6 oz draft at the brewery. Aroma is dry roasted meat with hints of coffee. Good roasted malt backbone with the typical chocolate, soft blackberry notes. Body is very good for the gravity. Three steps above Guinness.

6 oz draft at the brewery. Murky purple in color. Aroma is soft natural blueberry and light malted wheat. Flavor follows. A simple and straightforward fruit beer.

6 oz draft at the brewery. Aroma of mango and mild pineapple-ish hints. Flavor follows with the addition of some melon. Balanced by a mellow citrus rind bitterness. Nice!

Brewery draught, 4/20/24. Clear auburn-mahogany. Small, beige head immediately to ring. Fruity light roast and brown sugar with a bit of malty caramel. Softly sweet, drying out thoroughly with cracker, brown bread and fruity roast. Juicy almost. Lots of brown sugar and low but ample bitterness. A bit bready, but otherwise quite drinkable.

Brewery draught, 4/20/24. Lightly hazy, copper-brass. Small wispy head. White grape, pine and lemon with some biscuit and dough from the malt. Malty enough with white grape and lemon. Some lychee but a bit of punchy pineapple and lots of doughy, sweet white bread on the finish. I do appreciate that the beers here are malty.

Brewery draught, 4/20/24. Cloudy brass-golden. Buttery, grassy, crackery. More butter, lots of grass and lemon. Some decent maltiness but there's definitely some Diacetyl here. Not that it's pervasive but it's kind of a piney, grassy hop character which I don't love.

Brewery draught. Glowing copper. Cloudy. Mega cinnamon and lactose with juicy pineapple and rich malt. Sweet, juicy, rich. Not astringent cinnamon but a bit heavy handed on the adjuncts.

Brewery draught, 4/20/24. Muddy grey-raspberry-peach. No head. Bright thyme, piquant raspberry and light malt. Clean and balanced. Juicy, fruity, full of well-done thyme with no astringency. Not too acidic, though low on hops. Bit of citrus and mango. Good maltiness and attenuation.

Brewery draught, 4/20/24. Heavily hazy, bronze-brass. Small, white head. Nose is definitely piquant and acidic with black currant for sure. Cranberry and pine join in. Biscuity malts. A bit thin at points, biscuity, zero sweetness, lots of acid. Black currant, not much lychee, certainly not the sweet aspect of it.

On tap as part of a flight at brewery. Hazy light brown w/ring of head & trace lacing. Aroma is strong tangerine, mango. Taste is transient fruit but dominated by malt, caramel, mild tea. Smooth texture, average carbonation and malty finish as taste.
