Taster at brewery. Amber colored pour with a small head. This is just for the tick as the majority of the flight was served with oxidation in the lines, and I only had time to go back and review a few through clean lines.

taster at brewery. Golden pour with a small frothy head. This was the sample that prompted me that soemthing was off, and the culprit was oxidation in the lines. Had the makings of a solid pale ale, spoiled by the unclean lines.

taster at brewery. Hazy golden pour with a small soapy head. This pour was another affected by the oxidation, so it was spoiled. Will try to get back to correct this, but the server should know how to check their lines before serving.

taster at brewery. Near black pour with a thin beige head. Due to oxidation in the lines, this beer was just about undrinkable. It seemed to ahve tall of the right characteristics, but they were obscued by the oxidation. I did not have time to get fresh pours of each, so didin't get a chance at the real thing.

Taster at brewery. Pale golden pour with a small foamy head, so the color is a bit off. Aroma features the Belgian yeast notes, which follows through to the flavor. Not getting the pit fruit, raisin, prune notes, so to me this seemd more like a Belgian pale.

taster at brewery. Lightly coloudy body with a sofy, bubbly head. Aroma and taste feature hints at the Belgian yeast, along with some nice bready pale malts to provide the backbone. Sweet with minor yeasty notes.
