Tulip at the brewery - turbid light orange - nicely understated for an American example of a wit (ie. Not overly spiced or citric) - medium dry wheat malt flavor - mild offsetting tartness and sweetness - citrus.peel.and.coriander.finish with some slight.peppery character - some melon and mild.herbal.qualities - good patio brew.

Tulip at the brewery - turbid ruby beer - nose is lightly medicinal, but only slightly so - notes of raisin, fig, some peppery phenolics, light apple esters - flavor is sweet, but tempered well enough by some spicy phenolics - the alcohol.presence is a bit high, though, making it a little boozy - some dustiness - raisin, date, overripe apple - slightly alcoholic finish - meh - not something I’d order again.

On tap @ the brewery. Clear, golden orange appearance with an off white head. Somewhat spicy hops in the nose. There’s some pine and dank notes along with a little fruit. Carbonation is a little dull. A little veggie on the finish. Dull flavor. Some bitter hops and bland malts. Uninspiring.

On tap @ the brewery. Clear golden appearance with a white head. The aroma has some candy, tropical fruits, lime, and something else I can’t quite place. Thin body. Dull carbonation. Kind of bland and corny with a little apple and a lot of grass. A bit sweet. Unique but I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. I’m leaving towards saying this is not bad and eminently chuggable.

On tap @ the brewery. Murky reddish orange appearance with a tan head. There’s some cough syrup in the nose along with dark fruits, caramel, brown sugar, and grass. Dull carbonation. A little goopy with high sweetness. Alcohol is noticeable. Kind of a gooey, brown sugar, apple, prune, pear flavor. Not awful but certainty the worst I’ve had here.

Who the fuck added this without the brewery name? Goddammit MJ. On tap @ the brewery. Deep reddish black appearance with a brown head. Molasses, some roast, and a bit of char. Smells clean enough. Dull carbonation. A touch nutty, slightly roasty, mild coffee flavor. The roast isn’t overpowering and the flavor is clean. Slight cola taste. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Not in your face like so many imperial stouts. Pretty damn good.

On tap @ the brewery. Cloudy light yellow appearance with a white head. The aroma on this is pretty cool. There’s an intense grapefruit / dank weed thing going on with some white pepper and pears. Medium light body. Low sweetness. Moderate bitterness. Very juicy and refreshing taste. Spicy and dank. Lots of grapefruit. Not a typical Saison but actually, quite fun.

On tap @ the brewery. Pours a clear dark golden appearance with an off white head. The aroma is clean. No harsh bitterness or goopy malts detected in it. Tropical fruit and a little bit of spiciness. The flavor is a bit on the sweet side. Moderate high bitterness as well. Neither the bitterness nor the sweetness is too bad but both seem a little much. Flavors of grapefruit, blood oranges, crunchy leaves, wood, and grass. The aroma was nice but the flavor is pretty run of the mill. Once it warmed a touch, there was a bit of diacetyl on the back end.

On tap @ the brewery. Milky yellow appearance with a white head. Aroma is pretty spicy, there’s some coriander, citrus peel, a bit peppery yeast, and some sweetness. Off dry. Low bitterness. Flavorful and easy drinking even if it’s a bit simple. Soft wheat, spices aren’t overwhelming. Lemon is forefront. A bit twangy. Some spices on the finish.

Tap at the brewery - black with a fairly thick tan lace - strongly.roasty - very sweet, caramelized sugar flavors - moderate coffee flavor - a touch of smoke- moderate alcohol warmth - a bit of raisin - kind of hot finish - finish is actually kind of abrasive and sharp - very rough around the edges.
