Merland's Tap and Table draught, 6/6/26.
Not a huge nose; maybe some light yeast, sponge cake and lemon. But clean enough.
Similar in flavor. A bit bland with more texture than flavor. But there's enough bitterness, with a lemony flavor and lots of white bread character. Kept waiting for the flavors to deepen/intensify, as it warmed, but they never did. Herbs and lemon lingering. At least it's not thin/watery.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark amber to red color with a finger and a half foamy white head, fairly quick dissipation but left some mild lace
Aroma: some citrusy hops; lighter dose of piney hops; clean caramel/toffee malts, light nuts, subtle toast
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly bittersweet; mild aftertaste of citrusy hops and roasted nuts
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; fairly smooth on my tongue; finishes semi-crisp with a citrusy to earthy appeal
Overall: it's a decent amber ale, maybe again - throw some cans in the bag to go fishing and that'll be a good day.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy to murky orange coloring with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: some citrusy to lemony to orangey hoppiness with subtle clean malts in the back
Flavor: starts bitter then becomes bittersweet through the prior noted aromas; clean aftertaste of the citrusy hops
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness on the tongue but some astringent vibes; finishes citrusy and malty
Overall: it's not a bad little beer, but then again, it's nothing that'll knock your socks off, might be a good one for fishing or out by my grill.

On tap at Grazer's, Williston, Vermont.
Appearance: dark brown color with a bar pour's kind of head which swiftly fell off to leave some light concave lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, authentic coconut, subtle sweet wafer/pastry/doughy character
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas to a nice sweet and roasty tone; no aftertaste
Texture: medium to full bodied; between being sessionable and being a sipper; good smoothness on the tongue; finishes milk chocolatey with the coconut
Overall: I was kinda hoping for a "cookie batter" thing to happen but it came across more like a sweet wafer/pastry/doughy thing. Other than that, this isn't a bad beer, I think I could come back to.

Appearance: glossy orange color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off appropriately to leave some light lace.
Aroma: citrusy and pine with a stiff caramel/toffee malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-bitter then after a little more sipping ends up becoming more "bittersweet," then a mild aftertaste of the citrusy hops and malts
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability about this one, some smoothness on the tongue; finishes citrus hoppy
Overall: not a bad beer but probably not one of their best beers. maybe again.

Appearance: dark brown color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head that dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: cranberry tart to sour aspects, subtle crisp yeast
Flavor: mildly blends the prior noted aromas together tart to sweet to sour; sly aftertaste of cranberries
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards the sipping side; enough tartness grips my tongue; finishes dry and cranberry tart
Overall: I'd say a pretty good fruit sour ale I'd come back to.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown color with a three finger off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: toasted nuts, caramel/toffee malts, subtle cocoa powder and a super earthy dry coffee bean whiff, light earthy/grassy hops underneath
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas roasty clean and toasty, some earthy dry tastes pop in underneath; mild aftertaste of nuts, coffee and clean earthiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, slightly sessionable but seemingly wanting to be a sipper perhaps; fairly dry along the tongue; finishes dry and earthy with strong coffee vibe
Overall: a coffee forward brown ale and not a bad partaking from this brewery, I think I could come back to this.

Appearance: murky semi-dark copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy hoppy, light apricot; clean caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: bittersweet running through the prior noted aromas; light aftertaste of citrus and clean malts
Texture: between light to medium bodied, some kind of sessionability about it; some smoothness but also some hop abrasion on tongue; finishes citrusy and with the apricots and malts
Overall: I don't see this as a true NE styled IPA but it's not a bad beer altogether.

Appearance: murky copper color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off gently to leave some light lace

Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas together fairly tight through a bittersweet vibe; mild aftertaste of citrusy hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability about this one; somewhat stiff hoppiness clinging to my tongue; finishes citrusy with the malts
Overall: seems a bit old school, not a bad IPA and maybe one for me to come back to.
