7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8
Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: chill haze looking dark copper color with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart blueberry skin and flesh up front with a subtle sweet wheaty malt tone underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality as the tart qualities are pushed further underneath; finishes mostly leaning into the blueberry sweetness with a touch of the tart tones of the blueberries
Texture: light to medium bodied, pretty sessionable; good smoothness with nothing bothersome - just a great natural flow; good carb level
Overall: nicely done fruit beer but then again of course I would say this since I love blueberries.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to copper color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to light piney hoppiness up front with a light coriander spice under that; then some clean biscuity malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty and hoppy quality with a lighter spicy note of the coriander; finishes mostly malty and hoppy sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sessionability; some smoothness and the coriander seems fairly restrained here as to not really upset the balance of the smoothness; good carb level
Overall: pretty nicely done APA with the coriander pretty much only showing it's face in the aroma and just a pinch in the flavor. I'd return to this.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange to almost copper cloudy color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney and orange hop-like notes; subtle malts in the background
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to subtle zesty to light bittersweet quality; finishes dry and bittersweet
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of chalky dryness, good low carb
Overall: aromas are fine and the flavor is good but clean up some of the dryness in this one for this to be heck of a lot better.

Can to stange.
Appearance: deep yellow cloudy color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet floral to slight earthy hoppy tones up front with a clean crisp biscuity malt backbone and a touch of honey in there for balance
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet floral and clean sweet malty quality; finishes crisp with light honey notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; great smoothness running about the tongue; good carb
Overall: pretty nicely done Kolsch and modernized with a touch of honey to it. I'd return to this.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: burnt orange to copper color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and earthy coffee tones up front that seem to intertwine with some citrusy hop notes; super light malty backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to an earthy coffee sweet to mild citrusy hoppy sweet to bitter character; finishes citrusy and somewhat like cold-brew coffee
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium bodied, semi-sessionable; good smoothness with a light hop bitterness assertiveness but nothing burdensome
Overall: not bad, I must say it's quite an interesting concoction but I do remember the brewery called the Beanery in South Vermont used to do beers like this.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy chill haze amber color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: holy buckets full of berries! Sweet and tart, full and aromatic with the strawberries probably coming through the strongest
Flavor: seems to be more of a balanced mix between all those mentioned berries 14th Star says there is - sweet but more of a subtle tart now; finishes mostly all those berries with a controlled sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with a little bit of tart nicks to the tongue but nothing burdensome
Overall: pretty nicely done kitchen sink of berry goodness of a beer I think I could come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: red raspberries, sweet oranges and some floral tones; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bittersweet sort of quality; finishes leaning into the raspberries & oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting anywhere, nice carb level
Overall: nicely done flavored IPA that's for a great cause. I would have this again.

Bottle to English pint glass.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a three finger off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely and left some light lace
Aroma: big sweet milk chocolate tones with some vanilla and slight roastiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality; finishes milk chocolatey forward
Texture: light to medium bodied; somewhat sessionable; great smoothness and good even flow along the tongue of everything. Good carb
Overall: a very nicely done milk/sweet stout worth coming back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to orange cardboard color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy sweet hops with some grapefruity rind hop bitterness; light bursts of piney hop scent with a swift orange-rind like hoppy note further in there; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine intertwining of those hop bittersweet qualities while pushing back the malts a bit but I didn't mind as it didn't upset the balance too much; finishes semi-dry with a touch citrusy hop zest
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop bitterness assertiveness; however, to me it's pretty non-offensive
Overall: what a nicely done pale ale that packs a ton of flavor in a less than 6%-er! I would come back to this.

On tap at 14th Star on 02/09/2019.
In some kind of glass they made up.
Appearance: dark brown color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: woody sweet nuts with some maple sweetness and caramel/toffee malts; earthy hop tones further down in there
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet nutty to sweet malty conglomeration; finishes with an earthy nutty to slight maple-y tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness with a little bit of earthy grit seemingly wanting to nick the tongue ever so slightly but honestly, it's pretty faint and non-offensive
Overall: mostly a pretty good English brown ale with some maple in it. 14th Star is not ashamed of putting maple in a lot of their beers and I don't see anything wrong with that as long as they do it right and don't get excessive and make it cloying.
