On tap at Churchkey. Clear straw color, white head. Pils malt, hay, floral notes, bitter finish.

Grabbed a few Notch offerings this weekend. A “sinple” pale lager that has great depth and is quite the bit of work to bready. Clear gold and large white head. Nose is lovely florals and bread. Tastes of sourdough crust, grass, peppery, floral, touch of grape must. Clean palate and lingering finish with flavors coating the mouth. Really enjoyable brew.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Bready aromas. Soft with sweet mineral and bread upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Draught at Trillium, Roslindale, 2/3/18. Clear, copper-peach. Medium-sized head slowly fades to cover. Smells great! Clean mineral, yellow fruit, not too much sourdough but still clearly-expressed malt depth. Lots of apple is initially a bit odd/off-putting, but it's not acetaldehyde and seems to be just a house property of the mineral-rich yeast. In the mouth it's more apple and light sourdough, with light hop bitterness following. Malty initially, though drying out heavily, to a grainy, almost scratchy, finish. Clean, with no alcohol. Carbonation moderate, mostly engaging. Another, full Lukr pour at Brighton. Yeah, love that heirloom-like yeast but it's just a BIT too dry, borderline scratchy in the malt category, despite the creamy Lukr treatment.
