13 pour at the source. Probably my last one.
Pale amber brew, a little lace.
Fruity pineapple & bitter orange, lightly floral aroma.
Taste is sour pineapple & bitter orange peel, bitter onion, ever slightly oily, over a rich, crusty base. Off-dry leaning dry with a little black pepper.
Extra crispy, medium acid, lingering astringency.
Kinda solid.

At the source. In town for work. Too far away to go anywhere else without a pricey Uber.
Orange honey false pint pour; lacy.
Breakfast flakes, nose to tail. Too sweet. A twinge of earthy euro bitters lingering through the tail.
Bite-y carb but really difficult to drink too much of this.
Bleh.

Can pour, lightly hazy gold. Mango on the aroma. Lightly sweet and fruit punch mango forward. The chili burn and tingle on this is nice, not painful but a nice slow tingling burn.

Short default goblet at the source while on another work trip.
Hazy, deep orange gold pour, ample off-white head makes the pour seem a little tiny.
Orange & herbal, honey tea nose, a twinge savory.
Lots of dense tangerine & honey, bittersweet leaning sweet taste Slightly herbal with a second thrust of orange essence. Fresh mulch & a wince of onion.
Mid carbontion, a little heavy. Properly warming with enough acidity to carry. One of the best brews on a low bar I've had here.

Pint at the source. On the road again.
Very inviting, medium gold, slight haze with a whitewash soda head.
Wheaty, green strawberry nose.
Slight but effective sezuan numbness, a hint of lemon, soap, wheat forward, but the malt falls flat. Crispy, malic acid, bitter soap, a bit clove-y. Hits more like an American wheat than a Pils.

At the source on another work trip. Imperial stout on nitro, 82 degrees, cooler in the shade.
8-ish ounce slow pour, waited a few minutes for delivery. Nice stuff, cocoa head, only black body.
Raspberry & dense malt nose, soap, a little chocolate cookie. I don't believe there's any intentional fruit in here.
Floral, dark fruit. Thin, even warmth, nice fruit sharpness. Milky, bittersweet finish.
Just a bit denser & it would have been lovely.
