6.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
From tap at Culmination, Portland. Aroma is fruity dark berries, currant, bready malt, with soft hoppy notes. Flavour is a little sweet from the fruits and mild bitter. Body is medium. Not as IPA as I expected, I’d call this Hopberry Pale Ale. Either way, this is pleasant.

On tap at brewery. Pours clear dark gold with white head. Aroma has rustic wood, dry grass, and esters. Flavour is pretty earthy, dry grass, sweet esters. Not terrible, but the esters kinda fuck it up.

On tap at Culmination, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has young brett and plenty of muffled mustiness. Flavour is muffled and feet-like, with plenty of sweat socks, armpit, and a touch of muffled brett. This is totally incompetent.

6.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Culmination, pours a clear golden with a tiny white head. Aroma is full of acidic lime and cherry upfront, with gentle wild yeast in back. Flavour is dominated by the intense lime upfront, with a hint of cherry and subtle bugginess. Not much complexity here. The lime is bright and refreshing but nothing else about the beer speaks to me. Okay.
