Draft pour pint at the Elysian Bar, SeaTac. Somehow avoided rating this over the last while, though not surprised, I had enough time to search around for new rates while waiting for a flight. Pours a clear pale gold. So clear I wish I could tag this hazy rating with a photo. Looks like the big name, same name, light pale lager next to it in the tap handles. Thin head. Modest, near absent aroma of soft grains and juicy fruit. Flavor is light as well, with a cool constant, slight citrus with no bite on the end. Bland IPA for me, though has a few decent qualities. Some melon linger. Alright.

12 oz bottle, 2020 vintage, poured. Best by 12/15/25, listed at 13.8%. Dark brownish pour, thin head. Big bold bran, dark fruit, and whiskey notes. Lots of barrel on the nose. Flavor is surprisingly smooth for its strength, and I'm sure the 3 years has don't well for it. Big malts produce a soft sweetness, but its buried with barrel. Overall an awesome product here. Probably my new favorite offering from Elysian since after they did that thing. Excellent BA barleywine.

Sraft pour pint at Snohomish Golf. Somehow found a way to avoid this brew for a few months now, but ended up in an it's the only one I haven't rated scenario. Dense peach juice haze. Tons of pineapple on the nose. Flavor is barely sweet tropical fruit, mostly pineapple, with some lingering hop burn. A little chalky. Props to mcberko for introducing me to this sub-style
