On tap at Smuttynose - Hayseed, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out intensely roasted malt, with some sludgy notes and light cocoa. Flavour is anything but subtle, with a humongous wallop of chocolate fudge, roasted malt, and a little vanilla. So much going on here, with a fudgey finish. Excellent.

On tap at Smuttynose, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, stone fruits and light citrus. Flavour is along the same lines, with stone fruits, moderately dank hops, and biscuity malt. Not too yeasty, at fruity and dank; however, it's missing the depth of some of the elite NE IPAs out there. Decent.

On tap at Smuttynose, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of coriander, with light salt and some citrus. Flavour is along the same lines, with heavy coriander upfront, followed by light salt, citrus and a touch of lacto. This is a citric coriander bomb. Solid.

Taster pour at the source. Appearance is hazy pinkish-red (like a rosé), no sparkle, thick light purple head (but keg just kicked so hard to know how much was legit) with poor retention and no lacing. Aromas is light berry, wheat, yeast. Taste is mix of tart and sweet berry, with tart being more dominant. Palate is light bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation with mix of sweet and tart berry finish. Overall, avoids the one-eye-closing sourness of a typical Berliner Weisse and it is fairly balanced between tart and sweet, so for those that like a smidge of tart this may be good for you, but tart just isn't my thing.

Taster pour at the source. Appearance is hazy, straw yellow with greenish tinge (urine looking) with no sparkle, finger-width white head with fair retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is strong citrus with grapefruit, pine and mild tropical fruit. Taste is citrus, pine, grapefruit with cracker malt backbone. Palate is medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and dry, crisp citrus and cracker finish. Overall, it fits a NEIPA and ticks the right boxes but flavor/aroma aren't super strong. It's perfectly fine but pushing the envelope at all--seems like a safe NEIPA to appeal to the masses.

Pours virtually black from the bottle. Tall, frothy tan head that turns creamy. Strong notes of coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Then the floral notes, something sour, a bit vinegary, a light hint of brett. But overall much more of a typical stout aroma than I was expecting. Taste is sweet up front, full of heavy cream and chocolate. The sourness plays out at the finish, which is long and a touch warming. Body is quite thick with an oily viscosity. Overall very nice. A lot of stout-like flavors and yet very refreshing.

Yellow to orange and hazy with a foamy white crown. Aroma with elements of vinegar, citrus and funk. Taste is sour with a light acidity. Body stays fairly light, texture is watery. Not actually bad but totally uninteresting. The main thing inspiring me to finish the bottle is the €6 price tag on top.
