Growlette from brewery.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off at a subtle pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some light citrus to floral bittersweet hops over top of a light malt base.
The flavor was semi-sweet through the prior mentioned aromas to lead into the aftertaste and follow through nicely into the finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, certainly this brewery is just down the road from where I live as I’ll be sure to be grabbing more of this during the Summer.

Growlette share.
The appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Lace had some speckled stringiness.
The aroma had a good amount of roasted malts up front with some light milk chocolate, some dark chocolate and then a little bit of smoke. Just a touch of earthy hops slide in for the balance.
The flavor blended the roast to the sweet initially and then the smoke and earthiness came in slightly as it continued to warm. Slight nutty to roasty and milk chocolate like aftertaste warms the finish in the same way.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Slight carbonation. Sturdy ABV. Everything seemed like it was there for this one.
Overall, well worth my time for a brown ale that made for a nice Sunday evening.

Growlette poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a soft hazy pale yellow to orange color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a nice pace.
The aroma had some semi-soft sweet citrus pulpiness rushing into a bitter grapefruit rind and then cues of some spicy semi-piney hoppy bitterness slide in underneath.
The flavor seems to blend fairly well between the spice, bitter and sweet. Damp hoppy aftertaste struts into the finish fairly nice.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. Nice ABV.
Overall, very nice AIPA worthy of having again.

Growlette from the brewery.
My first pour was into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy burnt orange color with a slight transparency about it. Concave lace.
The aroma starts with some pineapple, dried pine needles, light honeydew. Some sweet to bitter grassy hops. Refined malt layer far underneath.
The flavor balances nicely, pure and bittersweet between the bitter hops and the sweet hops. Malts once again are there, but are underneath. Dried piney to citrusy aftertaste. Pine induced finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it. Mild carbonation. Feels good for the most part.
Overall, really nice AIPA that I will be sure to grab more of.

Sample tulip.
The appearance was a semi-hazy pale yellow color with no head nor lacing.
The aroma sharpens some crisp bready Belgian sweet malts against a grassy sweet and lemony freshness. Sly white pepper, lemongrass, and sage blend in underneath.
The flavor leans slightly to the bitter grassy hops but lends a hand nicely to those bready malts as well. Dry semi-sweet to bitter grassy hoppy aftertaste running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it despite it being as dry as it is. Carbonation felt fine for what it is.
Overall, nice saison that I would have again.

Sample tulip at the brewery.
The appearance was a ruddy yellow color. Bar pour, no head, no lacing.
The aroma takes on some sweet grassy to bitter citrus rind-like hops. Subtle sweet and bitter pine needles.
The flavor leads the charge with the dried piney needles and develops a sly smoothness of the bitter part of those citrus rind-like hops. Nice pillowy sweet to bitter piney aftertaste moving on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a sharp harshness conveying itself as the bitterness. Sessionable and pretty smooth for being as bitter as it comes across.
Overall, crushable APA that I would love to pound the crap out of on a hot Summer’s day.

The appearance was a mildly hazy burnt yellow almost pale orange color. Bar pour’s kind of slim head dissipates immediately. No lacing.
The aroma had some sweet German yeasty breadiness, subtle grassy hops, some lemon sweetness.
The flavor takes the aromas and sharpens a quaint little bready aftertaste and quick semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionable smoothness about it. Nice feel on my tongue.
Overall, I could have this again.

Growlette share with Doug.
I poured mine into a tulip.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt yellow to stringy hues of orange glossing along the sides. Rimmed with some slowly dissipating rings of lace, it’s head started with about a slim finger’s worth of white foaminess.
The aroma starts off with some sweet pear, light banana, green apples, and then allows a delicate white pepper, black pepper, and clove to make a nice effort for balance. Sly sweet to bitter grassiness underneath.
The flavor leans semi-sweet with all of the previously mentioned aromas sweetly and stealthily letting the spice in underneath. Some lemon sweetness. Light combined fruity aftertaste with a quick wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice crisp sweet smooth sessionability about it. Low carbonation.
Overall, pretty good Belgian blond ale that I would have again.
