Draught at the brewery
Brown color with creamy beige head, a bit less than the usual nitro head. Light aroma of dark malts. Dry mouthfeel; mild flavor of chocolatey, dark, dusty malts, could fit the bill for some dry Mild Ale; very light fruity esters in the final add a bit of freshness. Correct bitterness.
Nice beer.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy light amber color, bright, with small compact head. The ginger is evident, both aroma and flavor, candied ginger, not spicy; the mouthfeel is dry, there is a good malt trace, biscuity, and no clear evidence of honey.
Gracefully brewed, although it’s not my kind of beer.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, light resin, and light caramel malt to back. Flavour is a diacetyl bomb, with buttery infected notes, piney notes, and buttery malt. Clearly infected - let's hope they clean this up. This shouldn't be sold.

Draft - Little briny and some fruity notes. Pale gold with a decent white head. Fruity and a little skunk and brine. Not my favorite.

Draft - Raisin and a bit of dried fruit. Cloudy copper with a rich beige head. Dried prune, light prune and malts. Not bad, but maybe a bit to light. I like my milds bold.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out light smoke and dry light cocoa. Flavour is lightly smoky, with toasted malt, dry cocoa, and a crisp astringency on the finish. Well-designed porter with just the right amount of smoky bite. Good stuff.

On tap at Off the Rail, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal hops, and some soapy detergent-like notes - something wrong here. Flavour doesn't reveal as many of the off-notes thankfully, with soapy floral hops and a dry biscuity malt content. Finishes slightly astringent. Not very convincing - needs work, but it's not bad.
