On tap at Avondale, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out musty, earthy hops and a toasted biscuity malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy hops, light perfume and biscuity malt. Lacking cohesion and not the best expression of hops, but drinkable enough. Okay.

On tap at Avondale, pours a cloudy bright pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of lacto and a melange of tart berries. Flavour has a shitload of lacto, with lots of fruity tart berries. Massively yogurty palate with a good incorporation of the fruit. Fun beer.

On tap at Avondale, pours a hazy bright ruby red with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart berries, with a touch of lacto. Flavour is very simple, with tart berries - not a whole lot going on. Simple but drinkable. Okay.

On tap at Avondale, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light farmhouse year and gentle crisp apple skins. Flavour is not very farmhouse-y, with light apple skins. Not much funk to speak of. It's okay.

On tap at Avondale, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out tempered vanilla character, with a mild toasted malt backbone. Flavour is along the same lines, with a bit more pronounced vanilla upfront, with a dry toasted malt base. Decently constructed but not particularly exciting. It's okay.

Black with a tan head. Lightly sweetened coffee, chocolate, lightly roasted malt, mild earth, malt. Finish has espresso and light sweetness. One of the better coffee beers I’ve had recently.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Shmupi. Hazy golden. Stale hops aroma. Flavor has sweetish malt, honey note, and bitterish stale hops. Medium-bodied. Not fresh.

Draft at Liquor Express, Huntsville, AL. Pour is hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, clove, coriander and other spices. Taste is similar to aroma, with light lemon and citrus notes. Refreshing.
