750mL bottle, courtesy of newcigarz, pours murky amber with a copper hue and a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sugary sweet brown sugar coated raisins, spicy black licorice, prunes and a curry spice note that is unexpected. The taste is similar with sweet maltiness, a bit of roasted malts, raisins, prunes and dried apricot. It then flows into a mild tannin like tartness and an Indian dish curry spice note. Very interesting indeed with its curry like influence. Not sure I’ve had something like this before.

Big thanks to markwise for hauling tons of beer across the country to GABF and to share on our wonderful beer bus tour on Friday. This puppy poured mahogany with a tan head of foam. The aroma is interesting with coffee, earthy malts, some mild fruity ester notes like red apples and grapes and then some cinnamon spice. The taste has the wine barrel tartness right from the start and moves into lesser amounts of roasted malts, ripe red apple wedges and a bit of yeasty spiciness. Cool stuff.

Sampled from the tap at the Cajun Cafe Fall Fest. Pours a clear pale golden amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of sweet wheat and some light sweet blueberries. Flavor again has sweet wheat with a bit more tartness from the blueberries.

Sampled from the tap at the Cajun Cafe Fall Fest. Pours a hazy amber with a yellowish brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has sweet grains and caramel with a thick sappy pine hop note. Flavor starts with more bitter pine has some sappiness and a bit of caramel in the finish to balance the bitterness.

Sampled from the tap a the Cajun Cafe Fall Fest. Pours a cloudy deep peach with an off-white nearly immediately to the edges. Aroma has a real nice full blueberry with an good amount of tartness and hint of acid. Flavor has less tartness but is still full of blueberries with a slight tartness coming out in the finish.

Shared by the guys on the brewbus, thanks! Pours a murky brown color with a small tan head. A very odd nose that could be described as fecal notes, or something akin to overripe fruit. A sour fruity mix with some vinous notes, a bit of earthy saison, funky almost. Interesting. I’d like more.

Draft at Stubbies and Steins, Gainsville. Filtered orange-tan-brown. Nice creamy white head. Respectable orange floral, fresh hop aroma. Clean, fresh, lots of hop flavor. Sort of like and amped up English IPA, East Coast style. Toasty golden malt, medium to full bodied, a really pleasant, well executed IPA.
