Amber, hazy, thin head, sticky, very fruity, big phenolic character, light chocolate. Fairly complex for a beer that doesn’t really deliver shit all.

Armsby draught, 8/14/25.
Clear, dark cola-umber. Small, light-tan head steadily to ring.
Bright cherry, wood and maybe a touch of acetic? Maybe not. It's light, what very it is. But it smells quite acidic. Very light toast and chocolate on the end with a touch of bourbon. No alcohol noted.
Not that sour, in flavor though. Prominent cherry and light oak with a pinch of chocolate, toast and bourbon. Medium body, on the lighter side, though still malty and improved by the wood tannin. Dry and tart on the finish. Could stand a bit more maltiness here. Getting a ton of bright cherry and wood but not that much complexity, to be honest.

Canned 7/9/25, drunk 8/6/25.
Slightly hazy, drab blonde-bronze. Small, white head steadily to scant cover and clumps on edge.
Very phenolic nose shows a lot of white pepper and clove, but rounded by staunch maltiness showing white bread and biscuit. Clean otherwise with peppery hops. Mild fruitiness lingering.
Hmmm, spicier (yeast) than usual from Oxbow. Not that it tastes messy/crude (no banana, minimal bubble gum) but it is A LOT of clove. Great texture, attenuation, carbonation, body, etc....just wish it wasn't so damned clovey...

Can - lightly hazy gold - soft carbonation, fill in the mouth - dry and crisp, but with a complex herbaceous profile and full earthy honey flavor without the associated sweetness, giving it a light funky note - really good.

Level 99 draught, 7/29/25.
Clear, rosé with a small, pinkish head.
Bright and fruity with no big acidity or chalk from adjunct. Malty, with soft honey-like notes balancing easily. Bit of herbal, spicy elderflower lingering. Almost no lacto in the nose.
Light, spritzy, with a zesty herbal character and nicely attenuated grape character. Tart skin and good acidity throughout with a good deal of dryness, but just enough chewy wheat and malt to balance. Very, very low lacto, wow. This is surprising for an Oxbow mixed ferm...

500mL bottled 7/16/24, drunk 7/27/25.
Clear, dark cola. Small, off-white head.
Some bourbon but it quickly mixes with a lightly toasted, lightly papery character. Juicy raspberry/blueberry character with good attenuation.
Again, a respectable body with a good maltiness and high attenuation, but there's this odd papery, earthy, almost vegetal character that is hard to describe. Light fruitiness, strong wood and very old barrel character. Some light vanilla and earthy, nearly astringent blueberry skin. Well-done but that earthy-vegetal note is annoying.
