Very similar to the bock without the funky finish. Plummy.
Draft
Bready, lightly estery. A little weaker in flavor up front than I expected but does finish with the right assertiveness.
Draft
Mellow and light dark lager, lightly caramel, not too sweet. Pleasant.
Malty, roast amber or porter with quite a strong wood smoke permeating the flavor. Does remind me of Aecht Schlenkerla but it's a bit over the top.
Coffee, cereal, sweet, very clean. Nice to have this kind of beer without added vanilla or lactose to muddy the flavor.
Delicious! Bright, citron, cereal sweetness & funk. So clean.
Lime and pith, hoppier than I expected. Some brackishness on the finish that I can only assume is coming from the sodium.
Lemon-pine but also quite bitter and resinous. Gets more dank as time goes by.
Maltier, more biscuity than is usual for the style. Still, if you’re in the mood for it on a beautiful day, it works very nicely.
A little simplistically on the malty-sweet side. Alcohol pokes through. Does taste like honey though.
Medium-tart, quite funky, nice florality mixing with hop bitterness up top. The bitterness lingers for quite a while.
Fruity but cleanly tart, sweet cereal but not otherwise sweet or syrupy. Delicious.
Pleasant enough; coriander-forward with hints of orange. Finishes a bit alcoholic?
I don’t have it to compare but this tastes suspiciously like the Moment of Zen from earlier today.
Extremely fragrant, floral. A funky cereal finish that is lightly sweet but also a little musty.
Light fruity kolsch with some mild mint like notes at the finish. Summer drink and given the name it’s low alcohol nature and mild vibe fits with the times.

Chilled. Tasty dry blueberry notes that mix well with the golden ale notes in that way a lot of breweries wish they could manage. A bit more depth on the beer side would have taken this up a notch or two.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the specifics of the flavor of this beer but I do remember thinking this compared favorably with the Anchorage Hazy I had at Thirsty Hop earlier that week.
I thought this tasted very unusual for a schwarzbier but I can't remember the specifics anymore, just that it really appealed to me.
Bottle at Burlingame, CA
Funky and dry, lightly tart and vinous. Very tasty.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Sweet, caramel, a hint of cinnamon. Thinner than I remember Dragon’s Milk being, but it’s been a long while. Tasty.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
A quite unsweet lemon-ginger tonic mixed with a pleasant lager, which does provide a touch of cereal sweetness. While this tastes almost medicinal at first I grew to enjoy it.
Bitter and woody; lightly fruity, thin.
Sweet and hoppy with a vegetal background. It’s too challenging; don’t love it.
Prickly and bitter but very crisp.
Can at Work
Very smooth, decent if uncomplicated.
Nitro Can at Work
Apparently better than the last time I tried this. Cloudy-tasting with a bit of sweet funk.

An old-school west coast hop bomb - high, clean, equal parts cereal and lemon-pine. Clean and extremely bitter at the same time.

Light, sweet, citrus. Like an Orangina with the barest amount of hop resin. Does build up in bitterness on the finish, but this is very drinkable.
Impressions from last time still hold, except I’m not sure it grew on me this time.
Bitter chocolate, caramel, just a hint of tartness as bitterness subsides. Brackish finish.
