What else members are drinking

They renamed this "Benevolent Blonde" for charity. Tastes a little fruitier, a little less lagery than my previous description. Not bad.
Draft
After the previous two beers this really kind of stuck out as gimmicky. A bit over-roasty and tacky with cinnamon coming through first, and then a not super integrated apple flavor.
Can
A really fine dubbel ... brown sugar and biscuit up front, with a unexpectedly fruity, dry finish. Raisin-ish, maybe.
Bottle
This is absolutely no knock on the beer; it was just under 12 years old! In fact, in its defense it was surprisingly palatable for a beer that age: no weird sediment, some molasses caramel syrup, a clean but prominent raw alcohol flavor. Enough left to hint at past greatness, even if we waited too long.
Bottle
Very dry, very peachy - like the flesh of the fruit and not at all candy-like. Assertively tart but not puckeringly sour. Extremely clean.
Both coconut and vanilla are the faintest hints, but there’s an overall mild sweetness that works well with the cask flatness. Slightly tart and tacky but cleans up quick.
A clean if unremarkable lemon-pine IPA. Maybe if this wasn't my third I would have a more defined opinion on it.
A nice German hefe, banana, slightly tangy, clove-forward.
A really nce citrus hazy with notes of orange and mango. No bitterness and a clean finish.
Intense citrus/grape fruitiness, almost over the top but stats on the right side. Bright and finishes mellow.
Fragrant and flavorful, a robust lager with fruity/citrus overtones.
Thick and sweet, like most Bottle Logic stouts. Smells very nutty and tastes like smooth chocolate sauce, and booze. In my memory this isn't quite as great as the Shell Theory, but it is very nice.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Fragrance of banana hard candy. Flavor is not so much cream pie, but is very roasty coffee, candy banana. Thick and tacky.
May have been a mispour, sinc ethis tastes very much like a wit. Peppery and estery, dry and very drinkable. (Tap was one away from Holy Mountain White Lodge—possibly that?)
Grapey, unsweet, light buttery notes and some dry bitterness bring out the vinous aspects nicely. Alcohol pokes through a bit strongly.
Grapefruit / pineapple / vanilla. It's like a weird cross between a creamsicle and a citrus smoothie. For its style it's not bad, but a few too many flavors to be truly enjoyable.
