Sampler at the source. Deep brown color with brilliant clarity. Earthy smokey nose and flavor with a sweet melanoidin malt character and just a hint of floral hop. A bit smokey for my tastes, but a clean well made beer.

On tap at the source. Slightly hazy deep yellow color without much of a head. Sweet bready malt with a hint of caramel and some nice pine and citrus to counter. Pretty easy to drink and tasty.

From my brother: pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate, cinnamon, other spice. Taste is chocolatey. Cinnamon is not too heavy up in there. Mild heat at the finish from the pepper. Not bad.

Sampled at the source last night. From notes: amber in color, thin lasting head. Aroma is mild toffee, hint of citrus.
Mild bread base with a mild rye component. The rue doesn’t show me any spice. The flavor is typical of an ESB. Lighter body with a easy level of carbonation. If you enjoy the style, this certainly is easy enough to drink.

Sample at the source. Hazy brown color, aroma is malt and coffee bitterness. Flavor maybe has some biscut grain "pretzel" type hints. The body is on the lean side and overall more bitter then I was guessing. Maybe over extracted coffee bean.

4 oz. taster at the brewery. Clear red / amber in color with small foamy head. Aroma is mild citrus and light shades of pine. The flavor shows citrus and light grassy notes upfront with the lager yeast showing mid-sip. The finish shows grapefruit, mild lager funk, light lingering bitterness.
Dry texture with a lighter body. I like this more than the standard Hopstruck. Nicely constructed lager for sure.

Keg at Lui Lui’s - West Lebanon, NH. Pours clear, bright gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has pithy citrus, lemon peel, dried pale malts. Light sweet flavour with dominant flinty minerality, more pithy citrus, rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more mineral flint, faint ash, lemon peel. So so overall.

Tap at Thirsty Moose Manchester Mostly clear burnt golden color without much of a head by the time it arrived at my table. Light lemony tart cherry aroma with faint bready malt. Sweet bread up front light lemony cherry flavor light lingering tartness in the finish. Not bad but not really all that tart.

Cask at GBBF 2016, Day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white crown. Tart and citrusy, with suggestions of lemon and tangerine. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Good and quenching in the finish, with bright and tangy orange juice. Great stuff.
