On tap 1/21/23 at the source. Stemless wine glass in their cute six pack bake tin. Black, clear, boring, bit of sheen, edges of russet. Vanilla & peanut butter dominate the nose. Bitter peanuts, salt, obvious oats, margarine, mineral water, bit of staleness, mellow charred toast that lingers through the finish. Quaffable.

First beer of the day that's already listed. So excited. Stemless wine glass. Very clear, watered down Lipton tea. Lemon frosting nose. Taste is pink lemonade mix & ugly old ale, dusty concentrate & all. Bit of chemical lemon extract, nicely bittersweet. Overall is demi-sec or sweeter. More like Lemon Heads than Old Country Pink Lemonade. Crispy, slick, chalky, okay tartness. Pure novelty.

On tap @TP. The only place worth a $15 Uber. Stemless pour. Dull but sorta clear medium gold pour. Smell is floral & is mostly the cooked pineapple trying to supercede the wounded passion fruit. Taste is wine, apple, passion fruit playing second fiddle, pineapple juice, touch of grain, earthy bit. Coconut is lost in this acidic one, but it casts shadows. Missing that next note to get me contemplating. Thin, crispy, sharp, quaffable. Just needs some rum. Liked.

On tap at this stinky brewpub called Turning Point. Stemless pour. Hazy yellow gold pour, kinda still. Saline & apricot puree on the nose. Sour & kind of oddly fuzzy with another scent I can't pinpoint. Nice & refreshing Apricot that could be confused for plum or sour mango; solid tartness. Bit of lime building on the sharpness at the end. More fruit than I expected. Minerally. Obviously quite tart & enamel wasting, but not the worst. Low residual, prickly carb, middling for the abv. Good.

Turning point. Like a $15 cab ride from my office. Stemless wine glass pour. Hazy, yellow orange pour. Smelling anything but creamsicle involved getting a bloodhound out here. Quite a lot of vanilla. Bittersweet pith, lime leaf, earth Drying, yet... cakey. Is orange cake a thing? That's what this is, with loads of frosting. Edges are sharp & there's more acid then you think. Crispy enough, kinda slurry. Getting sloppy & excusing yourself kinda booze. Good.

On tap at the source. Stemless wine glass. Hazy, orangy turning a bit russet with a soft ring of lace. Smell is a bittersweet dusting of rind & berries. More than subtle, round, natural, makes me curious. Bittersweet, powdery & cautious pith, low tart, hints of green strawberry, sweet onion(maybe too much), indirectly floral, earthy finish. Quite lovely. Frothy, hidden acid, drying return, okay strength. Tasty.

On tap @Turning Point. 5oz stemless thing served in a six pack muffin tin of my other little mistakes. Pretty ingenious. Dark, black, possibly a bit of brown, wispy cocoa head. Coal, gentle sweet meat smoke, sharper wood. Sharp, sooty char. Serious burnt toast. Minerally, earthy bitterness. Very direct & lacking any angles. This style usually brings more to the table. Frothy, thin, feels heavier than the abv. Still okay to good.

On tap @Turning Point. Stemless 5oz pour. Opaque but not hazy orange tea. Orange citrus, lots of yeast, not much else on the nose. Taste is a bittersweet & yeasty mass of flaked cereal, humble spices, very sharp angles & lots of veggies bitterness. Middling banana esters. Leaning bitter with an inviting final dryness. Gunky as it warms. Potent as expected. Needs a bit more carb to penetrate. Good.

5oz stemless pour @Turning Point. Frothy, hazy, dark amber pour. More Cheerio than banana on the nose. Nothing special. Simple & subtle. Mellow upfront sweetness, like milk-dipped brown bread. Very faint roast. Some burnt brown sugar/candi. A little metal. Quick hitting classic phenols are gone in a flash, leaving a basic Newcastle behind with some lightly burnt plant material bitterness. Too thin, but bubbly & still drinks good.
