Sixpoint Northern Lights

On tap at L'asso in NYC. Brewed with wormwood, but I don't know the smell/taste. Classified as a saison, but it's more like some Belgian brewery tried to do a complex coffee stout.

Pilsner Urquell

Vanilla bean is to vanilla what Pilsner Urquell is to pilsner.
Sweeter than expected. Surprisingly rich character.

Pranqster

Darker fruits and some grapes. More intense than your average blonde, but somehow just as light.

Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' IPA

On tap, it's an abbey ale momentarily before becoming an IPA. In a bottle, the pine is there from the beginning.

Grimbergen Dubbel

A dubbel with a lower ABV than the blonde...? A darker, more grape-y, wheatier version of the blonde. But the regular dubbel yeast is nowhere in sight.

Grimbergen Blonde

A paler, maltier, more vanilla-y Leffe Blonde. The label even looks similar.
