Shaker pint draft at the brewpub in Bellingham, Washington. Pour is perfectly clear golden yellow with a one inch pure white head. There are a bunch of effervescent bubbles rising to the surface throughout the beer. Aroma is mildly sweet maltiness, with grass and mineral earthiness. Taste is a perfect combination of the mild sweetness, grassy hay and mineral. Soft, super and fresh, perfectly clean, delicious. Palate is medium to thin bodied, active carbonation - clean and dry in the finish. Crazy drinkable, really nice stuff.

Medium chestnut colour. Light but toast-accented aroma. Very earthy, caramelly, toasty with accents of nuts. Still a bit thin, like many of their other lagers. Needs oomph.

Dark brown. The aroma is largely caramelly with light chocolate notes. Mix of caramel and chocolate on the palate. The body is a bit thin. Like a supermarket schwarzbier.

Bright copper colour (like a shiny penny). It has that tinny, vaguely caramelly "Am Dark" nose. Decent body but there remains that caramelly metallic taste that is too simple for such a beer.

Golden-straw colour. Slightly herbal aroma, but fairly light by pilsner standards. Creamy, grainy bready malts are well balanced with earthy and slightly spicy hops.

Bright straw with a limited head. Vague, slightly grainy character. Very soft with bready malts, herbal notes and fresh cracked grains. Ok, not the most helles example of a helles I’ve had.

Golden amber. Very pretty. Fully caramelly character with chocolate malt accents. Nice malt complexity. Good beer - can’t wait to visit the brewpub.

On Tap at the BP. Clear golden light amber, witha small trace of a light tan head. Light grain and soft citrusy hops. Very mild Pale ale with lovely balanced flavors and bitterness. I prefer the west coast American Pales but this is a nice medly of all the flavor componanats. Normaly I would call this kind of taste boring uninteresting, but for some reason this just seems nice and well done. cant put my finger on it though.

On tap at the BP. Clear deep mahogany, with a lasting fine off white head. Faint, light malty aroma with notes of soft roasted grains. Flavor is sweet woody, toasted malts. Nice soft hints of toasty roasty malts.
