Pours dark, clear amber into a willi.Tan micro head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and earthy brown bread upfront turning light summer fruit before the earthy caramel finish.

Aroma of malts, caramel, sweet fruits, raisins, hops. Flavour is sweet malty caramel and fruity, leading to a moderate bitter dry finish. Very much on the sweet malty side of DIPA.

Bottle from Craft Beer Cellar, New Orleans. Aroma is strong Brett funk with fruits, hay, peach, apricot, grain, bit tart, citrus, and a touch of hops. Nicely funky and dry with sour and mild sweet tones. Medium body. Quality Brett funk.

A hazed golden ale with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, nice fruity malt with light Brett, light herbal hops, light coriander, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with cereal, light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice and smooth.

375mL bottle, final batch, purchased December 2024 from the brewery. ABV up to 9% from previous 6.5% batch.
Clear, blonde-honey. Incredibly-fizzy head fizzles away quickly to nothing.
Big yarrow-like vibes with a round, softy, honey-rich maltiness to balance. Light oak, minimal grape and lingering heavy herbal spice.
Soft, thick, rich, juicy, big bready and honey-like malts with a bit of "run-away-hot-fermentation-alcohol" character. The herbs are intense and spicy, deep and lightly medicinal reminding me heavily of yarrow. Love the slightly syrupy texture to balance the oak, acidity and herbal bitterness. It does it admirably and the beer finishes with and shows lingering honey, bread, oak and gentle white wine. All the while the herbs lighten somewhat.

Brewery draught, 12/14/24. Clear amber. Still. Bright, rich, zesty blood orange augments the spicy, yet nicely mellow bourbon. Rich toffee, vanilla, honey and caramel from the malt. No alcohol. Soft, syrupy, richly malty with zesty blood orange to help balance. Chewy and luxurious with a near-perfect balance of sweet, acid, and mellow barrel. No alcohol noted. Could drink a whole bottle of this stuff easily.
little hipster place. great beer menu.

Brewery draught, 11/22/24. Quite cloudy, muted lemon-brass. Very little head. Heavy wheat with spicy fruit fermentation. Some earth, lots of mineral. Juicy passion fruit, pineapple, mango. Sweet and succulent but balanced by the drier wheat character. Juicy, flavorful and refreshing. Excellent fruit expression. Very low acidity. Wouldn't hate a bit more tartness.

Brewery draught, 11/22/24. Clear amber, small head. Sweaty pine hop with mild pine and good, fruity yeast. No resin, toast or heavy wood. Clean. Pine spice and light marijuana suggestions on top of a medium, chewy body with biscuit and bread notes. Clean, moderately bitter, balanced. No god damned toast and caramel! A crappy style done as best as possible!

Brewery draught, 11/22/24. Heavily hazy, deep bronze-maize. Small, white head. Juicy, bright, spicy, leaning in the cedar notes moreso than the coconut or pineapple. Really interesting and aromatic. Lots of cedar and mild coconut with a soft, fuzzy, gently malty and dry body. Clean and spicy with lingering coconut and tons of spicy cedar. Maybe a touch too monotonous with the spice notes...
