6.5/10 β€” Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Poured with weak foam on a dark brown body with slight muddiness. Smells of okay molasses and biscuit, seems a little thin. Taste is nice enough espresso and dark caramel, soft molasses. There's no sign of the alcohol, and it's actually a little refreshing. This is decent, well crafted.

Has modest foam on a hazy orangey gold body. Aroma is soft hops, if there's grapefruit here it's coming across like bubble gum. Tastes of tangy hops, the meld with grapefruit seems like rhubarb. Ends smooth with lingering citrus. It's okay, though the mix seems a little off kilter.

Poured with okay hazy yellow body and very modest foam. Aroma is nice peach and citra hops, working well together. Tastes of mellow peach, a bit of soft white grain, subtle but good ending smooth and easy. There's nice balance here, well executed.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a pale gold with moderate head. Aromas of grainy malts and with an apple/pear fruitiness. Flavors follow same; very prominent grain and fruity pears. Crisp with more fruitiness that a typical lager, but quite nice.
