Nice! Fruity, good bitterness. Very pleasant surprise!
Bit of cola or something there. Herbal element.
Quite nice. Bitter, bit of fruitiness, something floury. Interesting. Yeasty maybe. Touch of Belgian feel to it.

Reddish brown with a tan head and an earthy biscuit & rye like aroma. The taste is earthy biscuit, full bodied with some herbal hop notes and a crisp finish. Nice stuff (disclaimer, by this point in the fest I was getting a bit loaded). 3.6

Tap at CBL 2017. Clear copper with a dense beige head and a floral aroma. The taste is biscuity with a slight diacetyl butteriness. Meh but much improved over the last time I had a beer from them.

Pitch black with a rusty tan head. A BBQ sauce, soy and chocolate. Very dry, sharp carbonation and the light body is disgustingly metallic, chocolate syrup and off with buttery diacetyl and burnt rubber. Horrible.

Tap at the brewery as Summer Golden Ale. Lemony hop nose, minerals. Hazy gold, effervescent, wiht a low fine head. Minerally, bitter, dry flavor, light lemon and a touch of veggies. Light and refreshing, a bit spritzy.

Dark amber, weak head. Very toasty kind of burnt plastic on the nose. Very toasty palate, again more burnt than anything else. Look past the lack of clean and it’s passable.

On tap at the brewery. Golden and hazy. Weak head. Aroma has a lot of amarillo. Moderate bitterness and light berryish fruits.
