Can from Airforcehops, undated, from the brewery, drunk 8/21/24. Clear, bright copper-peach-bronze. Good-sized, off-white head slowly recedes to cover. Nose is pretty light all around and, at least, shows no punchy lactic character. Vague citrus, reasonable malt (white bread, biscuit) and nutty wheat. Clean. In the mouth I thought it was a wheat ale (well, a gose is, technically) until I saw it was a gose (also didn't realize the blood orange). Blood orange is a subtle flavor and it's not overdone with lactic acidity. But it's pretty malty and chewy with good attenuation. Would like some more tartness and I didn't find any salinity.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Hazy, bright yellow with nice sparkle, thin head quickly fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is strong wheat, coriander, clove, lighter banana. Taste follows aroma with stronger banana. Smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Good representative of the style in breadth and strength of aroma and flavor.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy pale yellow with tons of sparkle, fluffy head with excellent retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is strong sweet/tart citrus, grapefruit. Taste is citrus, pine over milder cracker backbone. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength traditional IPA.

16 oz can from the brewery. Aroma is Pilsner malt with soft honey. Flavor is a direct reflection. Light body with a crisp texture. Doesn’t get overly sweet. This brewers seems to do light body summertime brews pretty well.

16 oz can purchased at the brewery. Aroma has the correct yeast notes. Clove and banana are found in the flavor. A negative is it lacking the dense yeastiness that most hefes have. That said, it is lighter for the summer months. Decent.

Brewery draught, 7/5/24. Lightly hazy, pale white gold. Thin, lightly creamy, white head. Nose is spicy, as if coriander-like. Cracker or wheat? Clean, not really hoppy. Clean, crackery, spicy herbs and good bitterness. Very light, almost thin. Refreshing, dry.

4 oz draft at the brewery. Crystal clear Golden color. Flavor is mild honey malt with a hint of some sort of yeast. Doesn’t remind me of German Cole Sheese at all thinner body..

Brewery draught, 7/5/24. Clear golden. White head steadily to ring. Doesn't smell very kolsch like. Though it's clean, lightly malty, a bit of spicy hop. Clean malts, low but ample hop. More pale or blonde ale. Not getting much kolsch yeast.

16oz can from City Market. Dark brown with frothy beige head. Aroma is dark malts, nutty, tea. Taste adds light sweetness and bitterness, malty, woody, nutty, chocolate. Gets better as it warms.

From my brother: pours amber with a white head. Pine, citrus and caramel malts. Taste is rather bitter and has a hefty malt backbone. Not as bitter tasting as the IBU would imply. Classic IPA.
