Fragrant, pleasantly sweet, buttery. Very light bitterness and finishes with an appealing, aftertaste.

As Gene said, it's like sparkling raspberry water that's gone off. I just feel it's like fake raspberry and water. Bleh.

Watery. And now that matt and gene mention, fake fruity.

Caramel and Copper. And I am not referring to the color. This is actually like a marzen except that it is metallic and bitter. Odd. It's not quite awful, but I'd rather have a legitimate marzen.

Matt pointed out a metallic aftertaste that once noticed, Cabot be ignored. Alas.

A little less character than I'd like but maybe i shoulda had this before the sour

Really nicely balanced. Just sour enough, not too bitter.

Tastes more like a light American pale. And I don't note anything of the beet in the flavor

Good for summer for sure.

Wow, juicy! Like red grapefruit, with just a hint of bitterness.

Light, somewhat lemony with a strong bitter backbone.

Think mouth feel, but really rather dry and bitter. I don't really get chocolate, but I do taste the Walnut.

Clear, fairly bitter dark. Good as a drink, not super exciting as far as a tasting.

Sharp and bitter, almost like a Pils. Hm, look at that, Pilsner malt. There you go. Still a little brackish, but now clear than most German style pilsners. Really rather tasty.

A lot more boring than it seemed in the early days of my beer drinking. Smooth, with a nice mellow bourbon character - that was nice. But the base porter was very thin and more than a little sour, which were clear minuses. Still, a lot better than mediocre.

The draft board said this was a differently-named CDA, but the server said it was a dark lager and it tasted like one. Light-flavored, hints of coffee and cola-like fruitiness, and more than a little chocolate.

Still a great fruit beer. Lovely on a hot day, especially outdoors.

My sweetness gauge was probably off due to the two beers before this, but I still really liked this. A rich, nutty coffee flavor in a dry brown ale with smoky, roasted notes. It may have veered a little towards over-roasting, but overall was very nice. It just had the bad luck of being paired with two vastly better beers.

Do you like mocha? Good. Because that's exactly what you'll get with this delicious beer. Highly recommended.

Fizzy slightly acidic start.

Lots of smokiness' to this smooth porter. Lovely chocolate finish.

Tons of yummy pine notes with a hop forward finish. Easily one of my go to IPAs.

Light wood smell. Thin taste with wood and sweet wood finish.

It was nice to have this with the two Hoppy Holidays. The bourbon presence is strong and smoothing, but you can definitely taste the base beer beneath.

Basically the same as the 2013 but with a noticeable and initially unpleasant hop bite to start. It did get better over time, but definitely lost.

Round hop fruitiness melts quickly into a mellow cereal-sweet malt. I don't know how much of this was the aging, but it seemed like a very well balanced winter ale.

Mouth-puckeringly tart but also very clean with a nice flavor. Leaves the mouth tingling. I'm no expert in sours, but this seems more like an oud bruin than any kind of fruit sour or lambic.

Free supermarket tasting. Nice, bitter sharpness at the front, dry follow-through. Fragrant but not fruity, with absolutely no finishing bitterness.

A bit of funk on the nose and good malt, but a touch watery. Lots of yeast presence, mostly tending towards bubblegum.

Watery on the palate, a nice hazelnut and roasted malt finish, but overall thin.

Yum! Great beer for brunch! And not overly sweet at all!

Jammed packed with hop flavor. But not to fruity. Love it.

On tap this had a much more overt cereal malt finish than I remembered from the bottle. Still dry, still very fresh tasting, still tasty.

Light tasting IPA with a good solid and simple resin bitterness.

(taster) Sharp and thin body. Sweet citrus body. Schooner Exact rep is at our table. :)

Extremely fragrant, fresh tasting session IPA, tending to the fruity side without being syrupy. A small hit of pithy bitterness at the finish but it goes away fast. Really, really pleasant.

Corn sweet body. Resinous moderate bitter finish. Not complex.

Pretty much exactly what you'd expect a Session IPA made by this group to be. There's distinct but not overwhelming hop flavors shining through making this earn the "IPA" title, but not so much that a non-IPA fan would dislike it. This is a Session IPA (emphasis on IPA) done right. Not the deepest flavors, but good for what it is.

Part of a flight. inoffensive. Decent. Much less interesting than yesterday's Uncle Big's Brown.

What could have been a decent beer, vanquished at last by the forces of sour.

Hoppy and woody are not compatible flavors.

Tastes a lot like a strong barrel-aged barley wine: caramel, hoppy, rounded and mellow (think Old Birdbrain) -- but with some roasty dark flavor added.

Hopped Coke smell. Pleasant hops of the thin non-lingering variety. Good wood finish and fairly effervescent quality.

Too much on the woodsy side and not enough on the bourbon barrel for my taste.

Fragrant, with a bit of characteristic amarillo bite in the hop flavor. Finishes clean, but feels kind of empty in body.

Tempered IPA, lots of body to enjoy. Good finishing bitterness of the peppery type, not acrid. Pleasant cereal taste.

Mild malt smell with slight hops. Bitter finish. Starting flavor develops over time as initially it was a bit tame, more malts come out with that the finish smooths out.

I would rather drink Miller Light than this beer. It smelled like laundry that has been sitting in my washing machine for 48-hours and tasted like old cheese that was watered down and left out in the sun for a week. It did have a lovely peachy color. Also, there was a dubious sticker on the bottle that had obviously been added after the label, covering up the alcohol volume percentage. It made me wonder what the ACTUAL alcohol volume percentage of stinky laundry-cheese-water is, since they were apparently trying to hide whatever they had originally printed on the label. Bleh.

Yeah it's better than pbr.

Very smooth, light on flavor but what's there is is good. Good pick for an any-mood pleaser.

Goes okay with kielbasa but otherwise okay and no taste dimension was distracting. Not a thin beer so not anytime for me.

This is what I think of for an IPA, bitter start and finish.

Not super happy with the nutty-sour finish.

Disappointing compared to the barrel aged version.

Not a remarkable beer.
