Canned 8/9/25 10:29am, drunk 8/17/25. Kent Falls: now adding the time it was canned, too. On non-hoppy stuff, even. As if these guys couldn't get any better!
Clear, honey-brass-golden. Bright, with a frothy, white head that slowly fades to rocky cover.
Yeast and mild oak with big mineral and fruity yeast showing restrained, unripe stone fruit and unripe apple. Adding some honey-like malt on the end with more fruity yeast gives an almost oak-aged applesauce character. Hints of vanilla and spice.
Soft but with a good oak tannin structure that keeps it from getting too soft. Fruity and mild, with a big drinkability and lots of maltiness. Ends dry with bright, but not-overdone, herbal and peppery hops. Lingering malt, vanilla, acidity. Maybe a touch lighter bodied than I'd prefer, if we are nitpicking, but this beer takes you to flavortown, for sure.

375 mL bottle drunk 6/1/25.
Clear honey-brass with little head.
Oaky, cidery, juicy with excellent acidity and long grape character. Rich malts and more wood on the end.
Oak and grape with big malts and a juicy acidity. Balanced and mildly funky with wild cidery notes. Very low carbonation giving some syrupiness. Really interesting and unusual.

Bottle drunk 6/1/25.
Clear deep blonde-brass. Small, white head.
Nice fizz and no oxidation at all 7 years on. Caramelized honey, soft cultures, gentle acidity and high mineral water with rustic grains and easygoing Sacchs.
Soft and pleasingly tart with great balance and interesting yeast and grains. Soft and with fun minerality. Always a pleasure from Kent Falls.

Canned 3/20/25, from Harvest. Drunk 5/31/25.
Moderately hazy, golden-brass with a fluffy, white head.
Soft spice, tropical fruit, mineral and light white wine with narry an aggressive quality. Gentle honey-like malts balance.
Soft, round, but with balancing spiciness and bitterness. Supple malts balance easily and you're left with plentiful white wine, tropical fruit and zesty citrus. The softness of the water and mineral quality is remarkable. So flavorful and drinkable. Man, I miss this brewery ....

750mL bottle drunk 5/26/25.
Soft, brassy-to-pale-golden. Small, white head. Good clarity.
Grape doesn't jump out at you and there's good mineral and gently tart acids. Oak is neutral and balancing, with rustic grains of seemingly high attenuation. Very mellow, well-homogenized.
Similar in the flavor. Mellow, round, nothing jumping out or dominating, and no big acidity. But still pleasingly tart with light Riesling qualities and chewy, rustic grains. Dry.

Can drunk 5/26/24. Forgot to note the date, but from the fridge at Harvest Wine & Spirits Elmwood.
Clear amber-tan. Medium-sized, beige head.
Hint toasty with light caramel and nutty rye. Good base malt contributing bread and gentle honey suggestions. Clean with herbs and pepper from the hop.
Similar flavors with an excellent maltiness and attenuation. Nutty, spicy, with gentle fruitiness and lingering crisp, gently bitter hop. Fresh yeast and nutty malt with a hint of toast.

Eli Cannon's draught, 4/30/25.
Not quite clear. Small, white head, low retention.
Juicy hops showing lush citrus and tropical fruit with nicely balancing white bread/honey from the malt. Light mineral and easygoing melon.
Malty and soft but drying out nicely with honey, white bread and plentiful melon. Juicy and flavorful. Not leaning too far West Coast and the lovely bitterness keeps it refreshing and drinkable. Snappy, bitter, but amply-malted.
