Brewery draught, 7/15/22. Lightly hazy, brass-lemon-golden. Small, moderately well-retained, white head. Big mango-papaya and light pine with strong honey-like, cakey malts. Clean, though maybe a touch of soapy acidity. Sweet and malty with a big back drop of hops and growing acidity. Maybe a touch cakey and sweet, and the hops are a little disjointed, adding close to too much acidity on the finish. But it's again clean.

Draught at the brewery, 7/15/22. Clear, blonde-lemon with a medium-sized, white head with moderate retention. Malty, spicy and clean with honey and white bread and fresh herbal hops. Lemon, honey, white bread and fresh herbs with good malt depth leading to great attenuation and crisp, dry, mildly hoppy notes on the finish. A lighter, but still malty and satisfying example. Very clean. No alcohol noted.

Draught at the brewery, 7/15/22. Mostly clear amber-copper with a medium-sized, fairly-well-retained, off-white head. Light citrus, hints of pine with strong honey and light angel food cake from the malt. Strong spiciness as it warms with lemon and no alcohol or flaw noted. First few sips and I immediately think it's too sweet, but the hops arrive just in time, and not too heavily, balancing nicely. The sweet malt up front, as well, isn't sugary/cloying, but rather rich and dries out on the end. Soft, malty texture with plentiful hop balance. Over the course of the glass, I really come around to liking it quite a bit, deciding it to be very malty, but not too sweet. Clean, hoppy, crisp on the end.

Half pour at the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy golden yellow with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head fading to a ring and nice lacing. Aroma is almost absent. Mild west coast aroma—can you smell bitter? Resin and light malt. Taste is subtle—mainly bitter resin with cracker malt offset. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish with sweet cracker then intensely bitter. Overall, old school. Not what I want to drink. Subtle and too carbonated. Didn't finish.

Half pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is dark, dark brown (virtually opaque) with decent sparkle, finger-width beige head with fair retention and nice leggy lacing. Aroma is subtle earthy roasted malts and chocolate. Taste is strong chocolate and dark fruit; later toffee. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice chocolate and dark fruit/berry element. Carbonation distracts.

On tap at the source. Just a bit of haze in a brick red beverage with a short bubbly white head that dissipates rather quickly. Sweet and tart raspberry dominates this wine cooler of a beer. Pretty tasty though.

On tap at the source. Mostly brilliant light gold color with a decent sized long lasting bubbly white head. Crackery bready maltiness with a floral spicy hop to counter.

On tap at the source. Deep amber color with a frothy off white head that persists. Bready toffee fruity and caramel maltiness is all wrong for this style, it should be bready crackery toasty with some melanoidin. Call it an amber ale and I'd score it higher the flavors are clean just not right for an Oktoberfest.
