Funk up front but mostly turns into a candy fruit sweetness. Dragonfruit and strawberry jam? I went back and forth whether I was vibing with it or not through the course of the glass.

Candy fruit up front, appropriately tropical but kind of stays sweet.

Dry, bracing, fruity on the finish but the flavor is more along the lines of the oils than the juice here.

Effervescent, tropical-citrus hazy, thick but quite balanced. Like a fizzy hard candy of a beer. Really pungent but it's doing it for me todya, and let's face it, you brew a Mariners-themed beer I'm going to drink it.

Generally I like this beer but today it has a murky, dishwatery quality.

A sweet, cereal lager with a pretty intense peach flavor upfront. Peach breakfast cereal? It’s interesting but also quite weird.

Fruity opening, very malty, perhaps overly malty. Turns a corner into almost going sour. Grassy/wet hay aftertaste.

Chocolate, roast, milky. Somewhat brackish mouthfeel.

Clean but not exactly bright; coriander, cloudy funk. Ends with tartness.

A sweetish lager, lightly fruity, with some wet-hay-like funk. Tastes English if you ask me.

Intensely pungent lemon-pine IPA with vegetal overtones and a drying middle. Light diacetyl butteriness. Finishes clean but this is not a light-hearted beer.

The lavender is not at the forefront here. It’s primarily a citrus IPA with a strong, sweet overtone (I think this is where the lavender is coming in). The hops are pretty assertive and get stronger through the glass.

Don't get a lot of barrel here. It's a smooth stout with caramel notes but it's almost more savory than sweet, despite a foamy, malty finish. Feels like this is maybe quite different every year.

Sweet and tacky with a spicy nutmeg overtone. Plummy. Lots of backend bitterness.

Buttery, bitter, pine, dry.

Starts with a really tart white peach flavor, almost candy-like, but resolves into a bit of drying bitter lemon, ensuring a clean finish.

Chocolate, light roast, the flavor is good if an little murky; ends tackier than I like.

Despite the description, this is not at all fruit-forward. It feels like a somewhat hoppy Belgian pale; spicy and dry, and if there is fruit it’s more perfumey and bitter.

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.

Light, chocolate, a bright stout. Finish is buttery caramel and roast. Hints of almond? Board says “macadamia/toasted coconut” and I definitely see the former, less of the latter.

Bright raspberry flavor set against a fairly alcohol-sweet, malty blonde base. Unlike the other berry beers here this one actually tastes like a beer (not that the others aren't good, but I was in a mood). Normally this might be too sweet but it was fine in context.

Light-bodied stout but with a rich caramel/chocolate smoothness. Just a touch of Port fruitiness, good barrel character.

Looks like I had this on nitro last time. This was CO2 this time and I think maybe I’m missing the touch of sweetness nitro might have added (though I’m not getting the soapy bit). The tartness takes over somewhat, even though it’s not that pronounced. Still interesting though.

Smells of sweet chocolate, almost minty. The first taste is a bit of a shock, dry, a touch tart, and then resolves into a smooth, subdued dark chocolate. If there’s Bourbon it’s mostly showing up as sweetness. There’s a slight soapy quality from the nitro but otherwise a nice light stout.

Slightly resinous hop smell, bitterness up front. Really nice blueberry fruitiness leads into a kind of caramel amber / hop perfume finish. Finishes clean. Just a tiny bit disappointed the beer is not blue.
