Description
In mythology, literature and many cultures, the Raven is seen as a culture hero, a revered and benevolent, transformative figure. The Raven helps people, blesses them with gifts and shapes the world. But at the same time, he is a frivolous trickster, a light-hearted prankster who is sometime gluttonous and impatient. The Raven as our totem works perfectly. We like to think we are creative, wise, playful and a bit bird-brained; just like those wacky Ravens.

Draft 12 oz pour at the brewery. Pours a very light, near transparent color gold with an oily patchy head. Fresh hops and yeast forward aroma. Very light body and easy flavor. Big hop in the finish. A little floral. Tasty, unique beer for sure.

Deep copper with an off white head. Sweet floral and fruity citrus notes, melted caramel in the aroma. Medium to full body with light carbonation. Flavor is on the sweet malty side of the IPA spectrum. It has very nice citrus and floral hop notes but itโs very balanced with that toast and melted caramel piece from the aroma. Very smooth and balanced. Not a hop bomb, just a well-crafted IPA.

Clear oily orange with minimal head. Citrus and other light fruits with slight malt. Sweet aroma. Medium body. Flavor is musty and dry citrus, tart middle, dry finish of hay, earth, and citrus. The dry booze really lasts. Enjoyable.

500mL capped bottle picked up at the brewery. Pours a clear dark rose color. Light berry syrup, just barely sweet surrounds a rather clean beer with just the slightest tartness. This would be a very cool fruit beer, its not a sour and its not a Berliner. But if I had this as a brewpubโs version of a summer fruit wheat then I would be very impressed. As a black currant Berliner its a bit disappointing.

Draft pour at Special Brews. Listed as La Mort, but confirmed the brew. Pours a muddy brown color with a big bubble foam head. Rich malt aroma. Strong flavor. Tastes even heavier than it is. Sweet malt and a rye like finish. Dusty. Strange brew, but not bad.

Draft pour schooner at the brewery. Pours a dark reddish copper color with a tan fizz head. Mild dark fruit aroma. Belgian inspired beer as its described, but it tastes as belgian as they get. Complex flavor, with dark fruit, belgian yeast, and rich malt. Very nice combo of flavor going here. Has a plum like fruity finish, and has a finish that shows itโs strength. A bit of a mind blowing beer for me here. Very special brew.

Draft pour schooner at the brewery. Pours a clear reddish pink color with no head. Very light fruit wine aroma. Flavor is juicy, light berry, and a big white wine presence. Very light in body and a cool finish. Berliner Weisse or sour? This beer finds that happy medium I suppose. Minimal sourness here. Tasty stuff.
