Logs for beers from this brewery

A little flat, vanilla, bubblegum, faint chai spice, caramel
I dunno. Maybe it’s me, but anything heavier than a lager doesn’t seem to go with Chinese food for me... which is a shame because this beer was pretty good. Just didn’t go well with dinner.
Nitro Draft at DTF, Seattle
I dunno, sort of fruity tart, I dunno. Not like a real sour.
Can at Work
Tart, very tart. Gummy in the back of the throat. Faint melon that grew stronger over time, especially after a sip of the Black House. My memory of this out of the bottle was fonder, but this was still decent.
Not like a gin & tonic at all, other than there being some lime present, but actually pretty good. Salty gose finish almost brings a margarita to mind, but there's very little booze character present to nail the idea - either gin or tequila.
Fruity, almost like a screwdriver.
Bottle at A Friend's
After the Southern Tier the first sip was mouth-puckeringly sour, but that mellowed out over time. There's a nice watermelony fragrance, which also comes out in the flavor after that first hit of sour. Medium-strong salt afterwards. It's bracing, but quite nice.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Musty sourness and a very distinct salt aftertaste. This is probably the saltiest of the goses I've tried. Flat out of the tap, but the keg blew.
Pumpkin spices but a bit bland
Bottle at Home
Oatmeal but lacking in the malt department.
Bottle at Home
Thin stout with a light bourbon presence. Leaves no tackiness which is nice but doesn't have some more of the malt or bourbon characteristics that could be there instead.
This is PIE BEER. Is there anything better? No. It has all the good spices and squash-ness of a pumpkin pie but without being too sweet or too over-spiced. I can't taste a single artificial flavor in there (so if there are any, AVBC are a crafty lot). Also, my bottlecap says "the best part of waking up is Boont Amber in your cup." Ha. Bahl hornin' indeed.
Bottle at Home
This smelled really promising. The bourbon worked well in the flavor and was not as fiery as I would have expected with Wild Turkey. The overall flavor, though, was thinnish, unpleasantly sour, and the carbonation quite flat.
Light summer ale with a sweet taste.
Opens up like a crisp, refreshing summer beer but with a hit of a cotton candy finish that was a bit too blatant for my taste.
