Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish brown with a finger of beige foam that lingers. Coffee forward nose with some milk chocolate and faint roasted coffee grounds. Light and drinkable, coffee flavors on the palate. Good coffee and chocolate notes throughout. Well done and enjoyable brown. --- Beer merged from original tick of Oatmeal Coffee Brown on 02 Mar 2018 at 22:23 - Score: 8.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Grassy nose with some lemon zest. Clean and crisp....pils like malt. Dry and grassy, bit of twigs. Not a bad IPA at all, but I've had better from S&L. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pretty Yeast Machine on 13 Feb 2018 at 17:18 - Score: 7. Original review text: Grassy nose with some lemon zest. Clean and crisp....pils like malt. Dry and grassy, bit of twigs. Bitter finish.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Some light smoke and diesel aromas, light grapefruit as it warms. Thin on the palate, bitter. Feels kind of unfinished. Finish has a lingering sharp bitterness and grassy character. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tryin' To Find Jebus IPA on 27 Jan 2018 at 00:32 - Score: 7

On tap at Smith & Lentz, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with butter, with saison yeast subdued. Flavour is along the same lines, with diacetyl, saison yeast and bready malt. Some major issues here - undrinkable as is.

On nitro tap at Smith & Lentz, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and subdued floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with light citrus and floral hops, and a soft bready malt base. Reasonably constructed, but nothing special. Meh.
