Roasted malt with chocolate and oats. Silky smooth mouthfeel. Very enjoyable. Thanks again, Tyler!

Gold color. A little cloudy. Lightly sweet. Typical hefeweizen flavors, banana and clove, but the palate is too thin and the flavors are too light, almost like a kristalweizen.

Tap. Pours clear pale orange, large white head, nice lacing. Aroma is very dank, line, melon, hints of cat piss, heavy spruce, juniper. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, hugely pungent, dank. Whoah. Medium light body.

Bottle, thanks to Jimmy. Pours quite murky burgundy, small pink head, decent lacing. Aroma is fresh raspberry jam. Flavor is hella raspberry, hints of tartness, not funky per se, but there is a slight tanginess. More of a fruit beer than a sour, but pretty tasty on its own merits. Best Pearl Street beer I have tried by a wide margin.

12oz bottle. Filtered dulled orange-copper body. Foamy, glass lacing white head. A pretty solid IPA, displays the new varietal in an interesting fashion. Herbal, spicy, hints of hairspray phenolic. Almost there, drinkable, but not really world class stuff at all.

Bottle. Pours a clear light yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly and nearly completely. Aroma has a good amount of sweet apple with a touch of earthy wheat and a hint of tartness. Flavor is more wheat forward with a bit of an apple not underlying.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of grass and pine with some grains underlying. Flavor has a decent amount of citrus with a bit of grass, a hint of pine and a grain backbone.

Bottle: Lightly hazy, pale yellow gold with a white head. Odd, semi-sour, citrus-lactic scent. Taste is grain, lemon, a mild grassy bitter... Bland.... Not much in the way of a traditional pilsner feel here.
