750ml bottle brought down by the Boise guys, thanks
Appearance: Cloudy golden with a small white head and some lacing
Aroma and flavors of wet blanket, citrus, spices and dry
Nice and tasty

Sweet, light honey nose with a touch of apple and leaves. Flavor is lightly sweet, with honey and ripe pear, some raw sugar, light citrus juice, and a touch of dusty yeast. Fairly solid, but could use improved carbonation retention.

Strawberry flower aroma, underripe cherry, clear muddied yellow. Dry and herbal, rose petals.

Really strong aroma. Big Belgian yeast. Strong and tasty if you get past the smell. Now I want to try more of their stuff.

Bottle thanks to Skinnyguy! Bright hazy yellow pour, little lasting lacing and carbonation and an nice honey and hay and green apple aroma. Flavor is also nice light honey, hay, slightly sweet lemon and finishes effervescent. Really nice surprise, thanks Dan!

Growler; thanks Brandon! Pours muddy yellow with trace white head; a little honey and butter mixed with orange peels; kind of dirty and lemony; wheat, dried fruit and mild honey; dried lemons and earthy texture; nice level of farmhouse flavors and pretty decent overall; light, sweet and fruity

Tap at 16 Tons. Hazy dark yellow/orange with a decent off-white head. Smelled of yeast, fruity esters, honey, wheat. Tastes of wheat, yeast, lemon and a little funk. Pretty solid beer, as I’ve come to expect from these guys.

Bottle thanks to BrainLair. Pours a pale yellow, slightly hazy, thin white head. Crisp cereal malt aroma with notes of apple. Sweet fruity flavor. Cidery with niotes of apple and honey. Dry bitter hop finish. Moderate alcohol.

Growler brought back from me by my buddy Wade. This beer has an extremely low carbon footprint given that it was brought back from Corvallis to Seattle. Start with the earth friendly practices of Block 15, this was transported back via Prius then brought to me at work via bicycle. Pours a hazed darker honey with ample off white head that settles down and leaves decent lacing. Fruity esters, papaya, peach, touch of pineapple and banana damp wheaty, nice spiciness that is heavier on the pepper side. Nice balance of wheat, fruity esters, floral honey with some grassiness and peppery finish balaned out with pilsner malt. Keeps changing on the nose and in flavor...really enjoyed this. Thanks Wade!

Draught ar Bailey’s Taproom in Portland (from notes). Funky, yeasty, and lemon aroma. Initial has a pleasant lemon character which gains intensity through the finish. Final gives off some dry, straw, residual lemon. Like a moderated version of Cantillon Gueze. Nice stuff, indeed.
