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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
