Logs for this venue
Really tasty... Clean guava, strawberry, maybe apple? The impression here is of a slightly puckery fruit punch. Very summery and nice, and unusual for guava notes to come out so fruity in a beer, but MAYBE THIS IS NOT EXACTLY BEER-LIKE?
Draft
Pepper, clove, coriander, banana, yes, this is a Belgian pale. Slightly sulfuric turn before it finishes.
Draft
Brackish and hoppy, mildly sweet. Good enough. A bit put out that this taproom told me I could bring a cat in a carrier to the patio (over the phone) and then reneged when I showed up. I had to correct for this negativity after the fact.

Sierra Nevada Trip in the Woods: Tequila Barrel-Aged Otra Vez (unknown release)
A tart, puckering lime flavor with a hint of vanilla and wood on top. I ended up buying a crowler of this to go so watch for a better review later.
Draft
Sierra Nevada Trip in the Woods: Barrel-Aged Ovila Abbey Ale (unknown release)
Fruity, round plum flavor is dominant, rounded out with caramel bourbon. Definitely sweet, and I think you'd want to be in a sherry/port mood if you were going to drink this. Great fit if you were, though.
Draft
Starts roasty but develops into a weirdly fruity sweetness. It's almost pineapple, in that I do get pina colada flavors. I normally like that! But it doesn't meld very well with the porter. Did not enjoy.
Draft
Not a liquor barrel, but seems more like an amber that's been mellowed out in wood for a while. Smooth, caramel oak notes with a bit of a metallic, dry backbone.
Draft
Sierra Nevada Barrel-Aged Torpedo Extra IPA (unknown release)
Sweet bourbon with a bit of caramel; otherwise, this is a classic SoCal hoppy IPA with a bit of sap-like resin sourness on the finish.
Draft
Really nice, buttery, lightly toasted cereal. This was a much more enjoyable all-around experience than I remember the regular pale ale from bottles.
