A murky anemic blonde gose with no head. In aroma, sweet kiwis and pineapples, lemons, quite nice. In mouth, a nice smooth epsom salt with notes of licorice. On tap at Somerville Summerfest, July 14, 2012.

Our friend Robert brought this one back from a trip to Boston. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-peach color with a small creamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was tangy table sugar, bread, pear and golden raisins. The flavor was dryish yet tangy with notes of table sugar, yeast, a bit of must, faint vague herbs and a moderate presence of candied golden fruits. The finish was medium length tangy and musty with lingering bread and golden fruits. Full bodied. Solid.

ChrisOs Kook Tasting. Opaque black beer, thin chocolate coloured head. Smells and tastes of dark malt but with an unfortunate side taste of gloy glue!! Malt is over toasted as well. Sweet gluey finish. A godawful mess.

Where the Wild Beers Are, 2011. Sadly, this is not sour at all, and pretty much fails at being a Berliner Weisse. It is like a kristalweizen. Very light wheat, thin palate, and no other qualities common to a Berliner Weise or other styles of German wheat beers.

growler-thanks Jon-pours deep red/mahogany with a cascading tight tan head. Aroma is roasty medium malt-some chocolate, spice. Taste is roasty medium malt-some chocolate/slight anise, spice hops, hint of smoke. Medium/full body. Uprating this, as the 2nd ½ the growler had more to it than when freshly opened.
