Bottle. Smells kind of plain and neutral. First taste is pleasant, it almost has a slight detectable tart side to it. Friendly and easy, I'm liking this. On the eye, first its clear pale and then it gets a little cloudy near the bottom of the bottle. Decent co2 tho could use more. Yes, could use another.

Tap at the source. Looks like iced tea. Sweet attractive nose. Smooth at first. A little better than the original gate so its pretty good. Good creamy co2 sizzle effects on the palate. Hides its alky very well so you better be careful with this one. Civilized and enjoyable for a domestic Belgian dubble.

On tap at the source. Nice brown color. Sweeter initial nose. A little sweet on the intial uptake as well. Not really over the top. Smooth and easy. Has a tad of that old campfire wood damp feeling in it. Tad of sweetness in the end as well. Not bad.

Tap at the source. I wasn't expecting much form this beer since most 'craft' pale lagers are bullshit. This is not. Its a fine example of what a real pale lager can be. It starts off with a tremendously fresh beery smell. No excessive hops on the buds and just a clean bill of civilized yummy taste. Hay, yes there is a little hay in there, fresh cut hay at that. . One of the first craft lagers that I really liked. Nice job brothers! Great stuff. One of the best pale lagers I've tasted yet. Right up there with Fifty West American Lager, Straub American Lager, Alfa (Αλφα), Ringside Beer, Burgh'ers 1890 Lager & Busch Beer

Bottled from a tap. Slight haze on pale. Yes, smells like peanut butter laced IPA, weird. Taste is same, medium bitter IPA backbone laced with peanut butter. I wasn't sure what this would be like. Weird I'd say, but what do I know? I never was an IPA fan and this is just another weird PA. At least its tolerable. Lets make everything, every beer in the world, an eye pee aye, huh? Not sure if I pick up any of the chocolate in this one, mostly IPA and peanut butter.

Very dark root-beer color. Strong perfumy vanilla or similar aroma. First taste is burnt dark chocolate liquid mixture, whew. Comes across more like 9%! I think they got the alky content wrong on this one. Not too sure for the tropical unless there is coconut flavored anise liquor in there, whew. Calming sensation or is that an alarming sensation, you know, the dizzying effects and such? Strong big nasty nellie, whew! I think vanilla and coconut now? All aged and soaked in barrels that previously held alky? Ethanol? What-ever, this probably should be in the imperial stout style; get the message? Whew, did I say whew? If you really like imperial stout, get this now before its gone! Way too much for this lager lover. If you like impy stout or strong stout, ignore my numbers. Whew!

Bottled from a tap. Dull volatile sweet hop nose. Darker pale almost iced tea in color, certainty darker than a typical pale IPA. No head with a gentle hand pour. This is my first taste of beer after the big O insertion of July 2019! Bitter sharp rude, typical IPA territory, all into place. Just like the autumn wind after the summer breeze. If you like IPA, you gottah try this volatile IPA and BTW, I'd say its a double IPA with all the viscous mouth coating abilities. Bitter biting alcoholic lick your face. Finish is bittersweet astringent eye-pee-aye. Bitter rude ass mah fah brew these IPA.

Bottled from a tap. Smell is cloying sweet, I guess that is expected. A darker beer with a creamy tan head. Taste is just as sweet, its cloying and medicinal too. Difficult stronger alky brew with some astringent backbone backing up the sweet thang. Reminds me of many poorly made domestic barley wines I've had. Makes me wonder if this would age well. Mouth coating alky brew fer sher, straight up head knocker. Yes, as the session moves thru the middle and into the finish that astringent bite just keeps on keepin on. I think I'm getting a little dizzy in the end. Not sure what to think of this stuff.

In a crowler from the source. Looks like a dark hefe. Smell is a mango, perhaps a tad of mango perfume. Taste is certainly IPA, perhaps stronger APA. A little bit of astringent bitterness kicks its head up in the middle. Difficult at times. Fruit takes the edge off this IPA. Different for a change. Hides 7% alky quite well.
