On tap at the brewpub. Slightly hazy, coppery orange-red body, thin off-white head. Aroma of toast and sweet berries. Sweet body with berries and caramelized sugars dominating the palate, with little peatiness. Bitter, rindy hops develop and last well into the finish. Needs more earthiness or peat to balance the sugars.

On tap at the brewpub. Murky yellow-brown body, like a Celiac’s diarrhea, thin off-white head. Aroma with abundant esters (banana and clove) and toasty malt. The esters carry over that power to the body, adding light hints of pineapple in addition to banana and clove. Creamy body, rich. Little discernible alcohol. Not bad.

On tap at the Come Back Inn, downtown Madison. Dark black-brown charcoal body, thin creamy tan head. A rich stout with fair complexity, with big, sweet chocolates, roasted malts, and molasses. Nice slick mouthfeel with good heft. The kind of beer best in relatively small doses, to the tune of one to two pints.

Amber color. Flavor has hops and an herbal quality. Flavor has lots of hops as well, this is really more of some sort of pale ale rather than an amber. Some sourness in the flavor.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. This isn’t bad. Probably the best blond ale I have had. Cloudy gold color, minimal head. Aroma and flavor are of fermenting grain, which actually works for this beer.
