Drank in Denver for GABF 2012. Pours a bright yellow color with a small white head. A sweet nose of wheat and lemons. The flavor doesn’t suggest much lacto, more sweet citrus, dry hay, wheat. Quite drinkable and nice.

Hazy rust color - fizzy body at first, but fails to kick up a head - doesn’t really look all that good - a lot of pumpkin, moderate muddled spiciness and a light sourness in the nose - a little watery in the mouth, especially in the finish - medium dry, with heavy roasted pumpkin in the flavor - strong spiciness on the tail end - some cinnamon, nutmeg and an almost peppery finish - a little sour at the end - meh - you’d better really love pumpkin if you want to try this and even then prepare to be underwhelmed.

Bottle @ home, picked up at 287 Liquor Fort Collins. Pours a clear, dark brown appearance with a light brown head. Quite spicy, tannic, leather, rich whiskey, oaky, dark grape/plum aroma. Thick honey, oatmeal cookie, chocolate, a bit spicy whiskey, mild dark fruity flavor with a spicy, oatmeal, whiskey aftertaste. Very rich but tasty and drinkable. Really kind of an interesting brew.

Pour is a hazy gold with a huge white head. Aroma is lemon juice and not much else makes it past the head. Flavor is plenty of ginger with a little honey sweetness to follow. Nothing mind blowing but a good refresher.

Draught. Light lactic, lemon nose, minerals and light funk. Looks like grapefruit juice. Nice lemony flavor, light tartness, a bit of yogurt. Smooth and light. Enjoyable but not hugely flavorful.

Pour is a black with an average tan head. Aroma is chocolate with some roasted oats. Flavor is about the same a decent rosted malt’oat with some chocolate. My problem is that the flavor does not really stand out. The flavors are there but kinda weak and watery for the style.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is some slight citrus with some bubblegum sweetness. Flavor is light wheat malts with some lemon juice sourness. This was deffinaly more of an wheat ale then a German hefe. It may have been infected with the high head and sourness.

750 c&c from Wine and Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours very hazy orange gold with a 3 finger creamy white head. Aroma is slightly tart and smells of peaches. Med body. Foamy carb. Flavor is earthy and barnyard. It’s definitely fairly bretty. It’s oak astringent. Don’t get vanilla. Might be a bit of red grape for fruit, but it’s mostly peach. Finishes tart/sour, earthy, less bretty than the start, and quite tasty.

16oz can poured into a smaller Cosendonk goblet. I will start by saying this brewery is pretty disappointing and this beer confirms that. Beer pours with an initially large head but that fades very quick. Aroma is mineral, lightly acidic, wet paper, and watered down roast. Flavor follows with very thin and moderately acidic old, cheap diner, day-old coffee with highlights of cigarette butts. Could not finish this or really just did not want to.
