Tap at Broken Bat. Probably the least impressive example of the style I've had, and it is still drinkable, enjoyable enough. Big bitter hop backbone. This one is a little hazy still, a pinch flabby for the style. OK.

Pint can from Wine Cellar Depere, 8/31/22. Black, thin brown head, poor retention. Aroma of pistachio, nuts, roast, chocolate. Hint of vanilla and mint. Taste is chocolate, nuts, roast, pistachio, cherry. Sweet but well balanced. Mild booze. Fuck the unwritten rules.

Ridiculously hazy golden, straw and raw honey coloured body with a very thick, six to seven centimetre tall nicely foamed tan head that fades slowly. Aroma of malt, lactose, dry wheat, hay, grass and a lot of oats and light oranges along with some vanilla as well in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich wheatie and strong oats as malts with a pungent lactose, vanilla and super sweet bite from oranges, tangerines and grass with a big yeastie and slightly bready note finishes this all off, with a lot of residual sugars still around. Aftertaste is rich, very vanilla-y and bringing out a good deal of oats and a strong wheatie maltiness, without much hops at all, aside from a slight orangey and citrusey characteristic and some hay and grassiness as well, but the lactose, vanilla and especially the sweetness finish off strongly. Overall, a slightly different beer than I expected, but interesting and very vanilla-y, creamy and especially rich in malts with oatmeal around. Great to try from Wisconsin and to have super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Hy-Vee in Madison, Wisconsin on 08-August-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-August-2021.

Pint can thanks to Drake! WI brewery #76, overall brewery #994. Hazy pale gold with a ton of carbonation and a giant white head. Tangerine, tropical fruit, orange peel, lemon zest nose. Sour lemon (infected? perhaps judging by the size of the head), tangerine, tropical fruit, light melon. Very bubbly carbonation.

Bottle shared at the 3/13 ProSpeak tasting thanks to Nate! I'd have to boycott this beer if not for the asterisk. Fuck Barry Bonds. Dark brown, thin head. Aroma of booze, raisin, apple. Taste is whiskey, raisin, roast. Thin, anemic. Something awry here. Maybe steroids?

Pint can from Total Wine Greenfield, 12/3/21. Hazy orange, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of strawberry, vanilla, funk. Taste is strawberry, green leafy notes, orange, pale malt. Mild tartness. Decent.

Pint can from Total Wine Brookfield, 11/20/21. Hazy orange, very large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of earthy hops. Not much. Taste is tropical fruit, tangerine, pale malt. Some subtle infection notes. Juicy, lingering bitterness. Decent.

Pint can from Festival Northland, 8/30/21. Pours almost all head. About one finger of a hazy pale amber liquid. And that was not an aggressive pour. Aroma of corn, grain, grass. Taste is corn, grain. Boring.

Keg at the brewery. Slightly hazy amber, thin creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of lime, caramel. Taste is toast, caramel, lime. Medium bodied.

Keg at the brewery. Slightly hazy amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of berries and wheat. Taste is tart berries, wheat. Medium bodied, well balanced. Delivers as promised.
