Keg at the brewery, 4/30/22. Clear copper, barely any head. Aroma of floral, minty hops, toffee. Taste is dank, resin, caramel, apple. Moderate bitterness, watery. No diacetyl, thankfully, unlike the other two. But very amateurish.

Keg at the brewery, 4/30/22. Clear amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. It's a diacetyl bomb. Strong diacetyl aroma, some fruity hops. Taste is floral hops and buttered popcorn. Not good.

Tap at the brewery. Amber pour. Nose is very faint and not much of anything. Flavor is similar, but with a bit of green and brown grasses. Sweet, sugary on the end. Some vegetation too. Meh.

Tap at the brewery. Dark brown. Nose is very sweet (but pleasant) caramel, chocolate, vanilla, roasted nuts. Flavor is incredibly artificial. Black coffee, coffee grounds, caramel syrup, vanilla, nuts. Way too sweet and fake.

Tap at the brewery. Pours amber. Nose is caramel, light citrus. Flavor is caramel, orange rind, vanilla. A little syrupy, for whatever reason. Kinda artificial, but interesting... tasty?

Tap at the brewery. Pours golden. Grasses in the nose, but it's so faint it kinda doesn't smell like much. Flavor is somewhat bitter grasses and leaves. Little to this.

Tap at the brewery. Pours golden. Smells of grass and rubber. Flavor is green grasses, light fruitiness, light rubber. Not bad. I'm not sure what the rubber flavor is, but it potentially adds.

Orange nose, meringue. Clear amber, medium head, good lace. Orange, lemongrass, meringue undertones. Parfait-ish. Maybe a little underattenuated? Medium body, soft carbonation. Good, but the sweetness is a bit distracting.
