Tap at Beergeek Bar. Clear amber body, off-white head. Pleasant malt-driven aroma, dark bread and caramel largely, rye maybe. Liiiiightly tart, smooth caramelly taste, dark bread, earthy, vague alcohol, oooh, tasty! Pleasant, smooth, elegant, one of my two faves tonight!

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Slightly hazy golden body, creamy white head. Complex aroma, mild diacetyl (?!), sharp herbal notes, maybe alcohol. Kinda gives off rakija vibes while not being boozy in the aroma. Weird. Creamy taste, boozy, honeyish, alcoholic, funnily says 8° to 7% and now I can almost believe that. Herbal finish, lightly warming. Whoa. Not sure what to think of it.

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Hazy yellow body, off-white head. Lovely lean, dry citric, somewhat herbal aroma, some lemon rock candy, lightly dusty. Spicy, oily, citric, distinctly hoppy, bitterish, smooth taste. Pretty good hoppy farmhouse, light, kinda simplistic, modern and retro, fun.

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Golden body, white head. Spicy, light, dry, herbal aroma. Soft, clean taste, bit minerally, vaguely sweet, creamy, floral-herbal creamy hoppy touches. Vague herbal bitterness underneath. Bit on the watery side, fresh, highly drinkable. Enjoying this a fair bit!

On tap @Grand Delancy. Just realized I had the OG version a week later at Beer Culture for way too much money. Hazy, pale gold, frothy pour. Wax, smoke, fennel, plastic nose. Waxy, super herbal, marigold. Mostly dry, very crispy, very astringent, decent acid, just too earthy & floral. Prefer the French OG.

Hazy, frothy, pale honey gold pour @Beer Culture. Faintly yeasty, old wood, slight acid, mellow sweetness, restrained nose. Earthy, acidic, faint pale sweetness, herbal bitter backdrop. Crispy, a little meat, just sweet enough, great acid. Pretty good, though at a simply terrible price per pour.

On tap at Garden Path - Bellingham, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some residual sugars, farmhouse yeast, and old oaky notes. Flavour is semi-sweet, with old oak, some residual sugars, and farmhouse yeast. A bit too sweet and lacking integration, but it's a fine beer.
