12 ounce can from Woodman's Lakemoor, 11/30/19. Hazy golden orange head, large fizzy white head, decent retention. Aroma of lemon, orange juice, doughy malt. Taste is doughy pale malt, orange, lemon, green hops. Medium bodied, low carb, low to medium bitterness, decent balance. Needs some tweaking, but its a solid pils.

Draft at Alter's Beer & Cheese Social, March 9. Cozy hoppy smell with pine, just a bit floral. Rich red beer body, a slightly tan draft head. Taste has toasty malts at the forefront, surrounded by a brace of hop. A melange of pine and citrus, with a bit of florals. A slightly stronger alcohol content is apparent. Richer malts than an IPA. Very enjoyable.

5 oz. taster at the Alter tap room. Rating #3300! Earthy brown malt still "heard" after being smothered in the bourbon barrel. A rich brown color, with some highlights at the skinnier bottom of the glass. The taste still carries a full bourbon barrel note, but it still plays nicely with caramelly brown malt, putting both equally on stage. Oak based vanillin knocks back bitterness. Heady taste for a mere 7% abv.

Shaker pint draft at Mercat a la Planxa in Chicago, Illinois. The pour is clear golden with a minimal white head. The aroma is floral, dry grass, bit of lemon citrus and caramel malt. The taste is all of the notes of the nose with floral, citrus and caramel malt all blending nicely. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and a sweetish softly bitter dry finish. Solid IPA
