Novare draught, 12/12/24. Clear blueberry juice. Small, pink head. Can smell the blueberry from feet away. Juicy lactic and maybe a touch of acetic character. Rich, buttery, fruity, juicy, intense. Juicy up front but transitioning to strong lactic and maybe some butyric? Yeah, this tastes a bit off-putting despite the intense, juicy, fruity blueberry. Stiff lactic acid, stiff butyric acid on the finish. Buttery as hell...

16 ounce can. 19th Annual Lakes Region Brewfest. Bridgton, Maine. Citrus in the form of lemon, milled grain, and herbal bitterness to round out the flavor. Pretty balanced overall it’s nice.

16 oz can. Light amber, somewhat translucent. Aroma of malt and yeast. Taste of roasted grain, and a light citrus hop finish. A nice creamy mouthfeel that makes it easy to drink. I knew this would be a very boring beer. And it met my expectation.

4 oz. Aroma os caramel and mild yeast. Flavor is pleasantly malty with toasted caramel and dried leaves. Almost a crisp apple-ish finish. Good

16 oz can. Aroma is great with dead hibiscus. In the flavor, the grape musk and berries overrides the hibiscus a bit. That’s a very good thing for me because I don’t like hibiscus very much. Dead flowers does balance the fruit. But it certainly is an interesting brew!

Draught at the brewery, around Thanksgiving, quite a few years ago (circa 2014). Cranberry red, hazy, small, pinkish head with low retention. Tart fruit nose with nutty wheat and lots of intense lactic character. In the mouth it's tart and lactic with plentiful berry and a good malt and wheat structure that helps balance all the acid. Some residual sweetness in the form of graham cracker and light honey with lingering tart cranberry acidity. Clean, no alcohol or flaw.
