Great vintage, just like I want it. Just enough sweetness but more toasty malt goodness.

Seems sweeter this year, less of a malty bite than last year.

The first can of this four was disappointing, for some reason, the rest were much better. I still didn't get the pineapple I seem to remember, but pretty good. Overall, it just doesn't hit any particular thing strongly enough for me.

Disappointed by this one, tastes almost nothing like my memory or my notes. It's only 30 days old, I would have guessed 4+ months. Maybe improperly handled? Hot truck/warehouse? It's "OK", tastes good to drink. Has some nice grapefruit bitterness but has lost all potent hop qualities and some malt sweetness is coming through. Still a winner in my mind based on what I know it can be, this isn't it.

Pairs nicely with apple crisp.

Drank another one of these somewhere but forgot to record it.

Very heavy on the apple from the Teku glass.

Blows me away, every time. The wrong food pairing can wreck this beer, though. First glass was amazing. After a salad with vinegar mustard dressing, all I could taste was the apples and a little cherry tart and cranberry sour.

When fully chilled, coffee is bitter and maple syrup is barely present. Let it warm a little and it all integrates much better.

It was good. I could have drunk the whole bottle by myself. Not too astringent, excessively effervescent, refreshing. However, also not particularly delicate or nuanced. Felt straightforward, and this is easily accessible, though I saved mine for a few years. It's good.

Slightly out of code but good. Has a nice Scotty Karate bite to it, a little Old Chub dirtyness, avoiding Dirty Bastard territory. And at 8% hits a spot I expect from a 10%er.
