Brau Brothers Rye Wyne
Thanks for the pour Steasy66.
Rust brown and clear with a murky, dirty head; looks alright. The aroma retains notes of malts and barrels but the taste is a little too tart and the mouthfeel too thin... it actually smells ok, and the first couple sips seem just fine with toffee and vanilla but the off tartness takes over the beer soon.
I am no authority on infection and save for the "slight" tartness, there's no sign, so I am not going to write this one off as infected. However, what I can say is that it is a bad beer aged in good barrels.

Surly Hell
Canned 06/06/12, poured into a pint at ~2 weeks from the canning.
As promised, it's a fairly light colored beer. Medium head and medium retention. A really bready and sweet aroma... like walking in the bread aisle of the store. Sweet upfront but slight balancing bitterness towards the end. This beer doesn't seem to be about hops at all.
There's another note in the aroma that is hard to place... a tad like a Berliner weisse but not sour by any means.
Anyway, it's quite simple and clean in its flavors but the finish is more sweet than it is dry. Light body and high carbonation works. Refreshing and a good summer beer on all counts. At the same time not the best summer beer... I would reach for a Pilsner first that I think Surly should totally brew!

Goose Island Lolita
Clear pink-brown colored with a medium head and poor retention. Aroma is
not terribly exciting but good nonetheless: raspberries, slight funk,
and very soft. Taste is low on fruit and heavier on wine with moderate
tartness. Good mouthfeel with medium body and good carbonation.
Overall I'd have preferred had it been fruit forward. Not really a fan of the wine barrels.

New Belgium Lips of Faith - Brett Beer
On tap at Happy Gnome.
Hazy golden colored with a moderate head. Aroma is extremely sweet and quite fruity; perhaps excruciatingly sweet. Generic beer notes abound and nothing else really stands out but the fruitiness.
Tastes underattenuated and just plain messy! A slightly phenolic and very cloying finish. Another good example of why one should either stick to normal ingredients or be absolutely sure before putting the product out. Also, add hops.
I don't really mind the mouthfeel but sweetness kills it. A miserable fail of a beer; there are few "craft" beers that I would turn down and choose an adjunct lager instead. This is one of them.
