Brewery draught, 11/13/25, as pictured.
Classic clove, white pepper and stone fruit with light honey-like malts. Not boozey, not too much crude phenol.
Soft, rich, malty, very chewy with bitter orange, vanilla, rich honey and lingering white pepper. Classic stuff and minimal clove, banana and no bubblegum. No alcohol and it's the right amount of malt without syrup or excess sugar.

Brewery draught, 11/13/25, as pictured.
Lightly sweet, rich cereal-like character from ample malt. Moderate yeast though not as much apple or papier maché as if expect.
Seems pretty legit in flavor. Crisp and biscuity with honey-like depth and light earthiness. Spicy, herbal hops are clean, clear and amply bitter. Wonderfully refreshing, flavorful and balanced. Shocking that it's 4.3%

Peachy with similar earthiness and mineral to the single version. White bread and biscuit. Not super aromatic.
Lightly sweet, soft, good bitterness with lemon peel, tangerine, light peach and lots of papaya. I like the undercurrent of spice and earth but I could do a bit more bitterness and a bit more hop intensity. Clean and not boozey.

Brewery draught, 11/13/25, as pictured.
Juicy, fruity, moderately spicy. Good mix of tropical and citrus with an earthy, mineral-laden undercurrent. Cracker and biscuit gently balance. No big acidity but no sweetness perceived either.
Soft, lightly juicy, with fluffy carbonation and lots of light dry hopping adding light earth and chalk. Pear, stone fruit, papaya and light passion fruit give great complexity. Nice texture with just enough sweetness/softness but still plenty of dry biscuit and light to moderate bitterness on the end.

Brewery draught, 11/13/25, as pictured.
Fruity with a minty spice and nutty-sweet almond liqueur character. Cherries keep it light, with low, bready malt character and little barrel. Little bit of lime, but it's light. No sugariness, that's for sure.
Fruity of course, with high attenuation and a bit of oaky dryness. Juicy cherry, moderate lime, all with low acidity keep it drinkable but the malts offer little depth or comfort, unfortunately. But it's not thin. Just very dry. That said, I'll take very dry every time over sugary and sweet, which feels like what cocktail inspired beers usually are.

Canned 9/8/25, as pictured. Drunk 11/7/25.
Richly-malted, but seemingly dry porter with an average roastiness to it. Clean, with light ash and light mineral. Typical dark fruits. Maybe not quite as rich as I'd expect for its size?
Yeah, I guess it's just a bit undermalted for its size. Or maybe I'm crazy. Just feels like you could do this porter at 6%. Not incredibly complex, but as with all their beers, it's fantastically clean and polished. Very solid, by-the-books American porter. Not too heavy on the roast. Good attenuation.

Undated can from the brewery, drunk 10/21/25.
Chill-hazed copper-brass-amber. Small, beige head.
Red fruit and a fair amount of toast. Light caramel. Not richly malty, but quite attenuated. Low hop character. Very clean. Lingering herb and mineral.
Toasty, maybe a bit more than it needs to be. But there's still decent base malt to create some soft, lightly sweet white bread and light caramel. Dries out a lot with mild, herbaceous hops and light bitterness. I prefer a more dry marzen, but this one may go a bit too far, leaving a bit too much cracker and toast lingering. The low hop character exacerbates this somewhat.

Canned 7/1/25, drunk 10/20/25.
Gently hazy, pale brass-gold. Swirled some yeast/sediment in. Large, white head, quickly to spotty cover.
Clean and not full of the less desirable yeast notes (clove, banana, bubble gum). Lots of wheat with light honey and mild pepper. Soft, well-aged, rounded. Really delicate and polished.
Wheat is deliciously chewy, nutty, lightly sweet alongside the biscuity malts with gentle honey sweetness. Light and fluffy but malty/wheaty, very flavorful, clean and polished with light pepper and low clove/bubblegum/banana.

Canned 3/8/25, from brewery cooler, drunk 10/16/25.
Clear, bright rusty-amber with a large, well-retained, beige head.
Big and fruity with rich base malt and tasteful medium malts lending a light caramel and toffee character. Minor hoppiness adding peppery, earthy notes and finishing dry and with plentiful crisp yeast and mineral.
Minimal breadiness, just enough, same going for toast and caramel. Lots of red fruit, pepper, slight floral accents and a malty, deep texture with great attenuation and a big, lasting finish. Very, very flavorful, clean and well-made stuff.

Brewery draught, 10/16/25.
As pictured.
Nutty, creamy wheat and rich squash. Tasteful, minimal spicing. Clean and crisp. Done honey and biscuit.
Floral pumpkin notes with lemon and vanilla. Curried squash and bitter hops with nutty, soft, substantial wheat. Very flavorful for its size and style. Lovely.
