Tap at the taproom. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Blood orange aroma. Med body. Blood orange flavor with at least the salt content of a German version. Not weak. Not very bitter. BO sticks thru to the moderately salty finish. Refreshing Gose.

Note: Servitor indicates this was aged in white wine barrels. Tap in the Blue Note tulip at the tasting room. Pours extremely hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is reasonably ripe freestone peach with a possible sour note. Med + body with decent, but not spritely, carbonation. Flavor is peach, a bit astringent, a bit peach pit, smoothly sour (if that makes any sense), and finally wood notes. Or maybe like sucking on a piece of oak. Belches peach pit. Not able to identify any particular bacillus. If I had to guess, I’d say pedio, but the cardboard aspect doesn’t seem to be present. Quite tasty, and relatively easy to drink. Late blooming thought is that the peach might not be freestone. But the pit aspect still brings freestone to mind. Weird that.

Tap at the tasting room. Pours dark, translucent, orange gold with a beige head. Hoppy aroma - can’t pin it down. Med body. Flavor is slightly roasty malt with what seems to be fruity hop. Honey is clearly in the flavor. Though it usually is not something I enjoy, it’s working pretty well in this ale. And there’s lots of honey coating my lips. It seems to be getting rather malty, but for some reason that’s working too. Maybe this is the blonde ale version of breakfast. Malt and honey. Quit drinkable.

Flavor is bready, but darker than a pale lager breadiness, there's a slight touch of spicy bitter, and honey is definitely detectable. Somehow the flavors raise this beyond the typical blonde!

Crowler from the tap room. Pours very dark copper with a tan had. Aroma of slightly roasty caramel/treacle with some mild herbaceous/grassy hop. Med body or so. Flavor is roasty caramel with some spicy/herbaceous/grassy hop. It’s not all that sweet, but sweet, and the hop is arguably strong enough to get this towards balance. With each sip/quaff the spice seems to get stronger, and the caramel seems to get maltier. Working for me.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours orange gold with a transient white head. Aroma is stone fruit funky. Med body; flavor is apricot / tart / funky. A touch sour. Finishes very apricot. Actually fairly sour, but not devastating.

Tap at the tasting room. Pours hazy/opaque almost muddy dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of brown sugar and uncertain hop. Full bodied. Lots of flavor. surprisingly dry. Brown sugar flavor, but lots and lots of hop bitterness. but not like NW bitter; maybe like E Coast bitter. Gets earthy with time. Maybe I’d have thought it was an American Strong Ale. A pleasant surprise. Still thinking it’s pretty dry. Nice drink. But not exactly a sipper!
