Can at home really knocking back the Oktoberfest this year. Lighter colored version of style. Nose is malty. Tastes of malt, light brown sugar, root beer, dried leaf litter. Crisp and light bodied. Ok

12 oz. can. Pours a cloudy muddy yellow color with a large white head and excellent retention. Minimal lacing. Average wheat ale aroma. Taste is dominated by wheat ale with a hint of floral sweetness. Decent. Better than I expected.

A golden Weisse with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light chocolate, light vanilla, light fruity esters, OK. In mouth, like a thawed Neapolitan ice cream, with carob chocolat, mineral notes, light watery body, baaah. On tap at Brew Bus.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up an inviting blend of juicy smelling tangelo and grapefruit. Nice. The taste delivers a blend of pine, grapefruit and orange zest like hop bitterness. There's also a nice level of tangelo hop flavor juiciness too. Nice IPA.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up mostly prunes and molasses with a faint dark roasted malts well off in the periphery. The taste delivers smooth sweet fig, raisin and prune like fruity esters with mild levels of molasses and dark roasted malts murmuring along in the background. Pretty nice.

12 oz can bought in St Pete, FL. Slightly hazy gold colored pour with a white head and very good retention. Small spots of lacing. Light citrus nose. Crisp mouthfeel. Light citrus (grapefruit?} flavor on a soft wheat base with a short finish. Mellow and chuggable. Simple and refreshing.

12 oz can bought in St Pete, FL. Pours a clear dark mahogany color with a beige head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Nutty nose. Semi-creamy mouthfeel. Taste of walnuts with a slightly acidic finish. Not bad but disappointing.

First sip says, ok, neat, but it's all downhill from there. I appreciate the light tartness, and it's not overly sweet, but the blueberry doesn't work well here. Good mouthfeel and I'm digging for complements here!

Purely for new brewery tick, not sure where the cold storage part comes in it’s confusing see these guys listed as just Florida Avenue everywhere. There was a an expensive draft of Anchorage that I’m sure I’d prefer but being cheap and chasing stats went here. Clear light gold. Nose is faint citrus and cardboard. Bitter for sure with medicinal, cardboard, lemon, herbal tastes all in not that pleasant a way. Eh
