On tap. I like Jeff and this brewery but this should not be a top 50 hefeweizen. Clear gold, minimal head, some banana and sweet wheat, no bubblegum, and palate is lacking. A bit thin. Head should be thicker and taller. Not bad.

Kind of murky-looking, dull amber. Thin head. The aroma has a lot of rye and crystal malt...you knew it would be chewy and it is. On the palate, clean, chewy. Light alcohol, heavy rye, earthy hops, medium bitterness. Not my type of beer but seems to hit where it aimed.

Can shares by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear red with an amber hue with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a lot of sweet grains and rye with grass and a touch of pine supporting.

Cask gravity at GBBF. It pours clear copper with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is rich, sticky, oily, resin, pine, stewed orange, peachy, dank and leather. The taste is bitter, pine, resin, stickiness, oily, slick, alcohol sting, grapefruit, peppery spice, some sticky dank notes with a drying and resinous finish. Medium+ body, low carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Pretty punchy stuff. Good fun.

16 oz. can, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose brings out earthy malt, some spicy rye and bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy malt, spicy rye, light piney hops and bready malt. Spicy, herbal hops on the finish, with a dry body. Very nice.

On tap at Falling Rock, pours a clear copper with a medium white head. Aroma brings out a wonderful fresh piney hop character and a dry biscuity malt backing. Flavour is clean as well, with tons of piney hops, some hop oils and biscuity malt. So piney and dry, with a wonderfully oily palate. Wonderful stuff.
