Tap at DryHop. Unfiltered amber-copper-brown color. Foamy, steady off-white head. Nice modern Citra aroma, hints of green garlic that I love. The tea and lemon are there, but the Citra is there even more. Damn, this is a great beverage. A mellow, easy doughy medium dark/godlen body, but a pronounced new school hop bitterness. Pretty fantastic. Tea comes out more and more in the aroma. Wow.

Tap at DryHop. Hazy brightish orange-tan. Foamy off-white head, steady. Piny, lemony aroma. Piny, lemony taste. Rich and chewy. Lots of earthy resinous hops. Well brewed, accurate and to style. Piny hops. True Belgian feel. A nice dry balancing bitterness to the sweet yeast and malts. Well done, nails the style but ust a pinch thin at times. Fresh, clean.

Tap at DryHop. Hazy, murky unfiltered orange-tan. Big steady off-white aroma. Bright bold hop aroma. One of the best White IPAs I’ve had. Bold tropical citrus. Fresh, flowery, with the perfect yeasty body to balance. Bold new school hops. Top notch, World Class White IPA.

Tap at DryHop. Hazelnut ginger brown ale. Interesting. Nice smooth brown malt notes. The ginger is mild, adding a nice touch. The hazelnut is well incorporated too. A very enjoyable Brown Ale. Clean, well balanced.

Enjoyed on tap at DryHop Brewers in Chicago, IL before seeing the band Field Report. Pretty good one here. Appearance is pitch black, thick and creamy consistency with a large tan head. Aroma is like a milk chocolate pumpkin pie. Taste is pretty damn good, lots of pumpkin with chocolate, lactose and a faint hint of smoke. Very enjoyable.

32oz growler from the brewery pours a murky gold with some frothy, lacing white head. Nose is very fruity, tropical fruit, mango, passion fruit, lemon, perfume, some lychee. Flavor follows right along, tangerine, lemon, straw, dried pineapple, passion fruit, some lime. Crisp finish. Really solid and very drinkable.

10oz pour at the brewery pours a clear, purpley amber with some spitty, white head. Nose has some brown sugar, some vanilla, a little fake sweetener, some mild flour, a little gristy. Flavor is mostly just sweetness, cookie, vanilla, brown sugar, some Stevia, a little root beer. Slightly cloying. Didn’t love this.
