Draft, US Pint into a plastic beaker at the top of the Space Needle, first ever beer in Seattle. Great view, beer was fine. Clean and clear golden body, short lived white affair on top. Dry feel, no real aroma, just a bog standard Pilsner really, slightly more hoppy than malty but nothing exciting about it apart from the location I drank it in.

Sample. Appearance: a bit hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma: pine, grapefruit, and something like unsweetened caramel. Taste: dusty, that unsweetened caramel, quite dry. Overall: ok.

Draft pour enjoyed at Chainline, Urban. Rating from backlog. Enjoyed this one shortly after the winter season last year. Dark, redish brown pour. Stocky leacing. Big caramel and whiskey nose. Smooth taste, with more caramel, spices, oak, cocoa. Very layered and flavorful strong ale. Nice warmer during the last few cold days of the season.

Draft pour at Chainline, Urban. Rating from backlog. Clean, pale golden appearance, active fizz head. Straw grain, subtle waxy notes. Touch of a corn note. Surprisingly east to drink. Tough style to really grab my attention, and make a memorable product, but I enjoyed this one. Refreshing, tasty brew.

Draft pour at Chainline, Urban. Rating from backlog. Cloudy, but bright orange appearance that matches the beer name well. Plenty of foam head and lacing. Cool, refreshing first sip. Wheat and a gentle straw nose. Flavor is a steady dose of mixed grains, wort lingering palate. Very flavorful wheat hale for sure. Unique option when the hop heavy hazies get too redundent. Enjoyed this one.

375 mL bottle poured, picked up at the brewery a short while ago. Dense, midnight black pour with plenty of cream foam head and patchy lacing. Love that these guys continue to make great, hard to find styles in my local. Subtle aroma of cocoa, and bready grains. Flavor is gentle, and agrees with the aroma. Semi sweet chocolate notes with a mild coffee roast. Smooth taste. Slightly sweet up front, a little more bold in the linger. Nice suble oak palate. Very enjoyable brew all around.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Chainline Urban. First visit! Also, it's already Maibock season. I'm so ready for some ball games and more comfortable outdoor drinking. Copper golden clean pour. Rhin oily head. Really easy drinking lager, flavorful, full of caramel malts, soft bready tones. Smooth finish. For lagers done right, visit your neighborhood Chainline. Fun collab. Very well made brew here.
