Aug 28, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma keeps switching off between a nice lactic tartness, some oak, and some smoky hints. Tastes minerally with some nice tartness. Some smoky hints emerge as the beer warms. Earthy grassy finish. This reminds me of a cross between koduolo and gose. Good stuff!

Jun 17, 2008 Pours an extremely hazy light pale yellow color with slight fizzy white head. Aroma is very very grassy with a bit of citrus. Flavor is grassy like a dortmunder, tart but not fruity. Dry and a bit bitter. Slight smokiness to it. Overall, interesting.

Jun 13, 2008 Updated: Jun 15, 2008Another great by East End. This is the ultimate lawnmower beer. Nice floral aroma with light malt and yeast in the background. Pour was a nice medium gold with a 2 finger white head. Taste was very drinkable and refreshing. Light malt and smoke in the front that gives way to a lactic sourness in the aftertaste. As I had more of this the smoke gets stronger. A definate plus! Little carbonation, but the flavor stands on its own. Some yeast and lemon come out as it warms. Great beer!

Jun 1, 2008 A very interesting brew. Sampled at Pints for Pets. Pours a hazy peach flesh color with a small foamy head. Aroma is a little bit of spicy fruit. A sweet pruny caramel nose. Has a sweet yet smoky flavor. Very sour with a light bitter bite at the finish. Complex with a lot of bready characteristic. Medium body with a light carbonation.

May 28, 2008 5/17/08 - Sample at Pint for Pets. Pours cloudy yellow with skimming, foamy white head. Nose is slightly sour with some spicy wheat notes. Taste is sourdough bread, slight apple and a touch of smoke and slight oak.. A rather mild bitter, but more than I expected. Very dry. Such a different taste that anything I’ve had before. Great beer.

May 22, 2008 Growler from my pal Cheapdark. A very interesting beer. Each sip, each aroma yields something different. Not to say its very complex -- it isn’t -- but there is a still a lot of variety and evolution as this is drank. All the major ingredients are noticable -- light lactic, smoke, wheat -- along with some lemon and light yeast. I like this. Quite close to a berlinner weisse, really the only extra thing is smoke. I bet this would be great if it got the proper barrel treatment. Thanks, Dennis!

May 18, 2008 Updated: Jul 11, 2008On tap at the East End Brewery. Got a nice big sample while filling a growler of it for puzzl. Cloudy lightish beige or brown like a hazey Long Island iced tea. Beatiful big head! Taste is of old farm house or barn with background hints of old sour wet hay. At times I think I smell a little old wet hay and manure mix in there and this is not meant to be derrogatory in any way. I must admit, I never tasted horse or goat manure but had my face rubbed in it a few times and this stuff has all the positve attributes of said matter. At times I think there are hints of smoked goat cheese in there. This brew is unique and a positive experience on all accounts. A really good tasting session brew. Light and airy, beautiful and fun. Nice finish, like a confederate gentleman greeeting a southern colonial bell. Lovely, simply lovely! Not a single hint of bitterness!
