On tap at The Blackback, Waterbury, VT.
This was poured into a tulip. Oh drat, yeah well.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some light lacing here and there.
The smell had some light dry grassy hops slyly moving into roasty coffee.
The taste was mainly the same. Dry in the aftertaste and finish
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth and light.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good dark lager. I could see myself coming back to this.

Very turbid cloudy burnt orange. 4 fingers cool whip head with some big and small bubbles. Great aroma. Bright and juicy. A good citrus acidity and pine tree with a little sweetness. Good mouthfeel. A bit thin, oily and light on the carb than I’m used to. Pine cone taste with a light clementine peel. Hay, herbs, grass and table sugar.

Draught at Lord Hobo, 1/11/16.
Very hazy, near cloudy, strong copper-golden body has a large white head that shows strong retention.
Aromatic, light, spicy phenols in the nose evoke notes of white and black pepper, dried herbs and there is a definite pear and starfruit-like ester profile that is elegant and reserved. Malts are biscuity, seemingly quite dry from the nose and there’s zero banana/clove/bubble gum. This is the type of Belgian golden ale I want to drink. Even most Belgian Belgian golden ales tend to have moderate clove. Really "heady" smelling and seemingly light with no alcohol or flaw.
Very minimally sweet biscuit malts show just a touch of husk, as pepper, dried herbs and light lemon and pear-like acidity create the main force of flavor. Again no clove, no rich breadiness or caramel character. Nothing forceful or heavy here at all, really. Could use just a touch more softness to the texture, but other than that, can’t complain much here. Hops come across very delicately, adding zero resin. Does not seem Americanized, in the bad sense of the term, at all.

From a Crowler filled today. This smells fantastic. It’s cloudy, orange, smells like a citra IPA. taste is more tart, wheat, great body dense with a spritzy mouthfeel. the bitterness here is really fantastic. it’s tart, good berliner style taste. I think this is incredibly interesting. Might be re-classified as a sour/wild.

32 oz. growler thanks to AdamChandler. Bright gold color with very thin head in the snifter. Aroma is a nice amount of citrus (lemons and clementines) the yeast is slightly sour. The flavor starts as citrus and transitions into a slightly sour yeast that reminds me of a Berliner Weisse. Nicely refreshing and I wants to keep drinking this. Yes the name really makes sense here.

My first crowler! Thanks to Adam! Canned, 11/27/15, drunk 11/28/15.
Pours a highly clear amber-copper with a beige head that is fully diminishing.
Clove, caramel and light vanilla, with mild fruitiness of golden raisins and light white pepper phenols. Not incredibly aromatic, but clean and no banana to be found.
Brown bread, light acidity and lots of white pepper. Low but creamy carbonation and a soft texture. Sweetness is apparent but attenuation is good and it comes off richly malted and yet nicely dry, with an herbal bitterness and peppery phenols on the end. Very clean, elegant and in perfect condition, as Schilling’s beers almost always are.

32 oz. Crowler, thanks to AdamC. Copper in color with full full head. Aroma is herbal spicy yeast, clove, herbal dried corn husk.

Flavor has decent yeast presence with an herbal bite in the finish. Balance of the malt is through the spicness of the yeast. I enjoyed this and interesting take on the style, kind of like a hybrid.

Poured from crowler thanks AdamChandler. Pours amber caramel with a thin head. Aromas of floral tones and light malt. Taste is herbal and slightly spicy but not overwhelming.
