Almanac Cherry Berry
Flanders Red - 7.4% ABV Pete Great beer. It's quite sour, and also has a blast of fruitiness to balance it. The cherry comes out the most for sure, but the other berries round it out a bit. Also fairly high alcohol for a sour. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Almanac Cherry Picker
Saison - 6.8% ABV Pete Not at all what I was expecting. It was pretty sour, kind of tastes like an oud bruin. Sour with some malty hints. No idea how they achieved that in a saison, but it's very good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Almanac Cold Brew Coffee Barrel Noir
Imperial Stout - 10.3% ABV Pete This is a very good imperial stout. It is smokey and definitely has hints of vanilla. The flavor hides the booze well, but it's still a sipper because it's incredibly rich. That's probably for the best. It is expensive though, more so than other imperials, so that knocks it down a peg. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Almanac Golden Gate Gose
Gose - 5% ABV Pete This is a pretty mild, easy to drink beer. I was hoping it'd be more sour, and it didn't blow me away, but it's still good. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Almanac Lavender Honey De Brettaville
Sour Saison - 6.5% ABV Pete Really good beer. A hint of spice, a bit of funk, and a good amount of herbaceous-ness, presumably from the lavender. As you can tell from this unreal photo, I wasn't exactly in tip top shape when drinking this, so take that review with a grain of salt. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Almanac LOVE Hazy IPA
IPA - 6.6% ABV Pete Awesome beer. Tiny hint of creaminess in the texture (not quite pillowy as described). The flavor is a nice balance of citrusy and piney notes, leaning more toward the citrusy side. An incredible beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Almanac POG Saison
Saison - 6.9% ABV Pete Awesome beer with a ton going on. You get the spicy from the saison, the fruity from the POG, and a little bit of spice from the Brett. Really really good combo. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Almanac Proof of Concept
Saison - 5.8% ABV Pete Super super Belgian tasting, with maybe a little bit of hoppiness to it. Lots of carbonation make the flavor leave the tongue pretty quickly. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
