Tap at the brewery - hazy gold - tart aroma of grape skin and pear - nice frothiness in the mouth - medium tart acidulated malt character - some white grape - soft wheat malt character - clean and refreshing, but not as complex as the better examples of the style.

Pint at the brewery - there’s not much better than coming home from the airport and grabbing an IPA at Station 26 before.heading to the house - I don’t even feel like writing about the.beer right now, but I guess I’ll say a few words - as usual with these guys, super clean malt base - assertive but not abrasive bitterness, especially in the finish, which is nicely spicy - the approach is.perhaps too sweet, a little sugary, but otherwise solid.

Tap at the brewery - hazy dark red - ooo, I really like the integration of the coffee in this one - the citric notes of the hops play well with.the lighter, more.fruity notes of the bean, and the heavier, darker tones of the bean work well with the malt character - creamy texture - medium sweet - spicy hop profile - notes of.vanilla and caramel, but no.heavy or sticky maltiness - the roast of the bean showw up and becomes a little much on top of the hop.bitterness, but otherwise interestinf integration of flavors.

Tap at the brewery - a hoppy-ass american wheat here - the use of lemondrop hops adds a quenching lemony/citric punch - wheat malt has a mild sweetness and creamy texture, bringing a finish the has the.overall impression of tangy lemon cream - nice warm weather beer - now.if only the.warm weather would actually come.

Pint at the brewery - clear dark copper - fairly clean and smooth hellerbock - nice, toasty vienna malt expression is really the showcase here, with touches of honey, grassy hallertau, a touch of green raisin, some spiciness on the tail end - warming finish has just a hint too much noticeable alcohol that lingers a bit on the palate - as it warms, though, this heat dies down and it’s just clean, rich vienna maltiness all damn day, son - really good.

Tulip at the brewery - I really appreciate the simplicity of the approach here - one malt (belgian pils), one hop (saaz), yeast, and candi sugar - it really allows the.yeast to be showcased well, and creates a subtle elegance that perhaps not everyone will appreciate, as they want a certain bludgeoning of the palate in such a strong beer - lightly hazy gold - nose has esters of pear and apple, white grape, grassy saaz, floral hoppiness, slight.minerality, very mild phenolics - flavor is.lovely, delicate, dry, and herbal/floral - nice to see in an american-made strong belgian - a nice saaz bite and moderate mineral create a nice dry spiciness - white pepper phenolics - pear esters, a touch of banana, but nothing strong - some sav blanc character - herbal finish - floral notes in the nose are a little soapy, but otherwise well-executed.

Pint at the brewery - dark copper with a frothy lace - toasty, biscuity malt nose, with some citric hop character and light ester presence - medium body - toasty, earthy, dry english maltiness, tasting almost like an esb in malt.character - an almost.leafy and mushroomy note - citrusy american hop character, but minimal bitterness - finish is a little watery and thin, with soke flavors of damp cereal grains - it’s decent.

Sample at Collaboration Fest on 03/21/2015. Brownish-amber color with a medium foamy light beige head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing. Roasted malt, caramel and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of toasted malt, earthy hops and toffee. The finish is sweet with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Sample at Collaboration Fest on 03/21/2015. Pours a slightly cloudy pale orange color with a medium off-white head that dissipates gradually. Short strings of lacing. Citrus, hops and pale malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, malt and fruity yeast. The finish is citrusy with a hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

An interesting and tasty iteration of this beer - has a bit more heft and a light sweetness - the adjuncts are.understated but make.their presence known - the vanilla adds nice aromatics - the citrus has a mellow.acidity that works.with the slight existing acids of the base beer and the gentle.savoriness/umami - light cocoa and lingering vanilla - tasty.
