Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a lightly hazy burnt orange appearance with a cream colored head. Pear, caramel, cinnamon, toast, and brown sugar in the nose. Light body. Quite a bit of spice. Apples and pears are prevalent. Some cinnamon and cloves. Not bad. Not great.

On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a light yellow appearance with a little haze and a white head. Pear, Apple, white pepper, and a little candy in the aroma. Medium light body. Flavor is full of candy but not overly sweet. Lots of apple, pear, banana, and gum. Low bitterness. Moderate sweetness. Fine.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 4.5
On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a clear, deep brown appearance with a brown head. Banana, toast, dark chocolate, and a bit of pepper in the aroma. Thin body. Some bubblegum, burnt malts, pear, char, and cola in the flavor. Kind of weird. More of a scroll past situation.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 7
On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a deep brown appearance with a dark brown head. Some char, light smoke, heavily roasted malts, light caramel, and chocolate in the aroma. Medium light body. Moderate bitterness. Low sweetness. A lot of burnt ashy smoke lingers on the tongue after the finish. Some chocolate. I like it though the body is a little too thin. A hint of graham crackers as well. I’d but this again. Spoke too soon. Last gulp had some butter on the back end.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5
On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a hazy dark orange appearance with a tan head. Heavy butter / butterscotch, orange, grapefruit, and a touch of caramel in the nose. Medium light body. More diacetyl in the mouth. Moderate bitterness. A little watery. Orange juicy. If it was a little cleaner, I think is would be interesting.

On tap @ the Æ brewery. Pours a hazy yellow orange appearance with a thin white head. Lightly herbal aroma with some orange, lemon, and a hint of gum. Light body. Flavor is a little corny. Grassy and herbal. Low sweetness. Pretty easy to chug. Nice alternative for the Bud Light crowd.
notalush (7339) reviewed Meristem Imperial Stout from FERMÆNTRA 11 years ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Assertive, agressive, but not over-assertive American imperial stout - black with a tan head - hearty, oily texture - intensely roasty, smoky, moderately bitter, but with balancing notes of sweet vanilla and maple - woody, bitter, smoky finish - very good, but slightly boozy as it warms.
notalush (7339) reviewed Aphion IPA from FERMÆNTRA 11 years ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5.5
Kind of a sugary sweet ipa - I suppose the high.sweetness is needed to somewhat balance the fairly assertive bitterness - this creates a flavor of mandarin oranges in syrup and maraschino cherries - a lot of candied citrus in the.finish, along with strong but not abrasive bitterness -slight buttery diacetyl in the finish - potential in the recipe, but too sweet right now.
notalush (7339) reviewed Fluence Hefeweizen from FERMÆNTRA 11 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5.5
A bit of a disappointment, this - very little of the classic hefe yeast character - high tartness, bordering on sourness - a bit of melon - very mild white.pepper - slight metallic character - mild lemon/citrus finish - texture is nice and creamy, though.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Black pour - more like a black ipa in that the saison yeast character is minimal and the flavor is dominated.mosty by dry, moderately bitter malts and herbaceous hop character - light earthiness, but also a bit of root vegetable - finish on the thin side - this one’s a meh for me.
