650 ml bottle
Thanks to cbfobes for sending this is in a trade. The Central Waters version was also good. That said I am not sure about trying the rest. By now they are probably beginning to fade. Maybe if this makes an appearance at the Great Taste of the Midwest I’ll get another sample.
Aroma / Appearance - The bronze transparent base radiates warmth. Bright floral hops and resin are the base for a tropical tone set by fresh mango. This almost smells in some ways like a bottle of fresh Dreadnaught.
Flavor / Palate - Pineapples, rose hips, and a pleasant bitterness drive a top notch beer. Whatever the style I already miss its peachy finish. Laid back and relaxed it is perfect for chilling at home on a quiet evening.

Bottle at thirdeye11’s birthday party. Yellow with a white head. The aroma ha a lot of biscuit malt in it, as well as a hint of hop character. The flavor has some grassy hop notes and a bit of citrus, but the biscuit malt really comes through. Not bad, but not great.

3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This beer pours smoothly and has a nice white cloudy head. There is a moderate haze to the beer and the color is a dark amber in color. The taste is sweet and you can taste the grains used in the brewing process. I was expecting this beer to be somewhat bitter since they include the name hop in the name and show a hop flower on the label but this beer was not bitter at all.
If you want to clean your palate this would be a good choice.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy deep orange/amber. Medium average head with little retention. Bready malt aromas are present along with an earthy hoppiness. Slightly sweet and grainy; it’s what I would except from a lager. The grassy wet hops are noticeable, but left me wanting more.
