On tap at Vermont Pub, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is a bit farty, with Belgian yeast and a strange earthy hop character. Flavour is along the same lines, with Belgian yeast, earthy hops, and biscuity malt. Fatty and earthy. Not convinced.

On tap at Vermont Pub, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy and piney hops, and a dry toasted biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Nothing special, but it's clean and drinkable.

On tap at Vermont Pub, pours a deep dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel and some herbal, vegetal notes. Flavour is a bit odd, with some earthy, spicy notes, vegetal notes, and toasted caramel. Odd stuff.

Draught at the brewpub, 3/23/18.
Clear, light brass. White head quickly fades to ring.
Malt, spice, soft herbal notes are rather tame, as expected, but clean with light fruit in there as well. Light spice and seemingly quite dry from the nose with maybe a bit more bubble gum ester than I'd prefer but otherwise clean and with no alcohol noted.
Herbal notes mix with grass and soft, nutty, cream-of-wheat-like character. Moderate amounts of moderately-engaging carbonation with not a whole lot going on overall. Vaguely fruity, wheat-heavy, grassy and with more bubble gum lingering. Clean. Mindless. Drinkable.

8 oz. draft shared by ClarkVV at Vermont Pub. Clear pale yellow with little head. Aroma is nothing... Maybe straw if I stretch it. Flavor is real weak no matter what I type. Wheat, straw, and maybe a stale yeast. It was pretty watery and doesn’t have any really backbone or character. The most simple wheat ale any home Brewer could accomplish.

8 oz. draft at the source. Pitch is black with thin tan head. Aroma is campfire ash, mild roasted malt. Flavor is like licking a slightly dirty ashtray. Not offensive in any way but smoked malt is here in a moderate amount.

8 oz. draft at VP. Crystal clear golden appearance. Aroma is very mild even when warm. The flavor is the classic Cascade with a very subtle citrus. Bitterness is astringent and gets mildly harsh as it warms.

On tap at the source. A bit expensive at 5 dollars for an 8oz pour, But I was warned ahead of time by the bartender. Slightly hazy light golden with a thin white head. Earthy spicy with lots of diacetyl on the nose. The flavor follows, I have trouble avoiding the butter and finding anything of value in this beer. My second visit and I am so not impressed with this brewery, but the patio is really cool!
