12oz can. Farmhouse wheat. Guess that means an infected gushing wheat. Monstrous foamy white head. Gross aroma, though the big hefe tone keeps it almost bearable. Same thing with the flavor, off infected warm sour over carbonation, but some big banana hefe notes too. Rather gross the more you sip at it and the more whiffs you get of the infection.

The smell from the first pour does have strong lime to it, more of a fresh sliced key lime than a sweet limeade. The body is an attractive brassy color under a brief head. It certainly looks more filling than some shandies that seem diluted. After the glass has aired for a minute, the nose gains more of a sweet limeade impression. The taste puts key lime up front, and demonstrates the fruit’s stronger aromatics and extra tartness. The strong lime taste makes it a little difficult to just slam it down and get back on the trail. Instead, it’s got a relationship with a Berliner Weiss, a soured beer that’s sometimes cut with a bit of sweet syrup. The key lime taste is present through the entire beer, and may not be to everybody’s liking.

Plastic pint glass at Murphy’s Bleachers in Chicago, Illinois. The pour is slight haze golden yellow with a minimal white head. The aroma is soft herbal, some spice and a general fruit sweetness. The taste is initially citrus fruit, softly sweet, then moves to soft herbal and hints of clove yeast. The palate is medium to light bodied, unfiltered mouth feel and a clean finish. Easy drinking Wit, refreshing.

No dating.
A: Pours black, 1 finger of tan foam. Lacing, quite honestly, is superb.
S: Roasted malt, coffee, that milky aroma the style dictates. More sweet than bitter.
T: Roasted malt, coffee, sweetish milky flavour but succumbs to the coffee and roast.
M: Medium body and carbonation that fits to a tee.
O: I would drink it again if I could get it locally.

12 ounce can no dating.

T: Cloves, white pepper, light bubblegum, yeast, lemon. Enjoyable.
M: Body is hampered by, what I reckon is too much carbonation.
O: Tasty and satisfying Farmhouse.

12 ounce can.
A: Hazy straw yellow, + 2 fingers of foam served at cellar temperature. No complaints aboot the lacing.
S: Spicy pine and citrus aroma. Overall bitter smell.
T: Light spiciness to the mostly piney hops, earthy malt that adds no sweet notes. How do I say it? Run of the mill.
M: Good enough mouthfeel.
O: Nothing noteworthy aboot this APA. A tough style since there are so many out there that are truly impressive.

Pour is a black with a average tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted/chared malt with some bakers chcocolate. Flavor is bitter chocolate with with some dark malt and raw sugar sweetness. A nice oily roasted malt is left on the tongue. This is pretty flavorful for a 5% stout.
