Draft. Light amber body with a short, off-white head. Fruity aroma of cherry, apple along with bread, toasted grain, flowers. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Cherry tartness in the finish. Some peppery notes in the taste along with some floral hops. Too sweet for a saison.

Draft. Cloudy gold body with a fizzy, white head. Aroma of clove, fingernail polish, husky grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Tart finish, almost sour. Medium body, creamy texture, moderate carbonation. Slightly hot, alcoholic. And then there’s that chemical, solvent aftertaste. Where’s the banana? Bubble gum?

On tap at DeStihl. Murky greyed orange-tan. Thick white head. The bigger ABV enticed me to get a 12oz...they said it was 6.9%..Creamy, this is like a good strong Cream Ale, lots of vanilla, more so than banana. Not true to style, but drinkable. Sweet and sugary, not so impressive after a few sips.

On tap at DeStihl. Black, rusty beige head. Relatively soft mouthfeel, but rich luscious chocolate cocoa tones. Milder body than you’d expect with the ABV. Quite nice and roasty.

On tap at DeStihl. Amber-brown body, oily beige head. Straightforward and well done. Toasty malt tones, balanced by some piny hops. Average brewpub stuff.

On tap at DeStihl, Filtered orange-tan, thin off-white head. A really nice session beer, refreshing, with a bold hop character. Spicy, peppery, grapefruit..lots of hop depth. A really great example of the style. Clean, toasty.

On tap at DeStihl. Brown-black. Pronounced pumpkin pie spice aroma. Quite well executed. Not overbearing with the dark malts, just the right touch. One of my favorite pumpkin beers I’ve had recently.

On tap at DeStihl. Deep black body, lasting beige head. A relatively mild, doughy interpretation. Still has that thick peppermint patty flavor, minty. Subdued carbonation. Quite fresh, a nice straightforward beer.

On tap at DeStihl. Red black. This really tastes sour and infected. Its not paritcularly bad though, I like a sour Porter sometimes. Loses points for stylistic failure though, but gains them back for being reminiscent of the NG Old World Porter. Oily, sour residue in the finish. Odd, not so impressive.

On tap at DeStihl. Chunky brown amber, thick beige head. Smooth and true to style, creamy, thick yeast tones. Quite well done, very refreshing. Medium bodied, well balanced, a nice beer, but not quite World Class.
