Draft/Fest. A- Watery. A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Grains, skunky. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Flavorless and skunky so the name makes sense. Tasted more like a lager than a cream ale. Either way it was bound to not be that great, when you brew a beer like this.

On tap at Benson, pours a clear dark copper with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg, smelling indeed like a chai tea. Flavour is similar, with plenty of the aforementioned spices, and a milky palate. Nicely done.

On tap at Benson, pours a dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts and bready caramel. Flavour is smooth, with bready caramel, toffee and light toasted nuts. Creamy and rather rich body for a brown. Solid stuff.

On tap at Benson, pours a clear copper golden with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops in true west coast fashion, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is similar, with piney hops, some mineraly notes, a trace of diacetyl, and biscuity malt. A bit flawed but it's not too bad.

On tap at Benson, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out moderately toasted malt, with some earthy coffee and dusty chalky notes. Flavour is nicely rich, with plenty of coffee character upfront, with moderate sweetness and a hint of roast. Nicely done, easy-drinking stout. Good stuff.
