On tap at the source. Comes to the table a clear straw color with a solid off white head that leaves lots of lace and a solid stream of carb bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Smells of sweet bready pilsner malt with hints of honey and light sugar with a faint floral hop to counter. The flavor is lightly sweet with bready honey and a solid spicy ho to back it up. Medium to light body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a slick sweet mouthfeel. Nice cream ale, I could envision a few of these on a warm day.

On tap at the source. Comes to the table a solid golden amber with a decent head that leaves lots of lace on the way down. Smells of bitter citrus and earth with lots of caramel maltiness to back it up. Old school aroma reminds me of Harpoon. The flavor follows the aroma with lots of grapefruit and lemon pith with hints of pine and a bit of caramel and brown bread to back it up. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick sweet mouthfeel. Nice old school IPA I enjoyed it.

On tap at the source. Comes to the table a solid black with a small tan head that seems perpetual. Smells of caramel coffee and a hint of chocolate. Little if any hop is present in the aroma. The flavor is roasty with coffee and burnt sugar with just a hint of chocolate and a light fruity tartness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick sweet mouthfeel. Good stout, but lacking something that I can’t quite put my finger on. Needs a bit more creaminess in the mouthfeel for an oatmeal stout too.

On tap at the source. Comes to the table a clear amber color with a small head but a decent amount of lace. Smells of light caramel and brown sugar with a earthy spicy hop to provide some balance. The flavor is earth and spicy hop with a hint of skunk and a solid caramel malty backbone. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick sweet mouthfeel. Nice approachable easy drinking ale.

Bottle. Hazy dark amber color, thick off white head, solid lacing. Aroma of fragrant and floral pine. Taste is very bitter pine resin, too bitter for me.
