Taster at the brewery - clear gold - medium sweet, but with finishing pepper and grassy bitterness - honey, lightly dusty/earthy phenols - pretty good American rendition.

Taster at the brewery - clear gold, lively pour - medium dry and lightly tart - flavors of tart apple, white grape, pepper - gains some light sweetness through the middle, adding some pear late - finishes dry and lightly tart - the tartness itself seems intentional, but somehow artificial, like an adjunct was added post-fermentation to add some acidity - otherwise okay.

Taster at the brewery - the base beer of this is a pretty fine Quad - I'm not sure the blackberry does much- at the very least, it's understated, mostly coming in the finish, and is complimented decently by the finishing phenolics - alright.

Taster at the brewery - dark purplish red - decently smooth, dense sweetness, with a cutting acidity and spice through the middle - not terribly complex, but it does finish with some dark fruit and light earthiness - okay.

Taster at the brewery - hazy orange - this was apparently cellared for over a year before tapping - there's a really nice earthy, mildly funky/phenolic depth - dry for the strength, with pepper, cobweb - some ginger and tropical fruit - the alcohol is noticeable on the tail end, but otherwise fairly nice.

Taster at the brewery - hazy gold - highly effervescent - flavor is light, bright, citric - there is a tartness to it that is clearly intentional, but tastes artificial and, in my view, does not really better the beer - it clashes with the underlying sweetness - finishes with some spice and bitterness - eh.

Taster at the brewery - hazy ruby beer - sticky lace - a lot of dark fruit, mostly raisin and date - slight dusty yeast and a finishing spiciness - caramelized sugars linger, as does some spiciness - good.

Taster at the brewery - lightly hazy Amber - sugary sweet, with flavors of honey, caramelized cane sugar - not a ton of depth underneath that sweetness - some spice, some alcohol warmth, light raisin, some dark bread - light bitterness and pepper try to balance the stickiness - eh.
