Poured from the tap. Cloudy yellow gold with small white head. Slightly sweet biscuit malt with quite a mild mosaic hop expression. Okay, but could be way better.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. A simple corn malt character that’s a bit bland, but has enough flavour considering the low ABV. Average.

Re-rate: poured from the tap. Slightly hazed orange gold with small white head. Overly estery, way too much bubblegum. Off balance. Chose this to finish off my flight, not expecting much different, but it was so different it required a re-rate. Sept 24, 2022 (7/3/7/3/14=3.4): Poured from the tap @ P49. Hazy gold with small white head. Decent example of the style, bready wheat, light esters, hint of banana and clove.

Poured from the tap. Hazy gold with small white head. This has a weird sweet metallic floral character. Seems off.

Poured from the tap. Opaque, super murky gold with small white head (unfiltered apple juice, maybe?). Subdued apple with a more dominant citrus and pine hop character. Rough around the edges, but grew on me as I finished the flight size pour.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy gold with small white head. Tropical hops, very feint juicy citrus, and hint of chalk. Messy.

Poured from the tap. Dark amber brown with small beige head. Toffee malt with an underlying gentle oak. A bit lacking, but inoffensive.

Little cloudy blond to orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, juicy, tropical fruits, mango, some caramel malts. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity, juicy, nice bitterness, tropical fruits, citrus notes, lovely stuff! Aftertaste: very dry, very bitter, fruity, hoppy, a bit resinous, more tropical fruits, some oranges, very nice, really like it!

Amber-brown, not much head. Toffee aroma with a bit of the french oak. On the palate, has some brown sugar, more oak, a bit nutty. The oak brings spiciness and the finish has a good dbk kick. Ok, so as a beer it’s good, but dbk needs that rich bready malt character, which is lacking here. But not getting to that Bavarian level is no crime - it’s a good beer it just doesn’t crush the style. .

Slight haze, no head, pale amber colour. This is odd…the apple lends its fruit to a piney, floral IPA with orange notes. The malt comes across weak, which I imagine is always a risk in a graf. This isn’t a bad beer but if they invested a few batches there’s untapped upside here.
