Thanks to the Tampa Crew for Sharing! "Twigs & Berries" Hazy amber pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma is light cedar and lots of juniper. Flavor is pine, grapefruit rind, light caramel and cedar. The juniper berries add a nice spicy undertone

ON tap @ Brass Tap. Pours a hazy light copper. Nose is BIG cedar, loads of spice, hints of sweet fruit, big citrus, floral and sticky pine hops. Flavor is full of spicy cedar, grapefruit, pine, caramel, gin. Excellent.

On tap at the Brass Tap. Pours up deep gold with copper core, off white head and straight up sheet lacing coating every square millimeter of the interior glass surface area. The aroma is huge – knock you on your keyster cedar and then planks of wood, some herbaliness, some floral hoppy like notes, a resiny spice note and then sweet citrus hops off in the background. The taste has enough big pine and citrus hops to keep up with the cedar onslaught and herbal shrubbery spicy juniper notes. Amongst all the hops and cedar some modest malt sweetness surfaces from time to time. Smooth luscious body on this one too. I guess the juniper really pulls cedar forward or something. Very cedar-y beer.
