Draft at the source, courtesy of Jimmy - thank you sir! Hazy golden color, small white head with good retention, solid lacing. Aroma of subtle citrus and light straw. Taste is lager-like. Not bad.

Draft: Minty and lemony aroma, reminiscent of some sort of cleaning solution. Charred oak note also prominent. Brown, thin tan head. Sour soy sauce. Wow, the sourness is just not very good. Soured.

Orange and tangerine nose, subtle. Crystal clear amber, medium head, good lacing. Overripe orange flavor. Lemongrass finish. Not quite hoppy enough to be an IPA, but enjoyable.

Smooth and creamy. Nice roasted malts, chocolate, light coffee, nuts, and a mild sourness on this stout. Really easy drinking. Pleasantly surprised here.
