Draught, 2009 ABR. Dark yellow appearance, just a little haze. Big cherry aroma. Flavor has lots of real cherry, that pretty much overwhelms everything else, including the high abv. Some sweet sugar and recognizable Belgian yeast, but first and foremost, a good cherry beer.

ABR 2009. Draught at the 2009 ABR. Very nice lavender aroma, a scent I really like. Medium sweet, very light honey, some grain, and a little fruit. A very light and delicate beer, but also with very nice flavor and aromas. I wish my palate was fresher when I tried it.

Growler from tytoanderso, shared at Lost Abbey. Pours with a creamy tan head and a hazy bronze body. Aroma is clean with a ton of pine. Taste is pine and caramel with a lot of residual uneaten sugar. Light bubbles creamy carbonation. Not the worlds best IPA, but very good.

I had not even planned it out this way but I ended up being in Minneapolis on a Monday, as soon as I realized this I had to run over to Town Hall. Snifter/goblet pour at the brewpub comes to me with a thick head. The color is a hazy, glowing, dark amber. It definitely looked appetizing. Aroma is wam bam mango mam. This is mixed with the beautiful hoppiness of the Masala Mama. Surprisingly, the two go very well together. The mango comes off as mango sorbet (Häagen-Dazs brand). In the flavor the mango is more like mango tea. It is so simple yet so damn awesome.

Growler at Peter’s NY gathering - thanks to the responsible party - this is a no-nonsense IPA, with the earthy, grapefruit notes of California all over the place - almost juicy, with loads of hay, grass, orange peel - earthy yet crisp - some bitter herbal notes near the end - moderate malt sweetness balances it, and keeps it from becoming too dry - quite nice.
