Mmm BA lagers, so much malty vanilla from the barrel, light bodied and almost crisp still but showcasing so much single malt deliciousness.

Faint pleasant aroma with some little fruit. Gold body with fast dissipating white head. Medium malty taste with some spice.

On tap at Chuck’s Seward Park, pours a lightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of soft leafy hops, light grass, and doughy malt. Flavour is moderately bitter, with very fresh leafy hops, some pine, and doughy malt. Finishes bitter, fresh, and vibrant. Excellent.

Can.

A- Golden color, cloudy liquid, white head.

A- Strawberries, tart.

F- Tart, sour, rhubarb, mild strawberry.

P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, sour finish.

O- Lots of tangy flavor. I think New Glarus spoiled me for this combo of a fruit beer so this was just okay for me. Needed a stronger sweet flavor of the fruits and not jus the sour notes.

12 oz can. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone white head that settles into a skiff and ring of foam after a minute. Aroma has notes of whiskey, wood, caramel, clay, flowers, peppercorn, vanilla. Lovely whiskey barrel notes in flavor. A little thin, though.

On tap at DownTime Taps, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Nose has plenty of tropical fruit, plenty of muddled pith, and a touch of citrusy hops. Flavour is reasonably clean for a hazy, with citrus peel, tropical fruit, and a touch of pine. Clean and well-hopped for a hazy pale. Solid.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is kind of bretty funk tartness. Flavor is tart funk with a lot of butter. Finish is tart lemon juice. I don't know if that buttery flavor is intended but that's what dominates. Decent low abv 4.2% saison.

Deep gold, sticky, appley…I legitmately cannot say that this comes together well at all. It's a tough style to make, especially if you're not a dedicated lager brewer.

Dullish, opaque, weedy nose, even weedier palate. Decent malt, but this is real. Good balance.
