Pours clear gold into a willi. White head with little retention crackles as it recedes to hug rim. Caramel and sourdough aromas. Spritzy with sweet bubblegum and banana front to back. Medium length banana finish. Weird.

Can at home late night. Beautiful night cap. Rich dark pour some head. Nose is dark bread, soy sauce, chocolate and some gingerbread. Overall the gingerbread is subdued but present in flavor, rich espresso and chocolate, soy umami. Hides abv pretty well. Enjoyable

Draft at brewery. Golden yellow beer with sudsy white top. Nose is malty and bready. Tastes full bodied and bready. Hint of floral and candy. Bock like. No spicing as I thought for Christmas brew.

Draft at the brewery with dinner. Big bright yellow and frothy white head. What a cartoon beer would look like. Nose is some bread and hints of citrus. Tatses of white breqd, grains, hay, some pepper, and lemon. Creamy bodied. Very crushable

5 oz draft. Flavor is equal parts, vanilla, cinnamon, and mild sugar cookie. Barrel character is low, but the brewery absolutely nailed it with the flavor profile. Never gets to suite which is a major accomplishment!

I haven’t been keeping up with jacks Abby so much as of late. Not sure what this series is all about. Anyways muddled yellow orange brew and smallish head. Nose is wheat and banana. Tastes much the same not pronounced like a Hefe. Some lemon and bubblegum as well. Lighter bodied

West Coast style hoppy lager 6.5%
Beautiful matte gold with wispy white foam and a stone fruit & herbal hoppiness. Good stuff.

Canned 9/16/25, drunk 10/21/25.
Light golden-blonde. Small-to-medium, white head, moderate retention.
Mineral and herbaceous hop with a bit of honey and biscuit-like malt with a touch of waxiness to it. Pepper and pencil shavings lingering.
Slightly fruity, very biscuity/crackery with more of the slight wax from the nose. White bread-like sweetness through the middle ending on mildly grassy, mildly herbal hops that exhibit low bitterness. Starts out with strong flavors, minerality, herbaceous hops, but sort of runs out of steam, ending rather watery and abruptly with crackery, underdeveloped malt.
