Draft at the source. From notes. Heavily bitter with citrus and tropical fruits. Not very balanced, but pretty darn good overall.

Draft at the source. From notes. Tart and sweet with loads of blackberries and a hint of earthy hops. Not my favorite style, but this was awesome after walking around in milwaukee for 2 hours with no liquid refreshment. Crisp and clean.

Tap at RBM. Unfiltered grey-brown. Sweet and rich, deep dark fruit tones. Rich, raisiny. I would have thought this was the Quad or Barleywine the way it drank.
