Smiths Party.
A- Slightly hazy golden yellow body into a pint glass. Small white head and a creamy ring. A few spots of lace.
S- Not a ton but simple and nice. Herbal and lemon zest hops come to mind with a sweet backbone.
T- Again, nice and clean. Hop forward with lemon zest, citrus and floral herbal notes mostly. Rounded out by a sweet light malt and yeast bread backbone. Banana and clove esters, maybe a yeast influence.
MF- Clean and crisp body witha creamy feel. High carbonation on the tongue. Slight bitter finish.
Interesting with a lot going on. Hoppy, yeasty and a little malt.

Sampled on tap at Wantagh Beverage, served in a plastic cup.
L - hazzed orange color with a off-white head that was very thick.
S - tropical fruit aroma.
T - the taste didn't have as much of the hops I was expecting after the aroma but it wasn't bad by any means.
F - medium bodied with mild carbonation.
O - a decent beer that reminded me slightly of Autumnation without the spices.

Ooh the Mad Scientists Series. I like that.
This one poured copper with small head. Huge grapefruit aroma. Lots of pine too. Got a weird peach aroma as well.
Big full bodied intensity. Syrupmand sugar and fruitnpit.
Double hop intensity upfront.
Finishes with hop curtail in the end and max pain. This one is a winner.

I had this on-tap at Max's. Served in a sample glass.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy amber with some white head that goes away quickly.
Smell: A slight fruitiness along with a malt sweetness. Doesn't smell a whole lot.
Taste: Quite sweet with some strong fruit notes. The bitterness in the finish clashes with the other flavors a little bit.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with tingly carbonation. Slightly chalky in the finish.
Overall: I thought this was an interesting beer, but the fruity notes and the hop bitterness clashed a bit.
