The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours golden with white head. Aroma is lemony, malty, and a bit spicy. Taste is more bitter and hoppy than I expected, but the body is still nice and creamy. Alcohol is well covered. Some strange, but good, flavour around the middle. Easy to drink, with a certain degree of complexity. So far, from Newburgh, this is the best I got.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light strawberries. In mouth, a sweet creamy peachy malt with tarragon notes, mineral notes, not bad.

The Bodega, Brooklyn tap: Pour amber color with off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt, dirt, and sugar. I didn’t really get too much maple out of this, but it was definitely a pretty sweet Irish Ale. Very easy to drink. Low hoppiness, but still enough to give it a nice mellow flavor.

The Sampler, Brooklyn growler pour: Pours a pale gold with a wee white head. Aroma is some farmhouse funk, but pretty light. Body is, of course, very light. Nice straw, and a bit of dryness. Unfortunately, my pour was a little wack because of the low carbonation. It was fine nonetheless. Good for drinking in the sun.

Proletariat, NY tap: Pours black with small creamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, bit of smoke, and a hint of chocolate. The peatiness of this beer is somewhat unwarranted coming from a true peat smeller such as myself. Taste isn’t too bad. Normal stoutish with just a hint of smoke. Not too impressed.

On tap at ACBF 6/1/2013 Solid black with a long lasting tan head. Wicked lime and citrus aroma and flavor with a solid earthy pepper heat. Odd beer, but I really enjoyed it.

Keg at the Pony Bar UES - NYC. Pours lightly hazy yellow with a fine, white cream head. Mild dry yeast in the aroma, some faint dough, spicy coriander. Restrained flavor, some dry dough, light citrus rind and yeast. Pleasant. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Mild toasty hay bitterness to finish, some crisp dough, very soft grass. OK but the overall character is a touch flat.

Location: Draft at Tap NY, 4/27/13
Aroma: The nose has roasted malts, lime, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of chili as well
Appearance: This one has a dark brown pour with a brown head and plus lacing
Flavor: The chili and lime worked really well with the roasted malts, and achieved a nice result
Palate: The body is on the lighter side, it has a nice mouthfeel, and a spicy tingle
Overall Impression: This one was up there in the top tier of the beers I tired at the festival because it is both well made and unique. I really enjoyed getting to try this one.
