Far left draught, 7/23/26.
Juicy and fruity with tempered acidity and round, not overdone oak. Fruits share space without the raspberries dominating as they often do.
Tart and full of lovely Brett and good malt backbone. Dry and fruity finish with tight carbonation creating a near creamy texture. Been very impressed with how control Oxbow's acidity is these days. Haven't had a cringer in can't remember how long.

Had to review this after googling what it was.
Teku glass at Beer Dispensary. Active plum pour, quick settling head.
To counter what Clark said, had the the cherry wheat wine, I had it last night at another spot & it's definitely here & pretty apparent. All the acid & astringent cherry skin, plus the bourbon, albeit dilluted. Nearly as sharp, just less puckery. There's a second fruity note from the rest of the blend, more grapey, that's parallel to the cherry. Weak grain baseline. Some light irritating acid as it goes down, while the cherry was just plain sharp. Yeasty finale is quick with some mild black pepper. Unsure if the trace of apple & vanilla lingering after my sip is intentional.
Strong co2 from the lines, easy enough abv, pretty thin.
Good+, not epic but it's very repeatable.

12oz can at home. Orange pour and frothy head. Nose is hunnny and farmhouse and slight blueberry. Tastes of hay, grains, blueberry, honey, lemon, wine grapes. Chewy palate. Interesting

Stemware. As Is.
Pale plum pour, thin ring of lace.
Medium bourbon nose, plum, tart frozen cherries, lemon sorbet.
Juicy, sharp, boozy cherry punch. Short barrel essence adds a little curiosity to the end. Quite bright for a BBA beer.
Hangover material. Lingering tartness with a faint lemonade sweetness. Drinks super well with a lingering warming bourbon kiss. Basically a whiskey sour in beer form.
Not what I expected but Great.

2nd from right draught, 7/9/26.
Light-to-moderate PNW hopping shows no resin and there's no heavy caramel or intense pine. More of a peppery, leafy Cascade-like character with easygoing grapefruit and ample but not intense malt. Slightly fruity, clean.
Similar easygoing flavors with grapefruit, winter spice and marmalade. Ample malt easily balances and it ends appropriately dry. Not an astounding amount of flavor and complexity, but clean, very drinkable and balanced.

16 oz can. Pours crystal clear pale gold with thin, foamy white head.
Flavor is biscuit, cereal, bitter grass. Light bodied with drying finish. Light crisp texture. Good balance of biscuit, soft bitterness.
Light and very drinkable.

The label calls this beer a dry-hopped amber lager and also gives an ABV of 6.5%, just saying. 16 oz can that was delivered by Half Time Beverages, now is the time for a tasting. A tulip glass from ABGB in Austin sits ready before I pour. The appearance is a semi-transparent dark amber-gold carrying a slender skim of fully white foam. I smell grain assuredly and a bit of earthiness. The taste shows considerably more character with baked bread, a caramel sweetness, malt and a small hoppy bitterness. The beer gives a nice, full feeling in the sampling, I like that. A good or better beer in one of the basic styles, whichever one you want to call it.

Florals and pink bubblegum wrapper. Pours clear golden with great head and lacing. Light grain. A hint of sweetness in the finish. Was hoping for better in 15 year edition. Tap at High Side.
