Draft: Poured a light beige color ale with red haze and a nice foamy head with good retention. Aroma of fresh raspberries with light tart notes. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some fresh raspberries with light tart notes and a medium bland malt backbone, which is not a bad thing considering the focus is on the fruit. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but not great either or maybe I had higher expectation.

Draft: Poured a hazy dirty beige color beer with a large foamy head with good retention. Aroma of wheat malt with light pleasant tart notes. Taste is also a mix of refreshing wheat notes with great tart notes though not as dominant as I would have liked. Body is quite full for style with good carbonation. Well done thought more tart notes would have provided more enjoyment.

Sampled on tap at Max’s Baltimore. Pours a medium bodied, deep brown with one ring of beige head. Aroma is a nice mix of coffee, nuts, milk chocolate, lightly smoky, almost like a good BBQ sauce. Flavor is sweet, malty, dark bread, milk chocolate. Finish is watery with a touch of coffee bitterness.

Draught at Churchkey, recommendation from Sam. Clear orange, white edge head, good lacing. Aroma is sour orange peel and bubblegum, very nice. Taste is disappointing, sour start followed by unbalanced sweet bitterness. Oh well.

Bottle: Poured a dirty amber color ale with a super huge off-white foamy head with great retention and some perfect lacing. Aroma of caramel malt with a dry aftertaste and no hops are discernible. Taste is also dominated by some somewhat boring dry caramel malt with no floral or hoppy notes. Body is about average with perfect carbonation. Forgettable at best.

Bottle: Poured a hazy amber-orange color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cat pea and dry hops which is somewhat reminiscent of Orval. Taste is also a strange mix between some dry European style hops with some funky Orvalesque notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Bottle had kind of aged and developed an Orval like infection which was very interesting though necessarily voluntary.
