Draft at South Station Boston. Fine dark amber pour. Some sudsy head. Nose is spicy and caramel. Tastes of caramel, red fruits, pepper. Pleasant and good for style. Lot of ratings by folks who don’t appreciate amber ales.

Brewery draught, 8/7/22. Chill-hazed, peachy-copper. Small, feeble head. Tropical fruits, sauv Blanc, dainty honey and cracker malt. Clean, no aggressive hopping. The pomace really complements without overpowering. Juicy and zesty fruit mixes wonderfully with gentle hop bitterness. No resin from the high alpha hops and no preponderance of nasty pineapple from the Sabro. Soft and malty texture with maris-like honey and great attenuation. No booze, resin, weird yeast.

Brewery draught, 8/7/22. Heavily hazy, deep bronze-peach-cantaloupe. Small, neat, off-white head. Leafy, lightly piney, with spice and sweat. Lightly toasted malt and a bit of melon. Clean, no alcohol or resin. Wow....watermelon?? Yeah, definitely intense watermelon. Not like Tree House but more candyish. Bitterness is moderate, with grainy malt but mostly supportive nonetheless. Peach, cantaloupe melon, sourdough and pine linger beside the watermelon. I think I would like a touch more malt sweetness, but this is still well-done and very interesting/unique.

Brewery draught, 8/7/22. Deep copper with a strawberry blonde tint. Minimal, white head. Lightly toasted malt with light honey-like notes and moderate fruitiness from hop and specialty malt. Very clean, not too hoppy and showing light minerality. Soft, malty, very flavorful with a great depth for its size. Herbal/spicy hops add a strong but still balanced bitterness and the beer finishes crisp and refreshing with herbs and succulent malt.

Pours a hazy light yellow from a can. Bright floral and honey aroma and flavor. A little bit too flora for me. Good beer.

Brewery draught, 6/27/22. Cloudy, bright/neon pink guava. Little/no head. Soft, wheat and lightly lactic nose with the fruit immediately crowding in and adding all sorts of tropical juice and softness. Great maceration here, without any excessive acidity and yet it's still juicy, fruity, sweet and very authentic. Very guava-forward with light passion fruit funk/acidity and a touch of pineapple for strength. In the mouth, the guava continues its dominance as wheat softens the palate and both lactic and fruit acids balance. Juicy, malty, wheaty, soft, heavily fruity and intensely tropical with light mineral and funk. Just a phenomenally well-done fruit beer without any excessive/fatiguing acid or sugar. Incredible balance and I love the guava. Gets fruitier and juicier with warming. This is what I envision J Wakefield's tropical berliners to be when they are great.

Brewery draught, 6//27/22. Clear, bright bronze-copper. Small, white head, moderate-low retention. Soft and fruity nose with a good mix of both citrus, fruit, juice and rustic grain. No alcohol, flaw, specialty malt or weird yeast. In the mouth it's soft, but still crisp and quenching, with ample bitterness and great attenuation. Despite all of the American hops, it's not resinous or over-bittered, yet is balanced. Good malt depth, nice and dry, flavorful for its size. Just a study in balance and weaves the line between West/East Traditional/modern.

Brewery draught, 6/27/22. Heavily hazy, bronze-brass with a small, white head atop showing low retention. Interesting, juicy, hoppy, spicy, lightly dank nose with some light funk, as well. Guava skin, almost a brett-like character with hints of iodine or smoke even. Whatever these hops are, they're definitely unique. Juicy kumquat, guava, mango and rich orange juice with mega-fruity esters from the yeast and soft, supportive malts. There's a touch of pine and definitely an edge to it, but it only helps balance and is fully balanced, in turn, by the malt. No alcohol noted. In the mouth it's soft and fuzzy with guava, lime, red grapefruit, mango and juicy orange notes. Some candied citrus with soft malts, but definitely an intensive bittering for balance, never allowing the beer to get too sweet or sluggish. Juicy lime lingering with that almost oily-smokey-hickory skin or guava rind edge to it. Pretty fantastic. Great balance, great maltiness.
