Draft at the brewpub. Orange amber color with white bubbles for head. Mild citrus hop aroma. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is diacetyl, citrus and a hint of caramel. Finish suggests greasy. This is not bad for lovers of butter bombs. Course this may be an aberration. Note: The blurb says it’s supposed to have a light malty flavor.

Cloudy golden. Light banana and foot on the nose. Banana and very sweet, but with a tart wheaty, spritzy finish. Refreshing despite the initial sugar blast.

Draft at the brewpub. Aroma of roasted malt and hop. Dark amber color with a flattened head. Thin to medium body with moderate carbonation. Flavor a bit vinous with an oak nuance. Just enough floral? hop to balance. It’s not a lot of hop, and it seems mixed hopwise. A dryish, lightly grapey finish. Lightly bitter, could be wood. Or not.
