Pour is a dark murky amber with a small white head. Aroma is a slight herbal hop with some sweet caramel malt. Flavor is much like the aroma. Lots of sweet malt with minimal hop. 20 years ago this would have been great but not so much now. This brewer is not breaking any new ground with these beers but they were slightly above par.

Pour is a hazy golden with a huge white head. Aroma is yeast esters with some bubblegum sweetness. Flavor is more of a grainy wheat malt with some citrus tartness. Smelled like a saison, drank more like a wit. Pretty good take on doing something different with your average wheat ale.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a pleasantly mid hop. Flavor is again mild hop flavor with a bone dry malt. There is no date on the can but this seems fresh. A decent no frills pale ale.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed two weeks ago at a friends house before watching Bollywood movies. I didn’t take tasting notes, but remember this being rather sub-par, a bit soapy, not very enjoyable. Oh well!

bottle - Pours hazy with a two finger head. It has a hoppy smell with some band-aid. That’s not a good sign. The taste is definitely off and it gets worse as it warms. There’s a nasty, off, band-aid flavor. It’s another bad beer. I got through maybe half of it and dumped the rest. I’ve had beers gone bad from way too many breweries in recent years. What happened to quality control? Disappointing.

Beermiscuous, Chicago tap: pours black with a tan head. Aroma is sugar, roasted malts, chocolate, molasses. Taste is sweet with some underlying hoppiness. Sweet aftertaste. Fortunately not too sugary as a whole. Nice.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on a lazy and boring Friday night during a work weekend. Appearance is a bright gold, not much head, lightly bubbly. Aroma is mostly yeast, light spice. Taste of banana notes, clove, wild yeast, wheat, decent but not going down too lightly.

Tap at Next Door. Filtered pale yellow-tan body. Respectable glass lacing white head. Bitter, dry. In the White IPA realm. Has some dry, mineral seltzer feels. Lemony, almost herbal feel. Saison yeast? Kind of odd, but OK. Lemongrass, chamomile. Tastes kind of like the ubiquitous spiced Saisons of years past.

Tap at Atlas. Unfiltered orange-tan body. About 12oz in my pint. Big orange-hued white head. A decent APA, but can’t hang with the rest of the Chicago crew. Watery, fresh, boring. Orange tinged bitterness. Good, but lacking the hardcore modern feel I had hoped for. Better than average still, OK.

Tap at Atlas. Deep copper-amber body, filtered. Very pleasant citrus, tropical aroma. Juicy new school hops. Mellow carbonation. Very tasty drink. Downright juicy hops, no real "bitterness". The juicy hops and sweet malt meet at an interesting point. Not dry, very unique. Well done.
