2nd hazy? This month? Moving on.. Quite bitter and resinous for the style. Bold flavors I suppose. Oh. Kveik yeast. Eastery. Approximates the style but doesn't have that pleasant soft melon tone or really any malt feel. I really hate Kveik yeast, but this is still drinkable and flavorful.

16oz can. Oily coffee aroma. This is a few months old and has some faint sourness going on, seems mildly infected. Decent chocolate malt tones, would have been a lot nicer without the coffee addition I'm sure.

16oz can. Full out Milkshake beer of a few years back. Builds on that sweet orange creamsicle concept....but upon closer inspection, kind of cool that it gets the orange tone from just the hops, no fruit syrup/extract additions, mild vanilla and cinnamon. Good for the style.

16oz can. Thick, opaque orange body. Oily residue of a head. Tastes like most other smoothie sours...lots of artificial fruit tone, sugary. Not an impressive beer, but an OK beverage.

16oz can. Clear tan body. Soapy white head. Pleasant doughy, bready malt tone. Medium bodied, easy drinking. Not much hop tone.

Growler from Petskull. Crystal clear orange-tan body. Pretty tasty beer, true to style bitterness coupled with a really clean mouthfeel. Great balance, which is what makes the style work for me. Full bodied, but in no way overbearing. Pink grapefruit, light pine neo-classical C-Hops, perhaps some Strata in there? Really enjoyable toasty malt body, solid hop tone.

Sample at the 2022 McFleshman’s Lager Fest, 10/1/22. Hazy yellow, thin white head, good retention. Aroma of lemon, pale malt. Taste is stone fruit, tropical fruit, lime. Mild bitterness.

Sample at the 2022 McFleshman’s Lager Fest, 10/1/22. Hazy yellow, large white head, good retention. Aroma of wheat, stone fruit, funk. Taste is caramel, butter, stone fruit. New brewery! Brewery #2114, USA #1715, Wisconsin #190. Not a good introduction to this brewery.
