Brewery draught, 12/5/25.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, drab brass-bronze-golden with a small, white head.
Fruity, lightly woody and lightly piney, but not any significant resin. Some fruity yeast, but not intensely so.
More of a West Coast with a chewy, hazy texture and perhaps more all-around fruitiness. Still a good deal of pine and wood with light spice. Maybe a touch too much of all of that overall, but very competent nonetheless.

Brewery draught, 12/5/25.
Mostly clear, bright goldenrod with a small, but firm, white head.
Fruity with leafy, earthy, peppery hops that are similarly bright like the Clockwork Mandarina. Yeast is very tasteful, better than Chouffe Dobbelen, with less crude ester/phenol. Just some fruitiness, lighter white pepper and a bit of stone fruit. Biscuity malts gently balance.
Fruity, medium-bodied with excellent malt depth and attenuation. Herbal, grassy and floral hops aren't my favorite, but there's significantly lower crude yeast character than most Belgian beers of this style. Nice snappy, malty, fruity finish.

Brewery draught, 12/5/25, as pictured.
Bright and hoppy with fresh, fruity and citrusy hops with a touch of pine and grass. Cracker and light honey-like malt gently balances. Yeast is fruity but not too heavily estery. Just a real fresh, bright, highly aromatic hoppiness to it.
Same in flavor. Good medium, malty body with good attenuation and fruity, brightly citrusy hops with balanced bitterness and a clean finish. Usually hate Mandarina Bavaria hops, but they are done tastefully here (not overboiled).

Brewery draught 12/6/25.
Clear golden with a small, but somewhat firm, white head.
Smells the part with an excellent, authentic yeast signature and good malt character without too much breadiness. Mild but evident, herbal and grassy hops. Reasonably crisp in the end.
Similar flavors with a lighter but not thin body and ample malt. Yeast and hop lighten the fairly dry finish. Clean, flavorful, drinkable.

Flight taster. Reddish brown, with a ring of light foam. Easy toasty malt nose. Good brown ale on the palate, almost in English style. I can taste the great malt for sure. A slight earthy note of English hop. But am equal measure of sleep fruitiness.

Thirsty Moose Exeter draught, 2/9/25.
Clear dark tan-auburn-mahogany. Little head.
Maple, cream, brown sugar and mild roast. Clean, fruity, not buttery.
Soft and lightly syrupy, lots of vanilla, raisin, brown sugar and molasses. Succulent, sweet though drying properly on the finish. Mild roasted acidity.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheets to coat surface. Mild melon aromas. Medium bodied with hot caramel and sour milk upfront continuing into the mud in your face finish. Not for me.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Foamy off-white head with excellent retention recedes leaving soapy spiders. Sourdough multigrain and tangerine aromas. Crisp with golden syrup, overripe melon and tropical fruit peel front to back. Lasting earthy pine and bitter mango peel finish.
