Tap - before I ordered this, I did not realize that I’d had the base beer and didn’t like it - this is an improvement, but needs work - nose of raisin, fig, tamarind, oak, cab, light acid - watery texture, flabby and lifeless in the mouth - initially has a mild acetic/vinegar quality up front - middle is sweet, with brown sugar, tamarind, strong oak and wine character - finish has a moderate red wine vinegar character - well-masked alcohol, at least - needs work.

On tap @ the brewery. Golden orange appearance with a white head. Soapy, floral, light citrus, goopy, slightly dank aroma. Medium full body. Moderate high bitterness and sweetness. A little boozy. A little resiny, piney, caramel flavor. I can’t even detect the camomile. Forgettable.

On tap @ the brewery. Hazy dark brown appearance with a light brown head. The aroma is nutty, a little spicy, light celery, and some caramel. Dull carbonation. Stalky vegetables, grass, cooked veggies, and toffee in the flavor. Poor.

On tap @ the brewery. Hazy yellow appearance with a thin white head. Heavy clove and banana aroma with some pepper and bubblegum. Highly sweet. Somewhat boozy. Low bitterness. No balance. Flavor is all fruit- apple, banana, and pear. Not great, not awful.

On tap @ the brewery. A little hazy dark orange appearance with a light brown head. The aroma smells nice. Lots of juicy grapefruit, some tropical fruit like pineapple and papaya, and some hop spice. Medium body. Medium high bitterness and sweetness. A little goopy but not awful. Caramel, toasted malt, light pine, lightly dank, very citrusy flavor. Average ipa.

On tap @ the brewery. Black appearance with a creamy dark brown head. Light coffee, burnt, roasty malts, chocolate, earth, and light coffee in the aroma. Creamy mouth feel. Pretty earthy and full of milk chocolate. Hint of smoke. Fine.

On tap @ the brewery. A bit hazy dark orange appearance with a tan head. Aroma is goopy caramel malt, bitter bland hops, light banana, and some fruit. Goopy, overly sweet, and boozy. Some twangy, woody, tart notes. Fairly herbal. Thick sweetness. Caramel and burnt wood. High carbonation. Pass.

On tap @ the brewery. Bright glowing orange, cloudy appearance with a white head. Actually, kind of herbal/grassy bitterness in the nose with some pepper, lemon, orange, and banana. Moderate high carbonation. Bitterness is again pretty high for the style. OK flavor. Some banana and lemon with a light spiciness. OK.
