On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of sweet cereal malts, sugar, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly boozy, with sweet cereal grains, ethanol, light bitterness. Pleasant, though a bit too pointlessly boozy. Decent.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear amber brown with a small tan head. Aroma has a roastier character than most milds, earthiness, and toasted malt. Flavour is much the same, with some roast, earthiness, and dry bread crusts. Much better than your typical shitty English dark mild. Decent.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours an anber-tinged near-black with a small tan head. Aroma has earthy roast, not much else. Flavour is dry, with lots of earthy bready malt and seltzery notes. Too seltzery, not enough deep roast, but competent enough.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma has gentle earthiness, some light pine, and bready malt. Flavour is dull, with mineraly notes, sweaty notes, and a bit of dank hop oils. Dull, sweaty, flat hop expression. Not working too well.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5
On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has massive dank hops, some berry, tropical notes, and earthiness. Flavour is fairly dank, with some sweatiness, pot-like hops, some oils, and minerality. Dank, pot-like finish. Good but below what Stoup is capable of.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some sweatiness, light melon, and a touch of pine. Flavour has moderate dankness, some sweatiness, and light pine. Bit of a strange hop expression in there with that sweatiness. Good construction, suboptimal hop expression.

Bright gold, medium head, decently oniony. Crackery malt, and on the palate it’s quite oniony. Don’t hate it though.

Dullish gold. Smells like nerds candy. Tastes like candy, too. I mean that’s 586 for you. If old school hops are like cannabis, this shit is like bubblegum vape.
