Pours a cloudy bright yellow straw color with very little head. A thin ring of white foam wraps around the edges of the glass. The aroma is tart sour citrus with a bit of floral and yeast. The taste is even more bold and rich that the aroma. Big blast of tart lemon citrus. Some earthy farmhouse type flavors with yeast and a touch of oak in the finish. The tart citrus flavor is the big player here and is very refreshing and enjoyable. Light body with a high level of carbonation. Champagne l...read more

Pours extremely cloudy with minimal white head that quickly becomes nothing more than a ring. Aroma is tart most of all. Hay and lemon add accent. Brett add a nice floral level of complexity. Taste is very interesting. There is a delicate tartness that rides alongside light malts. They don't take turns but fight the taste buds for favor. Tartness is up front becoming a bit more acidic towards the finish. Light, which it needs to be for the delicate complexities to shine. Fine carbonatio...read more

Look: Straw in color, extremely hazy. I thought a wit would be... less hazy. Aroma: Tart. You just know this beer is going to have a snap to it. Taste: Tart, sweet. I have to say.... the tart is up there, but it quickly fades and that doesn't leave a burn that can turn people off. Delicate was tossed out as a word. I agree. Light, crisp, delicate, but complex. Oak aged doesn't contribute an overt oak flavor, but I would say that oak "smooth" element brings it together. I w...read more

Pours a cloudy medium amber color with a one inch white head. The head settles out fairly quickly leaving a thin layer of foam resting on top. The aroma is mostly tart cherries with a bit of sweetness mixed with a bready scent. The aroma is a little bit odd to me. The sour tartness mixed with yeast and bread is a bit pungent. The flavor is similar to the aroma with a big tart cherry flavor that is blended with a bready malt. A bit of spice is noticeable on the finish and in the aftertaste. ...read more

Batch #1 Pours a clear dark amber brown color with a huge frothy khaki colored head. I had to wait a few minutes for the head to diminish to finish the pour. Good retention on the head with lots of thick lacing. The aroma is a blend of malts and bread with a citrus hop and a touch of spice. A nice aroma, but a bit weak. The taste starts with a malty breadiness and quickly moves into a light floral and lemon and finishes with a big grapefruit flavor with a bit of spice. A dry bitterness tha...read more

Pours a hazy deep golden orange with a half inch orange-white head that settles quickly into a thin swirl of foam on top of the beer. No lacing. The aroma is a mix of tangerines and oranges with some slight grain. The tangerine and orange aroma is bold, fresh and very pleasant. The taste is a huge tart tangerine and orange flavor up front and works into a wheat flavor with a citrus bitterness in the aftertaste. Light body with a high level of carbonation. The bold citrus mixed with the hig...read more

Pours a medium amber brown color with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates leaving a thin layer of foam resting on top. A fair amount of lacing. The aroma is light sweet malt aroma with a bit of floral hops. The taste starts with light sweet caramel malt, some dry bready malt flavors and moves to a dry floral hop on the finish. The aftertaste has hints of citrus and honey wrapped around a slightly bitter hop. Light to medium bodied with medium somewhat fizzy carbonation. Watery ...read more

Pours a dark amber brown with a frothy light tan quarter inch head. Good retention on the head with thick spotty lacing adorning the sides of the glass. The aroma is sweet with caramel malts, grain, and a touch of spice. The taste starts off dry and works into a blend of sweet malts and bread type flavors, finishing with a dry slightly bitter earthy hop. Some yeast and tart type flavors are noticeable in the after taste. Light to medium body with a very drinkable personality and a some what ...read more

Pours a clear amber brown color with a half inch cream colored head. Good retention on the head as it rests on top with tightly formed bubbles. Lots of thick lacing covers the edges of the glass. The aroma is a nice mix of citrus hops and caramel malts. A nice clean refreshing aroma that is nicely balanced and inviting. The taste is rich and complex. Starts with a sweet caramel malt and quickly blends into a bold citrus hop with a dry dark fruit flavor showing itself just after the citrus ...read more

The pour on this beer is a bit unusual, as the label on the bottle instructs you to "Pour Hard". That is what I did and was really impressed with what I saw. The hard pour resulted in a turbulent rush of carbonation that surges from the bottom of the glass. A very "Guinness like" look as the beer slowly fades from the bottom to the top with a tan type color, leaving behind a black beer with a beautiful tightly formed tan head resting on top. Great retention on the head as...read more

Pours clear with half pour of white, tightly packed foam. Retention is above average. Lacing is very thick , coating, and very sticky. Aroma is fruit an floral hops. There is an underlying grain that pokes through. Taste allows for a sweetness with more hop bitterness than hop flavor. There is a strong sense of alcohol to the finish. Medium body with a slight creaminess that could be sensed as a bit heavier. Heavy for an IPA. Medium carbonation. A little unbalanced for me with a bit...read more

Pours a clear amber color with an inch of off white frothy head that settles into a thin tightly formed layer of foam resting on top. Thick watery lacing sheets down the sides of the glass. The aroma is sweet with floral hops and caramel malts. A sweetness almost like honey that is very pleasing. The taste is sweet up front and works into a floral hop. Finishing with an herbal tea like flavor. Green tea with honey is what comes to mind as this flavor lingers on the palate. A slight bittern...read more
