Brewery draught, 7/18/25.
Munich malt colored, cloudy. Small, off-white head.
Juicy and fruity but with some stronger pine and grapefruit in the background. Fruity yeast and soft oat. Caramel from Munich malt isn't obnoxious but is there with some toasted biscuit, as well.
Grapefruit, caramel, toast, chewy oat and fruity yeast. A WC IPA with NE yeast. Confusing, but it's neither too toasty nor too bitter, so it works, more or less. Doesn't have that intense perfume a lot of their recent hoppy beers have had, thank God. Good texture, balance, attenuation. Ample bitterness. Extremely soft and chewy from the oats.

Brewery draught, 6/28/25.
Darker bronze with light copper highlights. Big, white head, falling steadily to cover. Mostly clear.
Bready and malty in the nose with not a whole lot of hopping for an Italian-style pils. I guess there's some light spice, grass and herb, but it's certainly not bright/vibrant. Lots of biscuit, dough, bread...
Clean, at least, but again, like the nose, severely lacking in fresh, vibrant hoppiness. Bitterness quite low, too. While the attenuation is ok (beer isn't sweet), it still has a full, round, chewy, robust body that just doesn't work for a pils. The breadiness is highly off-putting. Weird grass and nearly soapy flavors linger, as well.

Can from the Packie
Pours a lightly hazy deep yellow color with a decent sized bubbly white head that persists. Spicy nose with a light earthy tartness. Flavor is bready lemony with bits of clove ans astringency. Decent brew.

Can shared at the June DCBeer share. Poured a hazy golden color. Flavor was juicy with light funk, yeast, and a touch of rustic dustiness. A very flavorful and refreshing farmhouse ale.

Can shared at the June DCBeer share. Poured a pale golden color. Flavor was delicate with light grain, a touch of sweetness, and a clean finish. Subtle and pleasantly easy to drink.

Canned 5/20/25, drunk 6/13/25.
Dark for a Pils. Big copper colors. Small, white head. Hint of haze.
Hops are lovely. Herbal, dusty, a bit earthy. Some floral notes with bread and a pinch of caramel. Clean.
Malty with low toast but lots of bread and light caramel. Floral and herbal hops with peppery bitterness. Pretty good attenuation. Clean. Just not sure what's the idea with the medium malts. Guess it's kind of polotmavy? Idk. Works better as one of those. As a pils I really don't think the sweet caramel works well.

375mL bottle from the brewery, drunk 6/10/25.
Clear, very dark. Large, light tan head, good retention.
Spruce-forward, for sure, though not dominant. Or is it the hemlock? Can't say I can tell the two apart well enough. It certainly creates a very dry, bitter/acidic aspect that is somewhat amplified by the crunchy/crusty dark malts. Though they aren't very roasty, thankfully. Some base malt, not all that sweet, but soft and comforting, does help assuage things.
Hmm, yeah, this is A LOT of adjunct. AT is usually better about not going overboard on the adjuncts. That said, it's not THAT overdone, and in a year or so will be lovely. But right now it's acidic, juicy, rich spruce/hemlock with crunchy chocolate and lingering acid.

Brewery draught, 6/6/25.
Clear brass-copper-golden. Small, white head.
Some herbs, some earth, touch of pine and lots of wood. Caramel-accented biscuit and white bread from the malt easily balances.
Nice and malty with sourdough, white bread sweetness and a bit of wood and light pine. No resin. Bitterness is lower but does balance the deep malts. Lingering floral notes with lightly juicy pine. A well-made IPA, even if it's not my favorite type.

Brewery draught, 6/6/25.
Clear deep golden-maize. Small, white head.
Getting lots of wood and light pine, though no resin or caramel. Does indeed smell like a West Coast beer. Is there a bit of oxidation here? Or is that just the boiled hops I'm not used to any more? Rich bread but hard to get at much of the Pils character otherwise.
Very floral and with peach, grass, melon, gummy fruits. Too carbonated, dissipating the texture. But it seems to be quite malty with good attenuation. I do appreciate there's no resin or overdone bitterness, but it's a bit soft and kind of sluggish on the end. Some peppery bitterness to break up this tropical, peachiness would help too.

Undated can (late 2024), drunk 4/20/25.
Clear, bright golden. Large, fairly creamy, white head.
Classic Belgian yeast gives off highly fruity esters with a touch of earthiness, as well as typical white pepper. Rich white bread, honey, light biscuit from the malt creates good balance. Not boozey.
Soft, malty, rich, on the sweeter side. To that end, it's not cloying or anything, and I appreciate the big maltiness. But it's just a bit too burly, sticky, sweet, I think. A higher attenuation and crisp/snappy finish would really work wonders here. Vanilla, sugar cookies, cake and honey emanate from the huge malts. Stone fruit-like esters and plentiful white pepper-like phenolics. Not boozey.
