Draught taster pour at Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival. Appearance is deeply hazy golden yellow with trace sparkle, almost finger-width white creamy head with decent retention. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, citrus. Taste is mild fruit at the start, then has a decided lack of flavor--not sweet, not bitter, not spicy--some sort of "other" quality, like a flavorless cucumber or celery, that evokes cellulose. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, the odd vegetative quality described above, a lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, this is OK. It's hard to love or harsh on it because it's difficult to describe, but not in a compelling way. Strange from Amarillo and Citra to only get them in the aroma and not in the flavor.

Draught taster pour at Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival. Appearance is highlighter yellow with light sparkle, decent amount of white head with fair retention and lacing. Aroma is strong coffee and coconut. Taste is more balanced coconut and slightly burnt coffee, roasted malt in background. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, I dig this style. The aroma is fantastic with the taste a little to the burnt side but a little too carbonated--kind of takes you out of a stout mindset.

Poured from 2016 bottle thanks AFH dark chestnut with amber hues and a thin tan head. Aroma is fig, raisin, toffee, bourbon and oak. Taste follows oak, toffee, raisin, fig. Each sip is different as it warms and leaves a warming feeling. Nice brew. --- Beer merged from original tick of Fallen Angel on 10 Oct 2018 at 18:06 - Score: 7. Original review text: Nice.

Draught at the brewery, 8/17/18.
Glowing copper-to-deep brass. Lightly cloudy, with a rapidly-fizzling ring of bubbles atop.
Fruity yeast and/or bacteria mixes with gentle lactic acidity, light wood character and some red fruit notes. Nutty, biscuity wheat and more acidity sit on the end with citrus and yogurt suggestions.
In the mouth it's tart-to-sour with a well-attenuated character, grain, cereal and light honey, lots of lactic character and no tequila that I can find. Engaging carbonation, no alcohol or flaw. Moderate salinity on the finish is quite a nice touch.

Draught at the brewery, 8/17/18.
Chill-hazed-like, warm-toned sunset orange with a small, off-white head showing moderately-low retention.
A fair amount of lightly juicy pineapple and ripe orange in the nose mixes quickly with base malt to give a very balanced nose. Clean American ale yeast and low resin further impress, with light pine and grapefruit joining in, but thanks to the malt, not producing too aggressive of a hop character. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's clean, malty and with a substantial texture that is soft and tightly carbonated. Pineapple and very light mango lead to orange, lemon and grapefruit, with strong biscuit and honey bringing up the rear and adding some heft to the body and texture, yet providing strong balance in soaking up potential excess hop acidity. Clean, straightforward, "nouveau" West Coast IIPA. Solid.

Draught at the brewery, 8/17/18.
Pale, glassy, mango skin and peach-golden. Off-white head atop is small and shows low retention.
Tart, lactic acidity and highly attenuated mango juice mixes reasonably-well in the nose on top of a sparse cracker and light wheat-like base. A touch of excess lactic acidity, it seems, but nothing problematic really. No alcohol or flaw. Very straightforward kettle sour.
In the mouth it's more of the same, as one expects of the "style". Tart-to-lightly acidic, with sparse, highly attenuated cracker malt and dry, attenuated mango notes. Some light "chewiness" as the beer warms and progresses and a zippy, engaging carbonation with no flaw or alcohol. Light, tart, drinkable and refreshing.

Draught at the brewery, 8/17/18.
Very lightly cloudy, chill-haze-like clarity with a strong brass color and small, off-white head dispersing to bubbles quickly.
More ginger than pine, but the ginger is well-done, not overdone and integrated with the fruity pine notes. Dry, cracker malt behind it all transitions to light biscuit on the end, as more yellow fruit and gentle acidity gather, but don't overwhelm.
In the mouth it's light, watery, drinkable and spicy with moderate acidity, highly attenuated malts and light-to-moderate yellow fruits. Maybe a bit more malt depth here would help, as it's quite given to cracker, spice and acid. Low, somewhat engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw.

Draught at the brewery, 8/17/18.
Heavily cloudy, peachy-cantaloupe with off-white bubbles that quickly fizzle away.
Rather gentle, pine-laced nose shows light ginger and big fruity ester notes (strawberry, peach, apple). Malts underneath show biscuit and very little, if any, sweetness, though it doesn't seem bare or overly acidic. Light honey emerges on the end, with more pine, vegetal notes and strong herbal notes.
In the mouth it's soft, biscuity, dry, showing light carbonation, though engaging. Pine, lavender, ginger and black pepper all collect on the palate, as fruity esters lighten things somewhat. Very gentle bitterness and surprisingly, light-bodied, easy-drinking.

On tap at Earth Eagle, pours a hazy dull golden, no head. Nose brings out lots of earthy notes, with the pine pollen—or what I assume is the pollen—upfront, with a touch of ginger. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of pine and ginger. Fairly yeasty and earthy. It's alright.

On tap at Earth Eagle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out the coffee upfront, with medium toasted malt. Flavour is dry, with earthy coffee and medium toasted malt. Earthy and dry. Decent.
