Looks like Proto Pale is back! Years of retirement, and an itch to come back. A clean and clear golden pour. Rich malt, grassy hop aroma. Flavor is cool, clean up front. Biting hops, smooth but thin caramel. Moderately bitter finish. Good pale.

Draft pour pint at The Collective. A clean and clear, shiny copper golden pour. Attractive beer that has the look that it won't last long. Malt heavy aroma that is both sweet and spiced, but mild in each. Flavor fails to be sweet, which is nice. A light bready malt. Cool, clean, and refreshing lager. I remember trying this in the past, and having it leave no positive impression. This year, it seems like they figured it out. A beer worthy of the full liter glass. Nicely done.

On tap at Wisconsinburger. Pour clear brown with red highlights and a beige head. Taste is lightly sweet and roasty; flavors of chocolate malt balls, coconut, metal. Aroma is roasty, vanilla. Not bad, but the metallic offnote is distracting.

Draft pour pint at Black Raven. Shiny golden pour. El Dorado showcase this time around, and well done. Clean in appearance. Soft grains overpowering hops in the aroma. Cool and crisp on first taste. Grain forward. Lingering bitter. An overall tasty IPA here.

Draft pour pint at Black Raven. Wasnt totally on board wity last years fresh hop beer from these guys, but this was an instant upgrade on first taste. Love the Amarillo hops this year I guess. Big hops, a bit on the floral side. Cool, refreshing flavor overall. Great showcase of the hop. Well executed fresh hop overall. Unexpected, and impressed with this one.
