Brewery lukr 5/2/25.
Clear bright gold. Creamy, white head.
This smells incredible! Rich mineral/heirloom-like yeast and bright, herb-and-spice from hop with a smattering of delicate honey and sourdough from the malt. Clean, clear, aromatic.
Excellent yeast character with fresh plaster and rich minerality. Hints of honey with light baguette and cracker. Good depth without overdoing it on maltiness. Hops are flavorful and not too bitter. Crisp finish. Love the yeastiness. Love the amount of flavor for its size. This is exactly what I want out of a lager. Love the yeast focus most of all.

Canned 12/12/24, drunk 3/20/25.
Dark, clear. Tan head slowly to cover.
Sweet malt with nutty, vanilla-tinged oats and light acidity from dark malts. Richly malted with soy and chocolate.
Rich soy but just a bit thin. Or maybe not thin but not where I want a 7% stout to be. Tastes like 5%. But it's clean, not over roasted and balanced with a solid, light caramel and milk chocolate sweetness.

Canned 12/6/24, drunk 2/16/25.
Deep golden with brass tints. Large, white head, slowly to light cover.
Spicily-hopped, clean and malty nose with some rich, bread-and-honey from the malt and lingering herbal and pepper suggestions. Very aromatic and inviting.
Malty and rich, especially given its size, with baguette and honey-like notes from malt and spicy and herbal notes from hop to gently balance. Rich, deep, malty texture but pretty good attenuation, with cracker and bread and light bitterness helping dry the finish. Just a crazy amount of body and flavor for its size.

Canned 1/9/25, drunk 2/2/25.
Heavily hazy, peach-blonde-golden. Large, white head slowly to cover.
Floral and piney notes mix with mild citrus and a bit of softer papaya-like notes. Lots of honey and biscuit from the malt but not overly aromatic. Clean with the usual hoppy edge from CW.
In the mouth it's confoundingly dry, bitter, piney and heavily, heavily crackery. Just not enough deep maltiness, ultimately, despite everything else working just fine here. Lots of pine, floral perfume and citrus with a hint of juicy tropical fruit, but so sparsely textured with a ton of bland/dryness. Not enough comfort/depth/flavor for its size.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Cracker and sourdough aromas. Crisp and dry with sweet grain and straw upfront turning to tart sourdough in the dry, medium length finish.

Canned 10/31/24, drunk 12/10/24. Moderately hazy, brass-maize-golden. Large, white head, slowly recedes to cover. Fruity, lightly juicy nose with lots of citrus and light pine, but no twang/resin. White bread and honey base malts provide good balance. No onion/garlic, but lots of spicy lemon, lemongrass, light woody notes and mild pine. Tons of fruity, lightly juicy citrus and deep malts with good attenuation. Very good balance and flavor.
