Sampler at brewpub. Hazy darker dull golden. Aroma is present tea like but not poor tea, generic hops and a slight sweet oil hoppiness that I really enjoy. Flavor again a slight sweet hops with a well attenuated, not sweet malts but his. Drier end with a hop tingliness.

22oz cool bottle. Pours a reddish amber color, too dark to see through. Aroma is light hop,light fruit alcohol and a dusty malt. There is a faint astringency but doable. Surprisingly balanced. Body is light. Slightly marmalade, light sweet fruit malts. A nice balanced yet American barleywine.

22 Oz odd shaped bottle shared by Eugene. Thanks! Pours a reddish orange come with a thin patch head. Nice, oaky, spicy malt aroma and flavor. Finishes dry and woody. Not bad at all. Enjoyed this.

22 oz. bottle, pours a clear dark orange with a small white head. Nose brings out oak and alcohol upfront, with some nail polish as well. Flavour is very hot, with oak barrels and loads of alcohol, followed by wood. Quite hot, with a spicy woody boozy finish. Not very complex, finishing woody, boozy and lightly fruity. Not very elegant. Needs refining.

Sampler at the brewery. As advertised and completely not for me. Not sure how the brewer stressed the yeast to create an appley ester but its seems like he was able to. Otherwise clear and clean as per the house style.

Sampler at brewery. I really like this beer. Weedy hops aroma followed by stronly toasted and lightly burnt malts. Love the malt character, which dominates the flavor and hops fall out. Low bitterness, dry clean finish, as the norm for Standard.

Sampler served on nitro at brewery. What can I say, its as good as a cream ale can get. No corn flavors, clean for style, light and full of generic yeast flavor, and a faintly spice rye finish. Clear and nitro head. Its not novel, its to style, and I could see myself buying this for a non-beer geek party.
Had another batch without nitro, which is preferred.

Sampler at brewery. As per usual for Standard Brewing, the beer is clear with a strong head and lots of lacing. Aroma is herbally, vaguely nobley, dry moderately hops, very clean malts. Flavor follows suit, emphasizes the hop. Its an interesting hop, weirdly green, noble, faintly apple. Its does what’s intended and keeps sweetness out. Its not my fav hop profile but the malt and yeast (neutral and muted) character is perfect for me. To me it seems that the Calypso is more prominent than the Mosaic.

On tap at Standard, pours a clear golden orange with a small beige head. Aroma is very fruity, with red fruits, rye, and spicy hops. Flavour is very fruity, with loads of resinous hops, red fruits, and light spiciness. Wonderful balance and not too abrasive. Excellent stuff.

On tap at Standard, pours clear amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out cereal malts, some candied sugar, and some medicinal notes. Flavour follows suit, with candied sugar, medicinal notes, and cereal. Not brewed to style at all and too sweet. Decent.
