On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma is amazing - some oak, whiskey, red apple, caramel. Taste is just the same, quite boozy. Woody, whiskey, dry aftertaste. Wow - excellent and very good balanced stuff, despite quite high booziness.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a raspberry color with a white head. Aroma is just amazing, it brings loads of raspberry, red currant notes, and some lacto. Taste is pretty the same, very smooth, with a very good balanced sweetness and sourness. I have no words except - it is just perfect fruity sour.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a reddish color with no head. Aroma is similar to the cold berry and herbal tea. Taste is pretty the same with hips notes. Quite dry and a little bit dirty stuff. Not bad though.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma is funky with fruity sweetness and sourness. Taste is wild yeasts with melon (wow!) notes and hoppy bitterness. Same character aftertaste. Very good and enjoyable.

On tap at the brewery. Slightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is malty, slightly dirty. Taste is pretty the same with dirty notes and slight fruity hoppy bitterness. Strange stuff for North America, it is my very first time when I am trying a beer which is quite similar to the Ukrainian regional breweries beer. Not very good.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of butter, brett and caramely bready malt. Flavour is harsh, with subdued brett, alcohol, and nail polish. Another harsh and amateurly brewed beer. Very bad.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a cloudy amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dry bready malt and light resins. Flavour is quite dry, with woody dryness, with hop resins, maybe a little butter. Dry and astringent on the finish. Off the mark, but not terrible.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of juicy sweet pineapple and some dry biscuity notes. Flavour is more muted, with light juicy pineapple, moderate sweetness and a fairly dry biscuity malt backbone. Not much to speak about here. Inoffensive but pointless.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and light floral dry hopping. Flavour is rather harsh, with astringent dry hopping and dry biscuity malt. Definitely some sort of off-notes in here. These guys can't do anything right.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a red-tinged dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out subtle cherries upfront, followed by what seems like brett infection, and some toasted malt. Flavour brings out subtle tart cherries, some brett -- infected or intentional? -- and toasted malt. Definitely something wrong here, as the flavours don't mesh well. Not terrible but not good.
