Oakes Profile - Brewver

Slight pinkish, smells appley. Not sure I specifically get quince, but not sure I would. Tart, has some acidity, an off-dry finish. Not super complex, okay apple notes, and again it's not that clear about the quince, but I'm not sure it ever is.

Vertignasse from Brasserie Fantôme

7.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Dullish pale, decent effervescence. Thin head. The aroma has mint, other herbals, and a lot of saisony yeasty notes. On the palate, it's light, mellow saison notes, some liquorice, some herbaceous accents. Off-dry yeasty finish. Solid.

The Tenth Nail from Fremont Brewing Company

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Dark brown. No head. Soft body, and it's quite sweet. I definitely get that maple. Light cinnamon, vanilla as well. Good body. Balanced to the sweet side, but the nuances from the barrel aren't bad. I don't know what it was like fresh but for three years old it seems a bit older than that, maybe picking up some oxidation. Nothing stands out here - there's a good base, some fun elements, but doesn't have a high level.

Dark brown. This has a lot of cinnamon. Dark sugars. Less thick than usual, but still pretty good body. Not sure if I get the coffee, but I do get a nice decent barrel character.

In the Blazing Forest (Blend #2, 2024) from Floodland Brewing

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Hazy pale. Medium head. Refined brett, floral notes, pale malt, very appetizing. Fairly tart, some florals, decent brett. This has more acidity than most Floodlands, which serves as a restraint for the bretty, floral character. Still solid.

Bombo from Menno Olivier Brewing

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Pale, amber, slight haze. The aroma is quite estery, some plastic notes. On the palate, it's sticky, phenolic, some esters. There's a bit of malt but it's not all that complex. A touch of honeyish note. A bit of alcohol in there as well, but it's pretty messy.

Burschenpils from Braugasthof Papiermühle (Jenaer)

4.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 3 Flavor 3 Texture 5 Overall 5

Hazy, pale, thin head. This has a diacetyl aroma. There's some earthy hops, but the diacetyl really does get in the way here. It's unfortunate.
