Draft at the Brewpub: Pours a golden straw color with a light haze. Moderate white head, but no real lacing. Faint aroma of malt, kind of sweet. The taste is wheaty, malt, and maybe caramel. Very smooth, yet I have to drop my overall rating because my wife liked it.

Draft at the Brewpub: Pours a hazy orange color with a large white head and thick lacing. Nose is mild hops, citrus and sweet bitterness. The taste is flowery and citrus oriented with caramel and malts. A little mild in flavor intensity and wetter feeling than I like my IPA’s.

Draft at the Brewpub: Deep brown with some reddish tones. Medium sized tan head and thick lacing. Nose is lagerish with hints of caramel and dark fruits. Taste is heavy on the malt side with prunes, raison, caramel, and an overall sweet/malty sensation.

Draft at the Brewpub: Pours orange with a smaller white head and good lacing. Nose is sweet and fruity, citrus and malt. Taste is consistent with the aroma and adds a caramel and malty note. Very light bitters. One of the better maibocks sampled this season.

Draught pint at alehouse. Not much aroma here, perhaps it was served too cold. Blah at first, improved as the pint warmed. I tasted the barrel more than I did the beer. Excellent oaky, coffee tinged finished. This beer ended better than it began, but I can’t rave about it.

Near black with a big, rich, nitro head. Sweet, slightly chocolatey aroma with notes of iced Vietnamese coffee. Oily, fatty, body. Surprisingly salty. Just hints of roast and a very bland sweet malt character. Argh...milk stouts aren’t just bland stout with the roast taken away.

On Tap at the brew pub. Hazy pale yellow/amber with a smal off-white head. Slight traces of lacing. Very mild maly aroma with only a hint of the fruitiness. Flavor was similar. Nor hops, light soft malt flavors and barely a trace of the namesake fruit componant. Soft, unfiltered feel and unremarkable otherwise.

On Tapat the brew pub. Pale golden color with a slight of white head. Pale modest maltiness with a matching weak hop profile. Drinkable but not particularly interesting.

On Tap at the bewpub. Light hazy golden color with a thin film of white head. Spotty lacing. Very soft and faint maltiness with an expectedly nearly non-existant hop componant. For some reason it tasted a lot like the big fat lemon wedge that was stuck on the side of the glass. Unflterd chalky feel. Nothing special.
