Bottle. Bready fruity yeast, musty lemon aroma. Hazy golden with a large white head, nice lacing. Citrus, bready malt, clove flavor, and an herbal bitter finish. Light carbonated body, dry finish.

Pour is a bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is all hops and no malts. Flavor is about this same. A aggressive citrus hop with a little red grapefruit and big bitterness. Nice hop resin left on the tounge after the swallow. Alcohol is not detectable so this could be dangerious. Very solid.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of chocolate and roasted malt with a little coffe in there. Flavor is a little less intense. Still get a decent roasted malt with some chocolate milk and coffee but its a bit watery for my liking. Still a decent pick up and the low alcohol is a plus.

Pour is a cider lookalike with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lots of funk, white wine and lemon juice. Flavor is bretty with some citrus and a palate cleaning chalky malt. Not overly sour or bretty but just enough to make it above par.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is lots of pine hops with some malt. Flavor is about the same. Decent piney-citrusy hop with a decent malty backbone. This is quite decent with the hops really the main showcase.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours black with a brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of vanilla and bourbon with smooth roasted malts and dark grains. Flavor begins with earthy dark grain that is joined by a bit of smooth bourbon and vanilla.

Bottle. Banana, tart berry, wheat aroma, Hazy pink tinged gold with small white head, spotty lacing. Banana, clove, and a light tartness. Not sure if the tartness is coming from the yeast or the hibiscus. Light body, lively carbonation. I blend and drink quite a few of my own herbal teas, many using hibiscus. I really enjoy hibiscus flavor, and was disappointed that the flavor and aroma weren’t significantly present. Otherwise, I found it to be a very pleasant wit.

Draft with a burger and fries. Chocolate milk, malt. Flavor stays solid through the aftertaste. Good, solid stout. Very drinkable!

Capped 750 from Wine and Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours clear dark copper with a 4finger creamy beige head. Lots of fruit in the nose. Seems a mix of tropic, light pitted and citrus. Not getting caramel, but there’s lots of head in the way. Finally. The malt seems pretty roasty. Near full bodied. Flavor has a big roast malt backbone, but there’s a huge amount of floral, citrus and mixed fruit to hold it down. This seems very fresh and lush. I’m thinking it’s between 1 and 2 months old - based on memory of when it could be ordered. Some resin starts oozing into the mix. It’s hoppy plus, but it’s smooth not harsh and burning. Finishes hoppy and bitter with a little sweet backing. Brilliant effing ale.

750ml bottle from beernbourbon poured into a shaker. Thanks Vince! Pours a ckear dark gold with sbout a half finger of white head. Aroma is pine and citrus hops. Taste is medium bitter snd light sweet. Lots if pine and citrus with a dash of honey. Medium bodied with a slick yet creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. This makes me want to try even more of their stuff.
