6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
On tap at the source. Slightly hazy light golden with and orange tint to it and not much of a head. Big peach on the nose and in the flavor with some light bready malt and a hint of aspirin in the finish. My least favorite beer of the day from them but still a decent drinker.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a semi-hazy golden yellow color with a brisk white little head that left barely any lace.
The aroma had some raspberry and blueberry up front playing with some sweet to tart notes of wheat. Ended with some grassy hops.
The flavor mildly blended the sweet to the tart and educated the aftertaste with a little bit of that sweet to semi-tart wheat kick that I normally like in \"Summer session American wheat ales.\" Finish was quick with a little bit of raspberry tart melding with the wheat.
The palate was almost medium bodied but sat just a touch under. Carbonation felt fine. Tartness wasn’t distracting.
Overall, pretty nice fruited wheat ale that I would have again.

The appearance was a murky dark red almost brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a mild pace. Super light lace, seemed barely there.
The aroma had some sweet grains, some herbal hop dryness, light floral, some butterscotch, escaping sweet nuts and damp wood.
The flavor was grainy sweet with some dry earthiness rubbing against the \"damp wood.\" Mild aftertaste was of the grains and damp wood. Finish was quick and malty.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Pretty smooth rolling around my tongue.
Overall, pretty good red ale, coming pretty close to style. I’d have again.

The appearance was a murky brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a good pace. Some lace, slightly messy.
The aroma had some sweet nuts with a delicate roastiness underneath, light amount of milk chocolate, mild dark chocolate and a subtle earthy hop bitterness.
The flavor leaned towards the sweeter side and developed some honey sweetness. Aftertaste was sweet through the honey and the chocolate. Finish was slightly sticky and sweet.
The palate was just a tad under medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good, pretty smooth all around my tongue.
Overall, pretty good brown ale that I could have again.
