On tap at Off the Rail. Pours nearly black with a beige head. Very generic roast with some reeds on the nose. Tastes like grass that's been sucked dry of flavour. Generic and off-putting at the same time. I have no idea what the goal was here.

On tap at Off the Rail. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Lots of pineapple juice and some mango on the nose. Flavour has very little hop character, tastes more like cheap pineapple juice with other tropical fruits floating around. Minimal carbonation and low bitterness. Beer for people who don't like beer.

On tap at the brewery. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Dry grass and stale, skunky malts on the nose. Flavour has stale crackers, dead grass, and a thick fermented wheat thing that's not good. Pretty poor, skunky lager.

On tap at the brewery. Pours deep dark brown with a beige head. Lots of chocolate and cherries on the nose. Flavour has chocolate, dark cherries, gentle roast. Not a whole lot of depth, but does what it says on the box and is pretty drinkable.

4oz pour at the brewery. Pours black with a beige head. Dark chocolate and wafer on the nose. Flavour has roasted malts, dark chocolate, and straw. Pretty decent. Tastes somewhere between a schwarzbier and a proper stout.

4oz pour at the brewery. Pours black with a beige head. Fuck-ton of cloves on the nose. Flavour also a ridiculous amount of cloves. I could probably hallucinate other flavours here, but really this is a clove beer. I know "winter ale" is a bit of a gimmicky style, but is really pushing it.

4oz pour at the brewery. Pours clear pale gold with a small white head. Pale malts and a sweet citric hop character. Flavour has cracker malts and a slightly citric candied orange peel. I don't hate it, but not what I expected. More like a pale ale than a bitter, but what the hell do I know.
