From barrel in brewery. Appearance is clear magenta with no sparkle or head. Aroma is tons of oak barrel and grape, milder tart fruit. Taste is moderately strong tart but balanced with the barrel and sweet grape so not over the top. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, interesting. Aroma could mellow a bit but the flavor is pretty well balanced.

On tap in pub glass from the brewery. Appearance is clear, golden yellow with nice sparkle, thin ring of off-white head with good persistence. Aroma is barnyard, manure. Taste is lots of pilsner malts and late funk. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, something in the aroma makes me instinctively want to turn away (from an evolutionary perspective) but it's actually quite good.

Taster pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is clear, very dark brown--like cola--with no discernible sparkle, thin, foamy beige head with excellent retention and light, soapy lacing. Aroma is strongly earthy and roasted malts. Taste is as aroma with light tartness. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a good representative of the style and good flavor for ABV, though I prefer a sweeter stout.

Taster pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is bright yellow with nice sparkle, thin ring of off-white head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma is grapefruit, fruit, mild herbal. Taste is grapefruit, sweet fruit, lemon citrus, hint of herb. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium body with soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, sweet but also mild herbal and astringency. Good.

On tap at the brewery. Appearance is pale greenish yellow with decent sparkle, thin ring of off-white head with no lacing. Aroma is lemon fruit and mild herbal. Taste is strong fruit loops. Palate is light-bodied with smooth, thin, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Overall, stays away from West Coast bitterness. Enjoyable.

Taster pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is cloudy yellow with no discernible sparkle, thin ring of off-white head with trace sparkle. Aroma is mild lemon citrus and fruit. Taste is as aroma, somewhat astringent, tangy, grainy, mild grapefruit. Palate is light-to-medium body with thin texture, soft carbonation and dry, grainy finish as taste. Overall, not quite as fruity/juicy as advertised and grainy backbone more apparent.
