22 oz. bottle, split with Matts_Property, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, piney & resinous hops, butter and substantial caramel malt backing. Flavour is more subdued on the fruits, with more herbal / hempy hops, some pine and resin, with buttery malts. Beautifully balanced and finishes with herbally hops.

On tap at the brewery. Deep brown with a brown head. Aromas of roasted malt. Some chocolate on the palate but a thin-medium mouthfeel led to a quick fall-off of the flavor.

On tap at the brewery. Chestnut and clear, with a light taupe head. Lots of great malt here and some complex dark fruit. This was easily my favorite beer of the sampler.

On tap at the brewery. This beer has a great aroma and the Cascade is prevalent. Deep amber with some haze and a white, well carbonated head. A nice taste, but the hops are not there as much as hoped and the malt has a bit of a kick midway through the palate.

On tap at the brewery. Pale gold with white head. The malt lends a chewy palate, but i did not get much banana and clove as i would expect for the style.

On tap at the brewery. Black with some garnet around the edges. Beautiful beer, but the accolades stopped there. Some chocolate and roast that just didn’t follow through on the appearance.

On tap at the brewery. Slight burnt aromas. Black with light tan head. Chewy mouthfeel at first led to mid palate that was dry and some roasted coffee. This was a serviceable stout.

On tap at the brewery. The aroma was disjointed as the pomegranate did not work here and maybe clashed with the hibiscus. Pinkish color was hazy. The flavor followed the aroma and caused more confusion than pleasure in the palate.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy light gold color. The apricots are not really noticeable here after slightly showing themselves on the aroma. Very thin and watery mouthfeel.
