Not sure if there’s too much vanilla or if there’s just nothing to the brown ale in the first place, but this pint’s like 90% vanilla bean and 10% chocolate/caramel/nuts. Finishes with the slightest bit of roast bitterness. Eh.

Big, ugly, murky, and undercarbonated, but still decent. Big juicy notes of melon and mango and creamsicle, with a pine backbone and lingering vanilla sweetness. A better example of a style I grow more tired of everyday.

Middle-of-the-road amber lager, notes of caramel and toasted bread and a touch of apple but subdued like any Modelo beer. Eh.

Seems to be a good idea but has a couple off flavors reminiscent of a dirty tapline, a little yeasty tartness offset by a soapy vegetal note and an outsized bitterness. Bad can, maybe?

Very crisp and floral, with a modest amount of citric hops and a spicy finish. Lingering bitterness is nice.
