Draft at Flounder, 11/2/19.  Clear orange, white head.  Lots of wine barrel flavor.  Funky, brett.  Had this side-by-side with the Lunatic, and the wine barrel and funk completely override the underlying beer's flavors to the point you can barely taste them in this one. I like the result though.

Draft at Flounder, 11/2/19.  Murky light brown pour.  Tan head.  Roasted coffee and smoked malt.  Light caramel sweetness.  Clean and easy drinking with tons of flavor.  Apparently this is their wheelhouse, low ABV coffee and smoke flavors on point, because this is really good. One of the best brown ales I can recall ever having. 9/4/8/4/17

Crowler from the brewery. Murky gold-orange color. Strong honey presence, floral and herbal, citrus. Really drinkable. Like this one quite a bit.

Crowler from the brewery, purchased 8/24/19, consumed 8/26/19. Rating #8080! Unclear golden-orange, thin off-white head that leaves some streaky lacework on the glass. Bright, big floral hops, with some notes of mango, peach, and grass. Something vaguely honey in there as well - which also leans toward the floral side, and I seem to get that from a few of Flounders beers (even the one's that don't mention honey in their descriptions). Smooth and bright. Not perfect, but still really nice. Ultimately though, I could drink a ton of this, and that means a lot.
