Pours a nice copper from a tap. Malty aroma overrun by diacetyl, flavor is primarily fake butter but ends with a fine grainy bitterness. Okay beer, wish it wasn’t such a diacetyl bomb.

Pours intensely hazy with a thick white head. Aroma of fruit with a slight malt influence. Taste is like a fairly plain ale, subtle tropical notes on the tongue. Palate includes pineapple, orange, light hops and grapefruit. Good, fruit influences just a slightly more muted than I'd expect.

Pours amber with a thick white head. Pleasant aroma of wheat and malt. Taste is similarly sweet with a strong malt body and an earthy palate. Palate also includes resinous hops. Really good ale. Floral.

Draft taster at the source. Deeper hazy golden/ yellow. Aroma has pineapple, mango, and some light grass.
Flavor has a light fruit, grass notes, and a shade of pine in the finish. If has a soft mouth but it did show the alcohol. Bitterness as it should be but as it warms the ABV really comes forward.

Sampled on draft at the Brew Pub. Deep brown in color. Bolder bready character with strong earthy malts, hint of cocoa and lager yeast. Sweetness balance by some spicy hop bitterness. The body is decent for a lager but leans on the lighter side of the spectrum. Pretty well done.

Draft taster at the source. Clear Amber appearance with little retention. Aroma is toffee, toasted grains and a mild yeast hint. This brew is lighter bodied. Malt dominates as expected. About what you would expect.

Draft taster at the source. Bright hazy yellow, normal carbonation. Aroma has citrus, orange, lemon, pineapple.
Flavor has a lot more juice than I was expecting. This is much easier to drink than the Nifty Blazer from this brewer. This brew has a soft mouthfeel and low ABV. This is the best brew I have ever had from City Steam to date.

Sample at the source. A clear IPA!!!! Aroma is nice citrus, light pine, mild herbal. The flavor is a reflection. Good amount of citrus that eases the pine and herbal hints. Normal level of bitterness for the style. Nice drinker.
