Jockeybox draft at Crafts & Drafts. Overdone. Pithy and herbal. Full bodied. Looks right, but feels old even though it's not. 7 6 5.5 5 5.5

Light pineapple. Pours pale yellow and hazy with pretty good head. Light hop tang finish. Lot a ton here, but OK. Tap at Midlands.

Very crisp and slightly hazy golden coloured body with a pretty large, five to six centimetre tall pure white, fairly dense head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of light grass, a subdued grainy note, hints of citrus, especially lemons with a bit of lager yeast and biscuits towards the end. Light-bodied; Very cirsp and grassy herbal flavours dominate, but the light sugars and especially dry lager yeast notes are very nice and robust, especially for the style, which leave a nice bitterness at the end, which is very flavourful throughout, as well. Aftertaste is dry of course, but the malt hits hardest in a good way, with some rice and light graininess here, but mostly biscuity and crisp. Overall, a very nice beer, especially for the style, with all of the things you want to have and none of the real bitterness or funky qualities/astringencies that are sometimes associated with Kolschs. Great to sample - thanks to Colleen for this one - I've still never seen it in a store at all, but was lucky enough to have this one super fresh from a real boat! I sampled this twelve ounce can, given to me by my coworker, who works on a small yacht in Annapolis Harbor, Maryland, canned on 14-March-2022 and sampled at my house after a hot day here in Washington on 19-August-2022.

I was worried the smoke wouldnt show up but this is a true Grodziskie/ Smoked Sour all the way. The lime and agave are subtle but give it real depth. Rather awesome example of the style.

Tap at the brewery. Big ups to Solidfunk for the add. Creamy, lactosified I imagine, but retains it's porterhood even at the massive ABV. Rich and sweet, but really nice flavors, pretty enjoyable in the 6oz format. Cocoa syrup thickness and mellow coffee balance. Over the top dessert beer, rather well executed.

Tap at the brewery. Rather watery and thin, the lack of bitterness sort of takes away the balance. Really pleasant and drinkable at the same time, delicate strawberry and tropical melon hop tones. Unique, tasty.
