Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: black in color with a finger and a quarter of khaki foamy head which settled down to a fine lace
Aroma: blueberry tart and sweet tones up front, light notes of dark chocolate, brown bread, and sour character; some lactose
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sour to tart and flanked nicely by the sweet vibes; finishes with the blueberry tart and sour character and a little bit of lactose
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; leaning towards being a sipper; some smoothness along the tongue but also some blueberry tart assertiveness
Overall: I don't see this as a porter but what do I know - it's still a nice fruited sour ale with blueberries and I'd have it again as that.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: glossy orange color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated somewhat quick to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart apricots up front, subtle grassy to hay sweetness; some lacto/sour character further underneath
Flavor: sour start with the apricots intertwining for some sweet tones; finishes apricot tart with sour settings and light lemony tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; light smoothness but also a speck of dryness and the tart and sour seems to be somewhat smoothed out
Overall: nice apricot tart ale, maybe a saison, maybe just a fruit ale, apologies to the Brewver editor possibly reading this to try and research this more to find out exactly the true style of this (I only know so much).

Modestly hazy golden. Lots of stone fruit juicy. This is a juicy ipa not a hazy. It’s ok

Drat. Light murky golden beer with a cream head. Citrus and summer fruit aroma with light sweet malt. Yeast and summer fruit flavor with light sweet malt. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Summer fruit and light sweet malt linger.

375mL undated bottle from warm shelf, drunk 4/14/23. Clear, pale-brass/blonde with little/no head. Cidery nose with still a trace of the fruit. Light and very much in the background but still imparting juicy aromatics. Bit of nutty rye with gentle lactic acidity lingering. Very clean. Soft, rye-heavy with a bone-dry character and yet still an appropriate texture. Maybe a hint of metallic yeast from the long, warm rest. Faint fruitiness and quite low on the acidity, though it's still pretty much ample. Spritzy, bottle conditioned carbonation is thoroughly excellent and really makes the experience, leaving it quenching and refreshing.
