Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is mildly bready, rye, citrus. Med body (lots of frothy carbonation). Starts bitter. Flavor matches aroma - but stronger. Rye becomes quite noticeable with repeated quaffs. Drinkable.

Bottle - Lemon grass and citrus hops. Pale clear yellow with a nice foamy head. A quick hit of nice clean bitterness that lingers but isn’t overbearing. Grapefruit and lemon grass but no sweetness and a little dry. A nice refreshing APA.

Bottle - Rich coffee aroma with the slightest bit of alcohol. Rich opaque brown with a nice thin but persistent brown head. Roasted coffee, malts, tinge of bitterness and alcohol on the finish. The ’nut’ is lost on me but it is a nice dark beer, a little strong and more like a porter

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head and minimal lacing. Aroma is of grain and huckleberry. Flavor is the same, mildly sweet. A bit cloying in the finish. Not what I was expecting, for all the world like a pale lager with a bit of huckleberry juice in it.
