Subdued hefe; hits the standards of the style, but never develops much depth beyond initial notes of banana, vanilla, and clove. Strong yeasty note provides a tart middle, leading to a lemon streak on the back end overpowering the subtle grassy hefe fade you want. Pretty, though.

16 oz. Aroma is bready, grainy, peppery, floral. Pours nearly clear sunshine golden with a one finger white head that falls somewhat quickly into a ring. Taste has a moderate herbal bitterness with some light malt sweetness in the background; finishes fairly dry. There's a somewhat savory, almost tomato soup type note that I'm not too crazy about, but it's not that prominent so I can ignore it without too much difficulty. A good pils overall.

Black with a brown head - Dark malt with a heavy wood aroma - Dark malt body with a heavy bourbon and wood barrel flavour with alcohol heat - The wood with bourbon, vanilla and alcohol heat goes into the finish - This was good

Hype beer and hype whiskey, what can go wrong? Not much, in this case. A damn delicious BBA stout, very smooth, rich, sweet bourbon, and a hint of molasses. Really lots of bourbon, but the base can handle most of it. Oh, and it's double waxed!

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours clear bright gold with a slightly yellow tinged head. Aroma of tropicals and pine. Med plus body. There's some juiciness. Yet dry. Bitter for sure. Pine. Tropicals may include green melon. The dry, astringent bitterness is making hop parsing difficult for me. But that's the price you pay for super West Coast DIPA! Great ale.
