On tap in a flight at the brewery. Pours a cloudy yellow color, with a small, fine, off-white head. Smells very lemony, with some notes of dry grass, leather, and mango. Relatively dry, with a sharp bitterness. Light to medium body, with a sharp, grainy, and pulpy feel. This is a sharp, aromatic, and very bitter IPA. Not as hazy or juicy as I'd like.

On tap at the brewery taproom. Pours black, with a small, tan head. Smells just like an oatmeal raisin cookie! Some hints of black pepper, pine, and licorice. Sweet, with a sharp, roasted bitterness. Medium to heavy body, with a grainy, sharp, and acidic palate. This is a fun beer, with great aromatics. A bit harsh on the finish, but still quality.

Taster at the taphouse. Pours a pale, golden color, with a small, tan head. The aroma is strong juniper, with some caramel, whole grains, and light vanilla and rye. Sweet, with a sharp, pleasant bitterness. Medium body, with a grainy, sharp, and thick mouthfeel. This is a fun, crisp, and pretty simple beer. Lots of juniper, of course, but well made and tasty.

Sample on draft at the taproom. Pours a hazy, light orange color, with a small, off-white head. Strong floral aromas with some buttery tannins, vanilla, white sugar, and straw. Sweet, with a mild bitterness and light, sharp tart finish. Light to medium body, with a creamy, lightly acidic mouthfeel. Overly floral for my tastes, but nice.
