On tap at WABF 2024, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is on the sweet side for a Vienna, with bready malt, caramel, and some toffee. Flavour is also on the sweet side, with caramel and bready malt. Finished with toffee. Okay.

On tap at WABF 2024, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is old school, with extremely bitter resinous hops, bready malt, and caramel. Flavour is both bitter and sticky, with lots of resinous hops, caramel, vegetable bitterness and stickiness. Very old school but with some undesirable notes. Not good.

Draft pour pint at Beardslee. Juicy golden orange haze, thin head, sticky lacing. Very impressed with this brew. Juicy hop flavor, cool refreshing, but mild as an overall making this easy to drink. Then I saw it was near imperial. No way. Orange fruit, citrus, melon nose. Slick taste, cool creamy finish. No burn. No crap. Excellent example of how the style should be. Excellent hazy brought to you by Nelson Sauvin hops.

Draft pour at Beardslee, enjoyed in a tulip. Dark reddish brown allegiance, thin film head that fades. Delicous quad here, and very easy drinking. Smooth taste, caramel, dark fruits, a bit of a tingly malt finish. Sharp dark fruits, somewhat aggressive, but ultimately, this quad is smooth and delicious. What a treat!

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Beardslee. Much juicier and thicker than the appearance suggests. Come what closure golden orange appearance. Rocky foam head, sticky lacing. Juicy, creamy vanilla and orange. Named very appropriately. Fruit forward pale, but not sweet. Smooth taste. Juicy orange finish. Really refreshing brew.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Beardslee, Bothell. Jet black pour, thin cola fizz head. Huge toasty malts Jose. Really bold and inviting for the dark beer enthusiast. Cocoa, and bold toasty malt flavors with a hint of caramel. Long lingering flavor with this one. This one seems to have lightened down to 6.2% over the years, but didn't sacrifice any flavor. Very nice brew.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Hop and Hound, and enjoyed at Beardslee last week. Another collab I'd never guess, but glad it happened. Clean golden orange pour. Grain forward nose. Touch of orange. Flavor is floral, ester. Sharp taste up front. Touch of orange sneaks in barely, a lot like the aroma. Some tea like quality. Unique brut. Good stuff.

On tap @ Sport, Seattle. Ambar nebulosa. Aroma resinoso, con notas frutales. En bica mantiene tono resinoso, bastante amargo. Naranja amarga, pomelo, recuerdo a melocotón. Intensa.

Draft pour, enjoyed at Beardslee. German lager with all WA ingredients. Had to stick to my love for local local brew on this one. Pours a mostly clean golden pour with a lasting thick foam head. Moderate to soft aroma of a smooth, bready malt. Flavor is no shortage in this lager. Tons of malt flavor coming through. A filling feel to this. Thick body. Somewhat sweet. Good beer here.

Draft pour pint at Beardslee, before it ran out, thankfully. I absolutely love pepper beers. I love finding pepper beers, especially when it's by accident. It was a slow year around here for Cinco de Mayo pepper beers, unlike other years. Everybody did Mexican lagers instead. Bummer. At least someone gets it! A cloudy golden pour, a touch hazier than the base pils. Mousse foam head. Aroma remains settled on the pils grains. Peppers are there, but they don't scream on the aroma like others in the style. Flavor up front is a splash of cool and refreshing lime. A like dunked pils flavor up front. I was worried the peppers didn't make the impact I expected, but they come through later in the palate. Really interesting beer here. At first, all you get is lime, but by the finish, all you get is peppers, and pretty spicy too. A constant flavor transition in the process. Overall this is a good balance of like, pepper flavor, pepper heat, and pils grains. It doesn't completely abandon the base, which I like. Pepper doesn't overpowering, which is good, though I personally wouldn't complain if it did. A great beer overall, and one that fits my type of beer nicely.
