Pretty good effort at a traditional Bavarian hefe weizen. The aromas and flavors are right there plus a hint of some lemon. A little more head retention would be a big plus. But in any case, I'm liking it.

Draft. A- Lemon. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Lemon, meringue, pez, lemonade. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This had a lemon cream pie flavor for sure. Pretty nuanced but worked well. Would make a great summer refresher. Natural tasting.

Draft. A- Bland, malty. A- Copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Malty, caramel, bready, bland. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Really lacking flavor. Unexpected for Kros Strain, especially with barrel aging. I'd have liked some more complexity to it.

Draft. A- Sweaty socks, cotton. A- Gold color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Dank, citrus, sweat. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, dank finish. O- This smelled like a boys locker room. Both disgusting yet somehow delightful. Lots of dank flavors abound. Both loved it and hated it. At least it wasn't bitter.

Draft. A- Caramel, chocolate fudge, whisky. A- Brown color, cloudy liquid, tan head. T- Toffee, caramel, brownie batter, whisky. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Divine stuff here. I had Vol. 5 first and then came across Vol. 2 now, where are 1, 3, and 4? This tasted like a gooey caramel filled brownie soaked in booze. Just delicious and easily dangerous. Yum.

Draft. A- Funky, tart. A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Funky, oak, tangy. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bright finish. O- Lots of funk. Perhaps not what I had in mind for a Berliner but I enjoy it. I think with some raspberry this could be really really tasty.

Draft. A- Ancho chilies, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, tan head. T- Cinnamon, chilies, mild spice, subtle vanilla, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Kinda like a weaker less complex Xocoveza. Not bad but these mole stouts are a dime a dozen now so they need to be top notch.
