Tap at brewery. Hazy golden with a soft white head. Aroma of banana, grasses, hot dog. Flavor is grasses, paper, wheat, light smoked mead - this must be where the hot dog aroma came from. Interesting.

Tap at brewery. Pours dark brown to black with only a hint of an off-white head. Aroma is coffee, chocolates, minor raspberry, Flavor is quite bland, unfortunately. Minor coffee, minor raspberry (which seems to be more of a souring agent than actual flavor). Disappointing.
