On tap at Flying Lion, pours a hazy dull golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out light ginger upfront, with a light wheaty backbone. Flavour is very gingery - not much else. Pleasant spicy gingery notes without being too abrasive. Good stuff.

lear dark brown color. The way I think of "brown porter" is to have no roast but this has roast, a good deal. Some woodsy malt, a bit chalky aroma. Very clean flavor. Some light malt bitterness and a light non-bitter hoppiness. I wanted more of what my mind tells me this should be. However, that is verrrrryyyy subjective.

Thick pale color. Thick bubblegum and banana aroma but awesomely so. Not the slick stinging kind. Banana walnut bread aroma. Very not sugary yet sweet. I generally stay away from lots of esters but thus did it the way like.

Just so we are clear, every batch for almost every beer since Flying Lion has been opened is slightly different. I think this beer is finally coming into its territory. Ruby brown color. Moderate lacing. Aroma hits you with a dry, clean, caramel maltiness, not sweet. Then a punch of spicy rye. Generally, I do not like rye but when its accompanied by dry caramel its good. Flavor is less caramel and rye but a clean hop bitterness arises. All this at 4.4! Rally coming into its own. Moderate bitterness sticks around.

Growler, pours a hazy dark copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out vinegar and light resin - seems a bit off. Flavour is astringent, with celery and other vegetal notes, with a bitter hop astringency. Pretty damn flawed. Not a disaster but this needs work.

Nitro. Clear straw, lots of nitro lacing. Aroma is muted due to the nitro. Flavor is back ended with American hop bitterness. Comes off as a muted pale ale with nothing happen until this bitterness kickes in.
