Blue Point Spring Fling

Cask at Pacific Standard. Hazy dark golden pour with almost a gray/green tint. Some hops and rye grain on the nose; seems promising, like it will be crisp and refreshing. Hit my palate the wrong way those: something really ashy and unpleasantly bitter. Particularly because I was drinking this side-by-side with a lovely Belgian rye also on cask, this just didn’t do it for me.

On tap at patchogue brewery. Pours a hazy red color, nice hoppy aroma, very appealing. Taste was a good mix between bitter and sweet. Good crisp aftertaste. I liked this beer a lot and wish it were more widely available.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma of rye seed, rye bread, light citrus and floral hops. Flavor very rye malty, sweet rye, with bittering hops rubbing up against it. Bitter finish but never completely obstructs the rye malt. Pretty tasty.

On tap at the brewery. Pours orange with a small light tan head. Aroma of bitter rye seed. Flavor of rye and parmesean cheese with a bitter hops finish. Too bitter for me.

Draft. Pours a light yelllow body with a white head. Aroma is bitter hoppiness with some earthy notes and malt. Plain and simple not much to the flavor a little pine from the hops which disipates slowly.
