Enjoyed on tap at Blind Robin in Chicago, IL while hanging out with some friends. I didn’t take notes while drinking this, but this style is typically not my ’go to’ style and this was fantastic. Appearance was a nice bright, glowing cloudy yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma of the standard coriander & citrus that came out nicely. Taste was pretty mellow but retained that nice backing of spice with maybe a hint of hops added that provided the citrus. Really enjoyed this one, should have drank multiples of this instead of the other beer I had.

Sampled from the tap at 2011 FOBAB. Poured a deep brown with a dark brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a good amount of molasses and toffee with dark grains and some barrel. Flavor had notes of molasses, dark grains, roasted malts and bitter chocolate backed by a bit of barrel.

Galway Arms, Chicago pint ($6): Pours a nice copper color with a white head. Aroma is rather hop forward, but it is also clear that there will be a solid malt backbone. In many ways, this is a quintessential IPA: well-balanced, sweet, and rather hoppy. There are plenty of citrus notes in there as well. Somewhat on the sweet side of things. More of a sipping IPA than a chugging IPA. Good stuff, and would like to get more from this brewery.

Enjoyed on tap at Revolution Brewery in Chicago, IL while eating dinner with my bandmates. I enjoyed this towards the end of the meal and practically had to chug it before leaving, so maybe this isn’t the most accurate rating, but I remember it being pretty good. Definitely tasted tame, but not watered down, flavorful but subdued. Good stuff.
