Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is pale malt with a little herbal hop. Flavor is dry malt, super lemony with a herbal finish. Not your typical helles but something different and unique.

Thrale's - Bourbon Barrel from Urban Chestnut Brewing Company
3 years ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 4 Overall 8
Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is wood and vanilla with some dark chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt with a nice bourbon barrel and a little sweetness. Alcohol is there but it hits you way after the swallow. Thin for a Impy stout but the flavor was there and the alcohol was pretty much hidden.

Rich and dark without being overly sweet. Presents notes of caramel, toasted bread, and grain, with hints of fruit and a modest floral bitterness on the back end. Very good.

Big Cat Golden Pilsner from Urban Chestnut Brewing Company

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
16 oz. Aroma is lightly bready, lightly grassy—fairly faint overall. Pours clear golden with a half finger off white head that settles into a ring pretty quick. Taste has a light bready sweetness and faint bitterness with flavors of grass and light bready malt. Subdued pils and a little boring. Edit: The bitterness that seemed so faint at first builds on the palate, making this better than I first thought and increasing my score.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear, light gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is lightly bready. Hops are a mystery. Approaching med body. Flavor is very toasty/bready/grainy (not burnt or roast) with not a lot of hop. Pils? Hmmmm.

#6 Classic American Lager from Urban Chestnut Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
16 oz can from John, thanks again my friend, 6/12/22. Grain and bread are dominant, with earth, grass, and lemon. Pretty nice flavor overall, bolder than I expected, but still clean and crushable. It gets a touch murky later on, which keeps it slightly less crisp than I would have wanted, but it's still nice enough overall.
