16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks T. The flavor has a soft grain base, low bitterness, low sweetness, and a relatively clean finish. Wait, wait a second. They say coffee is in here?? I can’t find coffee anywhere. Wish that coffee was here.

Taster pour on tap at the brewery. It’s an opaque, bright milky yellow. Aroma is moderately strong vinous, tart quality. Taste is banana and late tart. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick, milky, frothy texture, soft carbonation and strong tart fruit finish. Overall, barrel and fruit more in the aroma. Taste not super banana but offsets Brett from getting super tart. Works pretty well.

4 oz. pour on tap at the brewery. It’s a dark yellow with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is mix of grape, citrus, mild herb. Taste is balanced grape, citrus and herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, it exceeded expectations with good strength and balance. Respectable NEIPA.

4 oz. pour on tap at the brewery. It’s an opaque black with ring of off white head and light lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt. Taste is strong earthy roasted malt with hints of cocoa. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with light roasted bitterness. Overall, conjures a dry stout but it's not earth shattering.

Draft at source. Rich and balanced sweetness with dark fruit and spice flavors. a little thin and needs some more malt nuance but a decent dark Belgian.

It's a fun beer. Wine and beer blend. Very grape wine, light and melony with a clean base Belgian Ale. Glowing pale color.

Can't really tell the difference from regular. Cranberry isn't a strong berry. Maybe a touch sweeter and tarter. Apparently cranberry syrup was added to this before kegging.

Draft at source. Tastes like a good try. Sweeter, lower carbonated. Very corky and fruity. Wet leaves malts. Reminds me a lot of the Hues from Mikeller I had the other day. 737314

Sampler at brewery. A dry paper yeast beer. Herbal light character. Better than the others bc it's different.

Sampler at brewery. Dim clear gold amber color. This beer has a Belgian yeast and tastes like the rest of the lineup otherwise. The Belgian yeast is only mildly fruity (rotten fruits) in aroma and flavor. Otherwise empty finish like the rest.
