Delicious. Fresh grainy pale malts, sun-kissed biscuits and cereal, mild grassy bitterness, straw. Clean and lip-smacking to finish. Lovely balance.

Good stuff overall. Fairly clean. Eatery snout. Moderate sweetness, nips of citrus, flaked wheat, lemon peel, banana chips. Nice depth. Could be creamier but overall it’s well enjoyable.

Mellow smoke character, toasted bread, earth. There are some tangy-fruit kind of notes that seem off - perhaps suggestive of an infection. Could be good but seems out of shape.

Golly that’s good. Exquisitely balanced. Robust smoked malt, burnt ham, nips of toasted caramel, burnt cereal, roast, hint of cocoa. Light bodied with massaging carb. Lip-smacking finish. Nice depth. Sound.

Keg at Honeycomb in Brooklyn. Good stuff albeit pretty basic. Light hoppy bite, mostly pale bread, moderate sweetness, some biscuit.

Wow that’s good stuff. Super clean, moderate acidity, notes of lemon, tangerine, pale wood, soft funk. Delicate salinity. Light bodied with massaging carb. Lightly drying finish, tart and quenching but not at all overbearing. Super.

Super tasty stuff, fresh pale biscuits, sourdough, a little bitter straw. Clean and refreshing.

Bottle picked up via trade. Rich, not overly sweet, stewed dark fruits, booze, layered roast and cocoa. Nibbles of oxidation. Some earth, burnt earth. Well rounded.

Picked up in trade. Lovely toasted malts, dry toffee and caramel, stewed fruits, understated bourbon, raisins. Good body, not overly sweet. Moderately warming to finish.
