry wheat and white pepper, softly eggy with some heavy citrus. Flavor holds more egg and citrus early, toasted grains across mid before dropping out for singular citrus-bitter grain contrast in finish. Light and dry but the end tells the un-rounded tale.

Draft. Cloudy yellow color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of dusty lemons. Taste is similar with pink grapefruit.

Lovely floral and herbal hop nose with light cracker malt. Taste is very dry tons of hops, rather bitter, crisp malt, light lemon and grass, some hay and dusty yeast. Very nice.

Tap at Max’s. Pours lightly hazy gold with a medium, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is biscuit and straw malt, earthy and grassy hops with fruity esters. Flavor is malt forward with medium hops and bitterness and a dry finish. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.

#1163 draught; nose is semisweet flowers, medium piss, green apple acid, feel is watery, carb is mediumweak, taste follows nose with cereal, and a decent dry hops finish
