Well, congrats, Dale’s. You’ve made a craft lager as bland and unappealing as Mich Ultra. Nice work.

Big burst of floral/herbal hop notes followed by a slight hit of cracker malt and then a bitter seltzer finish. Half of half a beer. I’ve had a couple of decent N/A pints, but I don’t think a pils works as one. Eh.

The menu said “barrel-aged tripel”, but I wasn’t quite prepared for the complexity in the creation of this pint; bourbon-barrel tripel this ain’t. Comes across almost as a wild beer due to the underlying vinous/funk notes, and the peach and berries add an unexpected tart acidity. Not bad, but the “barrel-aged tripel” needs a HUGE asterisk.

Cocoa, caramel, and a hint of red apple on the front end, then unsweetened cocoa and a floral bitterness on the finish. Seems kind of dark for the style, but not bad.

Sharp pop of grapefruit, passion fruit, and peach notes, followed by minerals and a chalky bitterness. Dry pine finish. Not bad.
