Bottle from Sam’s. Cloudy amber with a thick yellow white head. Nose is cat piss, lemon, granny smith apples, mint, other herbs and spices, . Kinda creamy, mouthfeel, heavier than expected. Flavor is light banana, graham cracker, pineapple. Weird combination of flavors that’s a tad messy. KInd of a chalky, lightly bitter mouthfeel. Weird beer. Tastes kind of numb if that makes any sense.

Growler fill from 9th Ave Vintner. Pours into goblet a rusty red bordering on brown. Not a lot of head. Aroma is sugary maple syrup. Palate is noticeably sweet with decent carbonation in the mouthfeel. Earthy, spicy and vegetable notes and major malty notes. Grainy early on. Still a very light mouthfeel and very much winter. Decent.

A straight ahead amber on tap at MacGregors. There is really nothing I can say about this. It was amber. Palate has a bit of a cola flavor, boring but drinkable.
