Logs for beers from this brewery

Kind of a nothingburger after the POG. Generically dry bubbly saison with no real offensive, but also no interesting flavors.
I DO NOT REMEMBER ONE IOTA OF DETAIL ABOUT THIS BEER
Bottle at Raman's
Smells and tastes of granny smith apples. Hint of citrus flavors. Light bitterness and funkiness. Honey flavors.
Bottle at Home
Inky-thick stout with a roast malt flavor. Unlike other oyster stouts, there isn't a clear saline aspect or any kind of tongue-coating umami flavor -- at least not that I could detect. Instead, there was a hint of something around the edges giving a sense of depth. I think that gave it a sense of Imperial strength, despite it being only 6%. Quite good.
Even better the second time. The fragrance is stronger, slightly fruity, but totally in harmony with the cereal body and pilsner bitterness that follows. A keeper -- I wish they bottled this!
I really liked this a lot; it had the amped-up pilsner flavor of, say, a Pravda Pils but also a rounded mellowness that made it seem more like a balanced beer. Very, very nice.
