Pint at the brewery - dark amber pour - the lager game here, for the most part, has gotten pretty strong as of late - this is another solid entry - rich nutty and bready maltiness, tempered through the middle by some grassy hop bitterness - finishing with a slight acidity to cut the rich malt character - lingering leafy, autumnal qualities - nice autumn patio beer!

Pint at the brewery - dark ruby/brown, nearly black - nicely dry and roasty, with underlying notes of coffee - chai spices are present but don’t overpower or overshadow the malt character - light and easy drinking while being robust enough for patio drinking in the cool Denver autumn - pretty nice.

Pint at the brewery - hazy orange - really heavy on the cinnamon, clove, andvanilla character - moderate underlying pumpkin - tastes like the inside of a Michael’s craft store - pass.

Pint at the brewery - listed at 5.3% abv - clear amber - checks a lot of the boxes - rich malt character that still manages to be mostly dry and deliver a crusty bread fullness to the flavor - cleansing bitterness on the tail end so your tongue welcomes the next sip - really solid.

Tap at the brewery - dark ruby pour, no head to speak of - I appreciate that they went for a true to style lager version here - deep chocolate and vanilla character, caramelized sugars, blueberry, cherry - slight bitterness in the finish cuts the sweetness- it’s pretty good.

Can - lightly hazy gold - lively carbonation - nose is dry, crackery, floral, with a hint of minerality (quite lovely, really) - flavor is a bit sweeter than the nose suggests, which is a slight disappointment, but it still exceeds what a lot of other American-made pilsners are able to do - floral and grassy bitterness - finishes dry and herbal - needs some tweaking, but it’s still quite enjoyable.

16 ounce tulip at the brewery - lightly hazy light amber - dry but rich crackery malt structure - moderate bitterness and a light dusty yeast character - finishes with a lightly sweet bready malt - subtle but fairly nuanced.

Strong vanilla followed by marshmallow, chocolate and graham crackers. Exceptionally long finish. Full bodied. Excellent
