Brewery draught, 8/12/26.
A bit orangey bc they gave me an orange slice in it. Maybe done nutty, crusty wheat behind it.
Quite malty/wheaty. Rich, soft, fairly sweet. But the flavors are bold and excellent if you don't mind a bit sweeter, maltier wit.

Brewery draught, 10/17/25.
As pictured.
Lovely PNW hops mix with base and dark malts to give candied citrus, chocolate and juicy pine. Bright and clean without resin or excessive roast.
Coffee and orange with dark chocolate. Malty body for its size, drying out with piney, grapefruity hop. A ton going on for its small size.

Fruity berries are a bit unusual though not unpleasant. Soft honey and mildly herbaceous hop notes join. Clean, not so much crisp as it is intensely fruity.
Thankfully the big raspberry doesn't translate to the flavor. Though the flavor presents its own issues with a giant corn character. Theres no corn in this, of course, so I don't know if it's diacetyl or just weird yeast and malt interactions. Soft and malty otherwise with good bitterness and reasonable dryness on the finish. Some mild fruitiness but a lot of that buttery corn character lingering.

Malty, fruity, earthy, good mineral and interesting yeast. Light herb, earth, pepper from the hops. Clean, bright, fruity.
Malty, though drying out with lots of bread crust. Red fruits, lots of pepper and mineral. Softening as it warms/breathes. Very vibrant, bright and polished/well-executed.

Cask at 25. Clear amber. Foamy frothy translucent white head. Aroma has jammy fruit with a caramel streak and veg. Some citrus spice and general marmalade but derailed by a big veg streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. An off-target beer true to it's veg Cask origins.
