On tap for the second round as my wife & I wait for our table at Rosa Bees. Tulip pour. Black with some brown highlights, matte with an oatmeal head. Extra toasty malt chalky, baker's chocolate, too cold for chilis on the nose. Acidic, rye bread, mineral water, earthy chocolate dust. Very faint chili's that don't bring much heat till way way later. Starchy, but not thick. Abv was on point. Not enough chilis or chocolate.

Yeasty, raspberry skin, yogurt, earthy lime & grape finish. Not all that sour. Kinda okay. Better beers on tap.

Very nice classical IPA, with an earthy, husky malt base and plenty of yummy resin and pine notes leading to a clingy bitterness on the finish. A good reason to walk across the bridge from New Belgium.

Lots of biscuit from the Vienna malt, and the Wakatus provide lime, hay, and citrus notes. Gets a bit yeasty on the back end, which makes a second pint not all that appealing. Not bad, but could use a little fine-tuning.

The Aromas are pine resin, mint and a little caramel malt. Flavors are somewhat like nose, someone in the tradition of British pale ales but too bitter. Decent body and carbonation but a little medicinal in the Finish. I've had a number of traditional British ipas in the UK and at home and that's what I based this judgment on. Great label though being a former railroader myself.

Copper color with malty and bread aroma. Taste starts sweet with caramel malt and finishes with bitter hops. European hop flavor. Crisp end, hops does not linger.

On tap at Wedge, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grassy hops and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is quite crisp, with crisp crackery malt and grassy hops. Crisp and quite authentic. Impressive.

On tap at Wedge, pours a cloudy bronze / amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light farmhouse yeast and toasted bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with farmhouse yeast, earthy notes and a bit of oaky booze. Not exactly authentic, but it's pretty convincing. Nice stuff.
