Tulip at the brewery - hazy light gold - a Brett saison with galaxy hops can be dangerous - the Brett combined with the hops can create a cattiness to the flavor that I am certainly detecting here - it’s light, crisp, with a lovely frothiness to the texture, but I am not a fan of how these hops are playing with the mild Brett character - meh.

Pint at the brewery - dark Amber pour - nicely executed rendition, with a lot of rich malt tones of dark bread and caramel - light, bright fruit notes - some leafy, almost smoky earthiness - finish has a mild acidity that cuts the maltiness and gets you ready for another sip - solid.

Tap at Coda - listed at 5.9% - nothing at all kolsch-y here - very heavy of the.fruit.- turbid orange pour - nose amd flavor are heavily tropical, with strong grapefruit-like flavors (including the bitterness and acidity), mango - surprisingly bitter, especially in the finish, which has strong pink.grapefruit and a weird funkiness to it - very bitter and acidic finish - I like this brewer, but I do not like this beer.

Tap at the brewery - turbid glowing orange - a very solid wheat ipa here, with a lot of juicy and tangy citrus compexity, soft wheat ale texture, dry, crisp, crackery character late, fresh, zippy, peppery hops on the tail end, followed by a tangy, mildly acidic finish - lingering notes of bread and grapefruit - another solid offering from these guys.

Tap at the brewery - hazy orange - smells dank as all get out, but what really sets this apart is that the malt adds just as much depth of character as the hops and balances their bitterness nicely - the malt is deep, dry, earthy, and almost whiskey-like in character (perhaps some golden promise or something similar) - the hops are certainly showcase (citric, highly bitter), bit the malt character makes this a balanced and enjoyable drinking experience - I continue to be impressed by this brewer.

On tap @ Coda. Pours a milky yellow orange appearance with a white head. Heavy tropical fruit, passion fruit, guava aroma. Very juicy with a bit of funk. Quite juicy. Slightly tart. Pretty refreshing. The name is Coda Sleepyhead Passion Fruit Imperial Kölsch. Probably should move this to fruit beer.

On tap @ Coda. Pours a burnt orange appearance with a tan head. Caramel, toasted malty, a bit grainy, orange citrusy aroma. Kind of thick body. Lots of honey in the flavor. Tangerine, orange flavors. Not too shabby.

On tap @ Coda. Pours a hazy golden appearance with a creamy white head. Grapefruit, citrusy, somewhat spicy aroma. Moderately bitter. Kind of chewy mouth feel. Pretty juicy flavor. Lots of citrus. Ok.

Tap at the brewery - dark gold with a thick, soapy lace - nose is fresh citrus.zest, peach, melon - light, refreshing, dry and tangy - fresh citrus peel, moderate bitterness - the orange blossom honey is understated, adding a subtle floral earthiness and a touch of sweetness on the end - nice refreshing summer brew.
