Four pack from the source. Canned 7/23, Lo-ball at home. Viscous, slow-building head. Trying to compensate with a tall pour doesn't get me much. Clean copper body, sticky residual. Herbal sharp, sweet & buttered itchy toast. Bittersharp grain, premium lager, slight peppery lemon, bite-y herbal hop finish, menthol cleansing, minerally, lingering grain sweetness. Frothy & full till the end. Kinda good. Keep cold.

Tap at the source. Clear, pale honey gold, lacy pour at the source. Cheerio nose. Not much hop presence, yet. Breakfast cereal, light tea astringency, wintergreen herbal finish, punchy forest hops. Constant carb, sticky, a touch boozy. Decent++.

Dull brown on black, cookie head, default 5oz pour. Creamy, sugary, caramel cluster-candy bar, mallow. Leather, rich chocolate, Nutella toast, coffee creamer, bitter carob, bitter earth, moderate oxidation, obvious salty caramel finish. Heavy & acidic. Sloppy. Not all that good.

At New Origin, forgot why. Sitting next to a trio of women during unexpected trivia. One is talking about *not* having a UTI... I tried to focus on the tap list at hand. Oily, dark brown on black, thin & greasy cocoa head. Espresso bean & sweet corn nose. Intense amount of coffee & booze. Extra sharp carob coffee, nutty, semi-sweet leaning bittersweet. Crazy amount of caffeine spinning in my brain. Super acidy. Slight tea sweetness on the entrails. Okay, if uneven. I wonder if the atmosphere is throwing me off.

Can thanks to MicroGrog: Poured a coppery golden with a white whispery head. Aroma is crisp, malty, caramel, biscuit. Taste is malty, grain, full flavored.

Clear, oily gold pour, creamy bleached head. Incredibly bright orange-mango fresh fruit nose, 11/10. Faint aspirin bitterness upfront, a soft dusty grain & ghostly mango bittersweet middle, pushy carb, oily orange pith finish to dry it out. Really great.

Thin, matte black pour with brown highlights. Fumy cocoa confection, sharp vanilla & subliminal whiskey. Peanut-y, Kit Kat chocolate wafer, kinda bright acid, dusty-earthy, mildly bittersweet(leaning sweet) finish. Okay to good.

How many kegs did they make of this? On tap at the source, sunny & 82f today. 8oz pour. Very dark black & brown, oatmeal head. Oat-y, brown sugar, big buckwheat noodles. Sharp cola, charred marshmallow, lots of lingering vanilla. Lingering bittersweet grain with a twinge of char. Rum inspirational. Liked.

Clear, pale gold, very frothy, teardrop glass at the source during my fifty minute break. Starchy, earth, subtle but constant soft lemon. Bittergreen, crisp, dry brown toast, aspirin, soft & flat, watery 7up citrus sweetness. Lingering herbal. Thin, strong enough. Kinda good but they've done better.

8oz teardrop glass @New Origin. Dusty medium gold, mostly clear, drippy lace. Oat-y, honey nose. Bitter herbal & a little phenolic upfront. Starchy, honeyed, underlying acidity, noticeable paper & glue. Rare dud.
