Eden's Log

Okay, this is legitimately weird. I thought this was going to be a stout at first and when it poured bright violet I was surprised. Thick, almost sludgy, the smell is intense peanut butter. First sip is very berry jam, which is a weird transition, and then it goes peanut butter again. I've never really had a beer like this before, but it actually did satisfy my desire for a stout.

New Glarus Black Currant (2022)
It certainly tastes like black currant, which is nice and unusual, but like most of these New Glarus fruit beers, is way more juice than beer. I usually have a hard time drinking intensely fruity berry juices, and this had more or less the same effect on me.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Really a tasty lager. Starts very Bohemian but finishes with a bit of hay and cereal, brackish finish. Nicely balanced. Not sweet like a Helles, but has a good body.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Fruit candy-forward flavor, reminds me of a honey cough drop. Medium tart, wheat funk, soda-like. Pretty good.
Draft at The Pumphouse Bar & Grill, Bellevue

Same vintage as last time but there was a sour tinge to this that built up over time, kid of like that infected-barrel quality that Big Block beers tend to have. By the end of the glass I was not enjoying it anymore.
Draft at Black Raven Brewing Company, Redmond

A pale festbier. Malty, crisp apple, a little bitter, grassy. Maybe a little sweeter than I love her but pretty good.
Draft at Rhein Haus, Seattle

Looks like I had this on nitro last time. This was CO2 this time and I think maybe I’m missing the touch of sweetness nitro might have added (though I’m not getting the soapy bit). The tartness takes over somewhat, even though it’s not that pronounced. Still interesting though.
Draft at Brewing Savage Company, Kirkland

De Dolle Stille Nacht (2019)
I did not like the flavor of this one.
Draft at The Stumbling Monk, Seattle

Hanssens Oude Gueuze (unknown release)
Clean, medium tart. Liked it.
Draft at The Stumbling Monk, Seattle

Hoppy saison with a hint of pepper, finishes with a mellow cereal flavor that is probably from the grains of paradise. Lightly bitter aftertaste.
Draft at Beardslee Public House, Bothell

Quite sweet, but tempered by the coffee in a way that winds up being pretty appealing. Some of the hop pungency pokes through at the end.
Draft at Postdoc Brewing, Redmond


Reading my previous reviews, this time seems to match up most with the first time I had this.

A nostalgically hoppy amber. In the old days I would have hated this, and it's still a bit over the top but I enjoyed it.
Draft at Hurry Curry of Tokyo, Bellevue


Not sweet at all, this is a cloudy wheat beer with dry berry notes. Pretty good.

Medium-tart, dry guava flavor. If it’s not super-complex, at least it’s not super-simple. Very solid fruit sour. Wasn’t sure whether to expect coffee based on the name, but it’s not.
Draft at Woodblock, Redmond

A tasty if young-tasting barrel stout, toffee-caramel, sweet. Nice to have as an option for a nice dinner.
Draft at Crossbuck Brewing, Woodinville

Really nice without being light. Grassy, caramel, apple,some vegetal bitterness on top. They say this is lagered for 90 days, and I’m not sure what that does, but this is tasty.

Really nice, mild on the pumpkin spice, but most of the flavor is a rounded one from pumpkin flesh.
Can at Odin Lounge


Hoppy, funky, sour. Quite dry. Finishes clean. I liked it but didn't have too much of it.
Draft at Rhein Haus, Seattle

Very solid English porter, slightly tangy, chocolate, roast.
Draft at Woodblock, Redmond

Unusual flavor, high toffee sweetness leading into floral hop flavors and a toasty biscuit finish. It maintains a light mouthfeel throughout and finished clean, although there’s a strong, bitter aftertaste. I think I do like it.

I noted the almost-burnt roastiness of the Media Blackout previously and this certainly seems related. Thin, slightly tart, high, rounded bitterness. Caramel, notes of pecan.
Draft at Zulu's Board Game Cafe, Bothell

First impression is that the tangerine is dry and essence-y. This isn’t a juicy radler, and makes it a less-refreshing experience. That said, the flavors are pretty good here.
Can at Odin Lounge

Thick, malty, somewhat sweet. A big change of pace in this flight that maybe would benefit from a little space.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

An extrapolation of the Tony. Very solid, clean flavors. Tiny touch of bubblegum at the front.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

Light, bready/biscuity flavors, but not especially malty. Nice, dry, fizzy finish obscures a bit of funk.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

Lightly sweet underneath. Grassy. Bitter on top. I liked this a lot.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

Very similar to the coffee, slightly sweeter, light but not overdone coconut. I keep going back and forth about what I like better.
Draft at Chainline Brewing Company, Kirkland

Medium-thick, vanilla, wood. Nutty with slightly sweet coffee that turns a bit uric at the end. Nice.
Draft at Chainline Brewing Company, Kirkland



Definitely didn’t taste like a Mexican lager. Very hoppy, vegetal, a little soapy.

Bracingly bitter, on the metallic side but compellingly enjoyable. Slightly grapey.
Can at Home

Just a taster but this was nice. Chocolate, thinnish, roast. Touch of spice. Will have to try more later.
Bottle at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Not sure why I didn’t like this last time, but on draft this is delicious. Light, just sweet enough, tasted a ton like a bowl of Peanut Butter Crunch with milk. It would be easy to drink too much of this.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

White pepper, yeasty bitterness. Bracing, I’d call it. Tasty.

Classic, if young-tasting, barrel aged stout. Still quite sweet but less so than the mocha. Definitely thicker.

Thinnish, sugared coffee, strong alcohol. Nice aftertaste, but the uncomplicated flavor makes this less great.

Quite tart, it's dominated, almost to a pungent degree, by the flavor of lemon juice. Just a hint of lactose sugar on the finish, but it doesn't do too much to diversify the flavor. Tingles long after the sip. Would definitely have liked more "cake" here.

The same cloudy funk as the Muir Woods, but the hop presence is stronger and slightly more acrid. Malty - graham cracker/toffee sweetness on the finish.

Pine, lemon, a cloudy cereal funk. Barely bitter and very clean - liked this a lot!

Bittersweet chocolate, hint of sweetness, light, hoppy finish. Pretty good.
Draft at Faultline Brewing Company, Sunnyvale

Absolutely tasted nothing like gochugaru, absolutely tasted nothing like any kimchi I’ve ever had. It’s probably not bad but it literally failed at its one job.

Decent, light-tasting lager. Sweet barley flavor but not as watery-syrupy as, say, a Terra. Still, pretty soda-like.
Bottle at SGD Tofu House, Milpitas

Fruity, citrus, dank, perhaps a little too herbaceous. They play up the weed in the name and it certainly does bring it to mind.
Draft at Rok Steakhouse & Grill, San Jose

Dry, quite tart, light Brett funk is primary in the flavor, followed by raisin and wood. Finishes remarkably clean.

Exactly what it professes to be, smooth coffee opening, cereal sweetness but not anything on top of that, and an assertive bitterness on the end that meshes well with the coffee.
Draft at Noble Wave, Salem

Everything’s better with old friends.
Nitro Draft at Neville's Restaurant, Redmond

Going back to the base flavor just reinforced the lactic tackiness in the finish. I wonder if it's fair to call it verging on spoiled milk?
Can at Work

The most intriguing flavor was the biggest letdown. The initial taste was really off, almost vegetal, although it normalized to something more cinnamon-prominent after a couple sips.
Can at Work

All of these beers have a sour lactic finish, which I didn't love, but the coffee variant was the best one, probably because the bitter roast offset it.
Can at Work

Tannic, thin, makes me think of a nut liqueur like an amaretto or something. It’s good, but I think if there were a little more body to this thing it would be remarkable.

Light, very roasty, coffee. Not sweet at all. Bitterness lingers.

Way too much. Pine-citrus IPA, somewhat thick, very sweet.
Draft at Tipsy Cow Burger Bar, Redmond

Green Flash Nouveau Tarte (2019)
The sourest beer of the day, unidentifiable fruit, caramel.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Very tart, cranberry, puckery. Unremarkable.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Quite tart, puckery, with a significant amout of funk. Second one that approached blue cheesy flavors. Dry finish.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Dry cherry, caramel, wood. Not tart at all.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Urban Family Stellar Mass (2022)
Super-dark head and lacing. This was a remarkably redolent of cacao, pungent actually. Sweet and liqueur-like. Reminded me of the Berserker, a beer I haven't had in a very long time.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle


It's easy to take this one for granted, but I'm glad I tried it. Just super, super good.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Simplistic, sweet. Not bad, but the finish seemed a bit harsh. Other folks at the table really disliked this one this year though.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Super clean. Blueberry. Quite tart, low funk, clean. Lots of clean beers at this particular instance of Big Wood.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Very caramel apple. It's quite sweet, but very surprisingly, appropriately sweet. Very much recalls apple brandy.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Põhjala Cowboy Breakfast (2022)
Slightly fruity, sweet stout. Seems to have frighteningly little reason to be here. There's definitely no discernible chili.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Kind of like a sour, carbonated red wine? Didn't seem beer-like at all, although it wasn't bad.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Quite tart, unidentifiably fruity. Very clean.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Not much barrel, lots of coffee. Very good, but comparing against a standard stout.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

A stronger initial hit of booze. Lingering chili spiciness.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Delirium Black Barrel Aged (2022)
Light prune and caramel, finishes with a candy sweetness. Super-clean.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

AleSmith Bourbon Barrel-Aged Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Speedway Stout (unknown release)
Just a taste. Lots of coffee, vegetal, a spicy finish. Very weirdly made me think of daikon pickle, which is not as negative a note as it sounds.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Somewhere between blueberry and raspberry, notably floral, no funk. Medium tart, very clean finish.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Probably my second-favorite beer of the day. Smooth, not as sweet as the PNC, still a cacao-forward flavor but with a strong presence of peated whisky that became clearer as the glass warmed up.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Dream come true to get a new release of this, one of the first epic beers I ever tried. Did not disappoint. Smooth chocolate, incredibly smooth finish, medium sweet.
Draft at Brouwer's Cafe, Seattle

Pours golden. Very nice, sour and dry, a bit salty on the lips but with a nice authentic guava flavor.
Can at Home

I didn't take notes on this one, unfortunately. I have a vague recollection that I didn't taste any mint at all, which would have been a disappointment for something staking its claim on the Frango name.
Can at Odin Lounge

Just lightly roasted, not sweet, not thick. The right amount of peanut. I thought this was delicious.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Maybe it was in opposition to the Hanami but this was very much on the edge of syrupy.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Dry, champagne-like. Dries out on the tongue which is probably from the tea. Delicious.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Round, malty, redolent of unspecified spice. Bitter finish. Tastes like a fruit beer without the fruit.
Draft at Tipsy Cow Burger Bar, Redmond

Pretty strongly bitter, and I hate to say “in a rubbery way” because it’s actually really quite good. Light lemon, some cloudy cereal funk, but all very dry in a way that leads really naturally into the bitterness.
Draft at Tipsy Cow Burger Bar, Redmond

Robust but creamy, mocha notes, high roast, malty as all get out. I enjoyed it!

Don't have a great recollection of this, but my lingering impression was that this was in the sweet-pithy category.

Blandly sweet nitro red.
Nitro Draft at The Pizza Coop & Ale House, Woodinville

Pretty decent chocolate milk stout. Sweet, but not too sweet. Thinnish mouthfeel. Cola-like? The milkiness lingers as a tackiness in the throat, as does something of a roast bitterness.
Draft at Cairn Brewing, Kenmore

This doesn't seem stylistically accurate. Maybe my taste buds are off but this comes across like a slightly toastier version of the pumpkin ale, and the sweetness doesn't really work for me.
Draft at Cairn Brewing, Kenmore

Basically a pumpkin beer? Spice forward, hints of sweetness, lightly hoppy, clean, pretty bitter on the aftertaste.
Draft at Cairn Brewing, Kenmore

Banana, clove, but also tart, finishes distinctly metallic but clean.
Draft at Cairn Brewing, Kenmore

Looks like they changed the name. First taste seems great - a deeply hoppy, woody flavor that is offset by some cereal funk. It's nice, but on the fruit front there's a lingering citrus oiliness that outlasts the flavor and leaves the mouth dry, just a tad off-putting.
Can at Home

Holds up in character through the nitro, chocolatey, roasty, mellow.
Draft at Black Raven Brewing Company, Redmond

Each new release of this beer seems a little less whiskey and a little more Scotch ale. Fairly thin, but mellow. Barrel is mostly wood and background. A fine beer for my birthday.
Draft at Black Raven Brewing Company, Redmond

Almost nitro-flat but contributes to a very smooth opening. Finishes with a somewhat rounded hop (or rye?) bite at the end that reduced my enjoyment a smidge.
Draft at Tavern Hall, Bellevue

Seemed extremely overhopped for a blonde. I see previous notes like this, maybe it's always been this way?

Whereas I thought the Aloha Death was thin and fake-tasting, this was just the right amount of the right flavors. Otherwise, it's a light-ish stout-ish beer like the other Irish Death variants, and just as enjoyable.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Very tasty, fresh, Deschutes-like IPA. Not too piney.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Sweet, bitter, definitely a bock, but almost maibock-like in strength and sweetness. Almost skirts the edge of syrupy-sweet but doesn't get there, thankfully. Pretty enjoyable.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Stillwater Insetto (2021)
Lightly tart, champagne-grape notes with sweet cereal. Dry and clean, refreshing, very tasty.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Pretty far away from what I expected in a wit. Musty and vegetal, thin and a bit tart. Reminds me more than a little bit of a ginger or ginseng tea. Did not clock cranberry in this.
Draft at The Lime, Kirkland

Forward-sweet, fragrant and hoppy. Slightly herbaceous. Dries pretty fast into a typically brackish Italian Pilsner finish but manages to stay sweet all the way through to the finish. Quite refreshing.
Draft at The Lime, Kirkland

A decent if unremarkable malty amber. Bit of caramel, muted hops, not much of what I would call a rye bite. It certainly accompanied the food.
Can at Spark Pizza, Redmond

I quite liked this. Not sure I got more than a hint of pineapple, the overall impression is of a bitter orange, a nice pucker, but dry and clean. I've never had the cocktail and I gather grapefruit is involved? That's believable. But it tasted more orange to me.
Can at Home

Bright, fizzy pale ale, seemed unusually prickly/spicy, which was a nice surprise. I was well into a hearty meal by this point so I'm not entirely sure I can trust my flavor notes, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Basically my platonic idea of a Scotch Ale, yeasty, nutty, goes down smooth without any particular sweetness or bitterness. Reminds me of imprinting on this style at Black Raven or Bellevue Brewing. Or maybe it's just this pizza place, which is great.

Everybody's Head Stash Fresh Hop IPA (unknown release)
Really delicious, I think. Not resinous or bitter at all, the primary flavor is fragrant lemon-pine hops, juicy, but clean.
Draft at The 522, Woodinville

Clean and nice, the initial flavor is herbaceous, like a lightly-sweet lemongrass herbal tea, but followed very quickly upon by a dry pineapple fruitiness and a mellowing coconut. More soda-like than beer, although it is dry. Only mid-tart. I'd say this beer is exactly as advertised.
Draft at The 522, Woodinville

Aged now for seven years, lots of caramel, cacao, and hints of aged balsamic grape, finishing with a nice, clean, tannic dryness. Love to open an old bottle and find that it's still superb.
Bottle at Roy’s

Very light, like a cream porter. Pleasant coffee overtones, and smooth.

White pepper, light, reminds me of a wit more than a Bavarian hefe.

Clean but with slightly more pithy bitterness than the hazy. The rest of the flavor seems just a bit on the watery side.

Light, pleasant pine/lemon hazy IPA. It's spritzer-like, clean and not bitter at all.

Mellow, sweet cereal, hint of fruit.

You can definitely tell the family resemblance in this. Bready, a bit spicy, but clean, bright, almost metallic. Still, this was the most normie beer of the flight.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

Standard Dang (2022)
Hazy dry with a prickly carbonation that heats up the back of throat almost like ginger.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

A dry hoppy saison, actually not that different from the rice lager but with less funk and a little more bite.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

Super clean, fragrant, lightly dry, faint funk.
Draft at Standard Brewing, Seattle

White pepper, coriander, citrus, dry, clean, mellow.
Draft at Woodblock, Redmond

Brackish and dry like you might expect from an Italian Pilsner, but with a lemon pine hop sheen on top. Veers a little acrid but not bad.
Draft at Chainline Station, Kirkland

Crucible The Todd (2022)
Thick, caramel, intensely sweet but with a chew that matches. Lightly tart on the finish with plum/apple. Did not detect peat at all.
Draft at Crucible Brewing, Woodinville

Fort George Fresh IPA (2022)
Luminosa hops, apparently. Lighter tasting than I expected, but very nice for sure.
Draft at Wood Shop BBQ, Seattle

Super clean, fruity, mango. A bit spicy.
Draft at Rhein Haus, Seattle

Bracingly bitter, dry, brackish, and yet impressively clean. Hops are peppery, not fruity.
Draft at Rhein Haus, Seattle

Hazy, oily, like concentrated hip essence. Borders on spicy. It’s definitely extreme without feeling over the top but it’s not exactly refreshing. One to explore if you just want to feel one with the hops.
Draft at The Pine Box, Seattle

Hit much nicer today, but I was fresh. Very smooth, light spice, murky and pumpkiny. Plus it’s nice being back at the Pine Box.
Draft at The Pine Box, Seattle


Light, lightly tangy, got that watery corn syrup flavor but otherwise crisp. I don't know how this compares to Bellevue's own Vacuna but wouldn't be surprised if it's very similar.

Opens pretty strongly fruity, tangerine-like, sweet, before transitioning to a high-alpha bitterness. The perfume from the opening lingers, so does the bitterness.

Pours blonde, opens a little musty, a little fruity, but resolves to cereal sweetness rather quickly. Brackish finish. Can't tell if there's a lime overtone to this? I just ate pho.

Sweet and port-like, strong in flavor all-around and pretty much what you might expect based on the description. You can taste the barleywine underneath but the barrel is pretty dominant here. Save this one for dessert.
Draft at The Beer Junction, Seattle

Light, sweet milk stout with nutmeg-dominant pumpkin spice added. It's got a relatively thin mouthfeel but this still tastes a little bit on the cloying, candy-like side.
Draft at The Beer Junction, Seattle

Super-interesting. The hops up front are dominant, a weirdly thick mouthfeel with lemon, bitterness, almost tart, before dissipating into a classic sweetish, cereal, almost buttery German pilsner flavor profile.
Draft at The Beer Junction, Seattle

Cask-poured, complex with citrus and a somewhat marked transition to herbal, vegetal bitterness.
Cask at The Beer Junction, Seattle

Starts lemon pine and gets deeply pungent very quickly. Murky, resinous and finishes with almost a numbing tingle on the tongue, and yet this is much more compelling than this type of beer would normally be for me. Reminds me of that old Stone Belgian IPA with its pepperiness and yeasty bitterness.
Draft at The Beer Junction, Seattle

This is... a bit much. Maybe it's because it was at the tail end of a lot of beers, but this was over the top malty, over the top hoppy. One could say this is by design for barleywines, but I've had many that were a lot more enjoyable than this.
Draft at Postdoc Brewing, Redmond

Not as good as I remember. Pumpkin spice and cream dominate and the base beer is a little lost, but it's pleasant enough.
Draft at Postdoc Brewing, Redmond

A little weak, a little sour, this is a non-assertive roast. Reminds me a lot of what I don't love about nitro stouts without actually being on nitro.
Draft at Mac & Jack's Brewery, Redmond

Not as successful as the Log Boom as this one has a sweetness that kind of goes on too long.
Draft at Mac & Jack's Brewery, Redmond

Definitely the Log Boom and definitely a sweet, almost candy-like but realistic POG flavor that frankly overwhelms the finish. Not sure it ever resolves into a single flavor, which is the biggest problem.
Draft at Mac & Jack's Brewery, Redmond

High and sweet hop opening fades quickly. This is a piney, light pale ale, with a finish that hints at a dry champagne. Not bad.
Draft at Mac & Jack's Brewery, Redmond

Mostly just a taste, to compare with the tangelo. Without the fruit, this just tastes watery.
Draft at Mac & Jack's Brewery, Redmond

So light... Compared this with the regular Sammamish and this is definitely fruitier, although still a very kind of dilute experience.
Draft at Mac & Jack's Brewery, Redmond

Light but dry, transitions directly into a dark, cloudy, roasted malt flavor. Definitely a lager, but not sweet at all. Brewed by Bellevue Brewing.

Clean, lightly floral, hints of corn. Light, or watery? I think in this case it might be the former.

Brewed by Bellevue Brewing under the house label here. Lots of caramel, grassy, rounded hops, medium bitter finish. Strong. The caramel lingers in a sweet aftertaste. Would be interesting to compare this directly with Bellevue's Scotch ale.

Really, really good. Clean, dry mouthfeel with bright strawberry-like flavors, hints of florality, and a tart-to-clean finish. Had to buy a bottle of the Hanami afterwards, which looks related (but sencha based).
Draft at Special Brews Bottle Shop, Lynwood

I don’t love the style but this is pretty good in that context. Cacao, light roast, hops poking out in the right balance. Similar bitterness buildup as the Aloha. Finishes clean.

A really nice combination! Light tropical/grapefruit hazy flavors with a bit of complex dryness from the hibiscus. Very clean finish.

Rogue Dead ‘n’ Dead (unknown release)
Good, but smooth it is not. Imagine an Oktoberfest märzen mixed with straight whiskey.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Similar to the Cult Classic on the surface, a little more simplistic, almost watery compared to expectations against the “lighter” style.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Sweetish lemon pine pale, light with a clean, drying finish that recalls a Pilsner. No cloying flavors. I really liked this.
Draft at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

Ultra brackish, almost metallic, but otherwise the flavor is very clean, lightly grassy, not as sweet as a Helles.
Bottle at Eastside Beerworks, Redmond

A really high quality IPA - lemon-pine, lingering bitterness and fragrance without being over the top. Strong without feeling unbalanced, although there is just a hint of perfume-like artificiality around the lemon flavor.
Bottle at Home

Perfect temperature, just cooler than lukewarm, barely fizzy, herbaceous hops and strong bitterness but in great balance.
Cask at The Capercaillie, Seattle

Nutty, hints of cocoa, thematically not that different from the afraid of the dark but honestly I can’t get behind the nitro (even though it’s better than usual)
Nitro Draft at Optimism Brewing Company, Seattle

Dry and light dark lager, more amber though less sweet than a Vienna, barely fruity, bready.
Draft at Optimism Brewing Company, Seattle

Lemon cereal IPA, dry and bitter finish, but lager-like and really refreshing.
Draft at Optimism Brewing Company, Seattle

Light plum, caramel, tastes strong and also festive. Somewhat vegetal finish.
Draft at Beardslee Public House, Bothell

Opens as a mellow tripel that is slightly amped up on the cloves and then gets uncharacteristically hoppy. Has a similar finish to the Julius.
Draft at Beardslee Public House, Bothell

Orange, vanilla, hops, cloudy cereal finish. Initial impression is sweet but it’s well-balanced after the flavor transitions to hops. Aftertaste is somewhat bitter. Solid.
Draft at Beardslee Public House, Bothell

Clear, bubbly, banana-forward Belgian ale. Has a lager-like brackish bitterness that offsets the initial brightness and makes the overall experience feel more complex and balanced.
Draft at Monsoon, Bellevue

Watery, diluted corn syrup impression from this beer. Definitely a big step down from the Oktoberfest.
Draft at Black Raven Brewing Company, Redmond

I don’t know what was up with the last time, but this is very good again. Still hits every flavor I want from an Oktoberfest-Marzen.
