Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

16 oz. can. Aroma is weak cracker and mild honey type malt. Flavor has a substantial amount of malt. Low hop profile and the finish is sweet. If there were hops at the start of this recipe, they didn’t survive. Just ok for me.

4 oz draft. Aroma shows pineapple and very soft passionfruit. Flavor has a flimsy cracker malt backbone with the passionfruit and pineapple. The flavor is decent. Just wish these brews weren’t all so thin.

4 oz draft. Aroma shows weak lime, mild mango-ish hints. Flavor follows with a soft touch of pineapple. Malt backbone could be better. If this had a bit more body, it would be proper.

4 oz draft at the brewery. Pitch black color. Aroma has soft dark fruit, prune, raisins. Flavor is very similar. Alcohol is not noticeable. Yet, I was hoping for a lot more body for the style. Pretty thin.

4 oz draft at the brewery. Brown in color, zero head. Aroma shows mild oats, weak chocolate. The flavor would indicate it is lighter then 5.3%. It shows almost zero malt backbone. Thin would be a compliment. This has oats? Wish it would taste more like it smelled. This needs a lot of work.

4 oz draft at the brewery. Aroma is mild lemongrass and light wheat. Flavor follows with maybe a hint of black pepper. Weak yeast esters. Light body. Pretty much as expected.

4 oz draft. Aroma is soft citrus with mango. The flavor displays decent fruit character for such old school hop varieties. Flavor of mango, peach, with very soft floral bitterness. Balanced well.
