Light aroma of wheat and grassy hop. Maybe floral hop. Hazy light gold color, with very little white head. Lightly carbonated, but it has a bite. Medium mouthfeel. It hints of a Saison. There seems to be significant clove. Arguably lemon. The finish is mildly bitter, and carries a little herb/veg. I just had a Saison, and I really think this has similarities.

Aroma of medium brown malt backed by non-descript hop. The malt seems dominant. Brassy color with a white head that left tatters of light lacing. Bit thin in the body. The carbonation is sharp. Something of a citrus impression - like sour fruit. That’s not bad, just different. There’s a fruit/veg note to the fairly dry finish - sort of a mouth coat. A note of citrus sour to the back of the mouth. Bitter is sort of a background to all that. Lots of pejorative terms above, and they really aren’t intended in a bad way. It is a different and interesting ale. Very quaffable.

Bread and yeast aroma. A bit like banana bread? Underlying piny hop. Clear amber color with a white head that laces slightly; very slightly. Starts a bit thin but firms a bit as the carbonation leaves. Has some citrus and pine along with some malt that gets stronger. The finish is kind of leftover citrus, a bit of bitter, and a little sweetness, but not much.

Bottle Pours a hazy orange light amber with a very modest head. Quickly settling to a thin white skin that stays and leave nice sticky lacing. Odd aroma of light fruitiness, apricots maybe, and some orange and peach. Very light grain malt notes and very litte hops. Flavor is light and pale malt with faint bitterness. Very smooth and creamy palate and light carbonation. The ABV is somewhat apparent but this goes down very nice.

I thought this was a barleywine. Very well hopped with floral and bitter hops in the aroma. Some sugar in the flavor, and medium bitter hops. Almost no carbonation.

Bottle Pours a hazy golden oprange wth a small off white quicj\kly dissipating head. Lots of citrusy grapefruit hop aroma nd some sweet carmely slightly wet cardboard malts on the nose as well. Flavor is not exactly a sensory explosion. a bit sweet, fairly bitter and a bit underwelming. The lingering bitterness in the trailer made up for some of it. More late hops would do this wonders I think Under carbonated as well. .Possibly an old bottle here. I haven’t had a 10% IPA this quafable though in a long time.

Bottle Pours a clear deep mahogany witha small tan head. Nce thin but persistant sheets of lacing. Lots of malty aroma and little hops. Flavor was full and malty, again not very bitter but lots of rich malty flavors. Palate was heavy and smooth and the finish was very full bodied. Nice.

Bottle pours a hazy light yellow. "Blonde" I suppose. Very slight white head that quickly fizzles out and only a few traces of lacing. Aroma is standard wheat malts and a little leamon zest. Flavor is standard wheat but with some european yeast characteristics. German Hef or Wit.
