Smells of clean tropical fruit; I don't know if I'd say Dragon Fruit but it's less dank than your typical passion-pineapple mix. Flavor is bright and fruity, very mild resin and good effervescence. Finish is clean and not bitter. Very, very tasty!
Cucumber is quite pronounced in this Gose, which was a nice touch. A lot of the rindy bitterness makes a nice counter to the medium-tart Gose. Slight salt and a whole lot of sediment.
An odd beer. Clear maple / burnt sugar notes come on, almost too strong, but without any sweetness. The base brown ale is quite hoppy and floral, which combine with the maple to make for a dank, rooty flavor that tastes somewhere between ginseng and licorice. Easy to drink, but hard to love, and the ugly opaque brown color didn't help.
This was really weird, like drinking dry sourdough with a touch of brown sugar on top. The finish is more than a little salty. Cierra said this was like a Cheesecake Factory dark loaf in beer form, and I think that's spot on. This was worth drinking, but definitely odd.
Very on the nose, toffee-chocolate ale with a Southern Tier-like quality. More a light-bodied stout than a brown. A little too blunt for me to love, but enjoyable. Strong!
