The appearance was a hazy somewhat amber/brown colored body with a one fingered white foamy head (nice bar pour), light lacing tries to cling to the glass.
The smell had a soapy somewhat bland caramel nutty malts.
The taste was malty - tries to be sweet but has an English sort of that soapy blandness pervading the flavoring. The aftertaste has a quick bland soapinessk quick dry finish.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light to medium on the body, sessionable - maybe kinda for the most part. Carbonation is lighter than some Ambers I’ve had.
Overall, nothing thrilling, but nothing bad, however I don’t see myself coming back to this.

The appearance had a hazy golden colored body with a one fingered white foamy head that dies within about a minute, light lacing tries to cling but slides for the most part.
The smell was maltier than most Double IPL’s I’ve had. I was looking forward to some peppery and/or spiciness I usually get from most Double IPL’s but as much as I nursed this, I just didn’t get it.
The taste was a malty forward Double IPL with a malty aftertaste and quick dry finish.
On the palate, it sat about a light to medium on the body; decent sessionability, carbonation seems fine for the style and there’s nothing off to me.
Overall, decent DIPL, nothing spectacular, but fair enough to come back to.

Clear light amber with a small off-white head, light lacing. Wow, one whiff and it’s a butter bomb with some citrus. Flavors of buttered popcorn, caramel, citrus with a mild bitterness
Decent, especially if you like lots of butter on your popcorn.

Hazy golden with a medium sized white head, good lacing. Aroma of strawberry and banana esters. Taste is strawberry, sweet, yeasty with a mild citrus bitterness in the finish
Decent, easy drinking. Not much of a saison though

Hazy light orange with a decent head. Some hop aroma bit a bit stale and cardboardish. Fairly bitter not very big for an imperial or for 8.5% OK for a macro-micro
