On tap at Swiftwater Brewing in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a hazy murky brown-ish orange- some seriously ugly beer here. There's a small head, and lots of lacing.

This is hopped with an unusual combo of hops (Denali, Huell Melon, Equinox) so it's got an unusual aroma to it- I get burnt cedar wood, super resinous pine, grapefruit rind, and rotten mango. Odd, but kind of nice?

I get a weird grainy fruitiness from this- the menu marks it as "Fruit Loops" and I do kind of get that. It's gummy, and sweet, and fruity. There's definitely some weirdness from the Equinox hops- I get some cedar and wood shavings. This hop makes the beer very, very earthy, with a puzzling bitterness on the finish. It's really hard for me to describe this beer- it's good, I guess- but just so weird.

This has a thick, protein-enhanced mouthfeel to it, with a good level of carbonation.

This is super weird, but it definitely has a unique profile, so that has to be praised. I probably wouldn't get it again, but I'm glad to have tried it.
