7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Draught at Haymaker, 3/17/17.
Dark cocoa-to-ebony brown/black body shows magenta highlights and light clarity. Cocoa-tan head atop is small and fades steadily to cover.
Lime and coconut are wrapped about dusty cocoa, light raisin and tons of bittersweet chocolate with lingering caramel. The lime actually helps balance with its dry, acidic character and the coconut isn’t overdone, though it’s easy to find. Obviously neither of these things add anything to a traditional schwarzbier, but taken as just an American adjunct black lager, it works well enough.
In the mouth it’s light with dusty cocoa and only light caramel and treacle with low sweetness. Soft, somewhat slick at times texture with low, engaging carbonation and lime-like juice and acidity on the finish. Coconut intersparsed gently throughout with more dusty cocoa lingering, as well. Interesting and the fact that it’s very drinkable is impressive. I don’t know that I’d go out and have another one, but if you showed me this on paper, I’d laugh and be disgusted. As is, this is far from disgusting.

8.4/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
Draught at Stoked, 3/15/17.
Lightly hazy, pale, straw/beeswax yellow with a medium-sized, firm, white head atop.
Nose is very fruity with highly aromatic ripe nectarine, yellow apple, meyer lemon and spicy, dank, greenery. Not ultra-juicy, but there’s some of it there, with delicate honey malts in the background balancing easily through no resin or alcohol. It’s a really aromatic IPA that doesn’t fit in to any one style, which I really appreciate.
In the mouth it’s clean, crisp, well-attenuated and malty, with light cereal, delicate honey and fresh, mineral-rich yeast character. Yellow fruits galore, with sweet mango, pineapple and nectarine and tons of dank, spicy, wintergreen-tinged C hops. Good bitterness, but not too aggressive, with no alcohol, flaw or resin. Perfect carbonation and texture. Bunker is fucking awesome.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at Townshend, 2/11/17.
Good clarity in this sparklingly-carbonated, pale-flaxen blonde beer. White head atop is medium-sized and dense.
Light cereal grains in the nose mix with dusty hops, a touch of lemon-lime and plenty of fresh grass. Clean, seemingly well-attenuated from the nose and with delicate hints of honey and buttercream (not diacetyl-induced). Hops are a little more prominent than in a traditional pilsner, but not by much and I assume it’s more due to the relative freshness than any intention to Americanize this thing (also they are still Noble hop-like in character).
Dry, lightly grainy with tight carbonation, tons of lemon and fresh grass and dainty cereal grains on the finish. A bit of sweat, sawdust and dust is the only detractor, though I’d hardly even say it’s unwanted. Playful notes of honey, mineral and more freshly cut grass linger on the crisp, well-carbonated, dry finish.

Draught @ Milk and Hops. Opaque dark brown with large foamy beige head, faint citrus aroma, high carbonation, bitter roasted malt taste with scant citrus flavor, thin body, long burnt malt finish. Not sure where the coconut was.

Pours deep hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel aromas. Sweet butterscotch and caramel upfront turning to mild bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Can, undated (wish they’d date their cans, but hopefully that’s in the works), drunk 1/22/17.
Light chill-haze to this straw-golden beer. White head atop is large and well-retained.
Fruity and lightly juicy hops in the nose show lemon, mango, pineapple, red grapefruit as well as fresh grass and pepper. Malts give just a hint of honey with light, pleasant cereal and dry grain notes. It works well together, in spite of the dryness, as it ends up being highly crisp and bright, with just enough malt and juiciness to even things out. No resin, flaw or alcohol.
Malty and yet nicely attenuated, with soft, honey-filled textures, light sweetness and good balance for the crisp, bright, clean hop notes that range from fresh grass and peppery herbs, to lemon, red grapefruit and very light pineapple. Bitterness crescendos on the finish and it’s certainly got a kick to it, but I love where the abv is at and the beer is masterfully well-constructed and polished, with no sloppy resin or scratchy malt, nor flaw or alcohol. Really enjoying Bunker, glad they started distributing to Mass.

Tap at District Tap house ducked out of work for quick brew. Light gold colored and nose is thick pine. Tastes of pine, grassy, cereal, scallions and touch of aerosol cleaning detergent. Bitter and zesty palate.

7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Cans (undated) drunk 12/25-12/29/16 and on draught at Worden Hall, 1/25/17.
Burnished copper-bronze body shows a good clarity and firm, beige head atop in both can and draught (little bit of haze in the can, but minimal).
Peach, marmalade, crusty bread, light honey, floral notes and soft red fruits abound in the nose. Very unexpected (not sure what I was expecting, but not this). It’s like a vienna lager with new age hops, yet the hops are done well, not adding any pine or resin. Some definite grapefruit, but the strong herbal/floral character and big fruit notes help balance it. Very clean, no alcohol noted.
In the mouth it’s nicely attenuated with a malty, soft body not given over much to the specialty malts, thankfully. Still some bread and earth but it compliments the red and orange fruits nicely and there is some definite juiciness to it while also leaving it crisp and dry on the finish. Bitterness is definitely up there, but I think it’s just balanced enough and it’s hard to not love the perfect texture/attenuation/carbonation.
