If we could only make (or drink) one beer for the rest of our life - this would be the one. The Cottage is delicate and soft with a touch of malt sweetness.

Pour at de Garde 10th Anniversary. Golden pour, light cloudy body, small frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, cereal, light hops. Taste is a nice full bready delight, mild sweetness finishing with a crisp bite.

Burk från Fox Farm. Lätt disig ljus halmgul med vit krona. Blommigt, klorofyll, knäckebröd, lätt mineralig, lite brödig fyllighet med hög beska. Kanske något hög beska för en helles, men som öl betraktat kanongott.

Publick House draught, 8/2/22. Clear, bright brass-bronze with a medium-sized, well-retained, white head. Malty, bright nose with honey, white bread, biscuit and very nicely spicy, herbal hops. Clean, with light minerality. Minimal smoke detected in the nose. Soft and malty, great attenuation with wonderful depth of malt adding honey, light sourdough and biscuit. Smoke comes on late and very gently, probably even less smokey than Schlenkerla helles. Spicy hops balance well without being overdone. Light minerality on the finish. Clean.

Pours a hazy amber with a small oily head. Aroma of herbs, barley, cereals. Taste has more cereal, light mellifluous note. Palate has some grassy elements, grainy, soft finish with some oily resin lingering. Good.

Pours clear bright gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Cracked malt and fresh sourdough aromas. Soft with sour lemon, underripe pear and lime peel upfront turning to mild marshmallow in the lasting earthy finish. Hmm...
