Tap at the brewery - black pour with a small lace - aroma of bitter dark malt, baker’s chocolate, caramel, light salt, cookie - flavor is dry, bitter black malts and strong roast, but without the acid and astrigency that can come along.with these flavors - very mild salt and no caramel to speak of in the flavor - just tastes like a solid porter with a strong mineral character - very tasty.

Tap at the brewery - turbid gold - not your typical gose - no tartness to speak of - it’s actually fairly sweet - the nose has some nice tartness and a salty bite, but the flavor lacks much of this character - sweetness, moderate wheat, mild coriander - very subtle mineral - frothy carbonation - quite yeasty - disappointing.

Tap at the brewery - turbid gold - the fruit addition here.is subtle, which is why I listed it as a wheat ale - aroma is tangy wheat, lightly tart rhubarb, mildly sweet strawberry - flavor is mostly wheat, bready malt, mild yeast - very mild strawberry and earthy and tart rhubarb - interesting brew.
