bottle - Pours light amber with a thin head. The light aroma is mostly sweet malt with a little fruit. The flavor... well... this beer is infected. The sour fruit like flavor of infection isn’t as strong and unpleasant as the other bottle of infected Tommyknocker I had was (Maple Nut Brown), but still, it doesn’t taste right. Given that many other people have reported infection problems in the Maple Nut Brown too, I’d say they’ve got a bottling problem.

Strawberry and mint aroma. Cloudy amber color, thick fluffy off white head. There was a dark red ribbon of sediments floating near the top of the glass. Yeast taste and mild hop finish. A bit ovecarbonated. YMMV.

Poured a watery, opaque brown with no white head. Sweet, slightly malty aroma. Very sweet flavor, brown sugar and dark malt. Mild roasted malt flavor, only slightly nutty. Medium bodied in the mouth. Average at best.

Very plain. Fairly good palate, and a light malt aroma and flavor. It is a simple beer and there isn’t much more to say that that; nothing wrong at least.

Thanks to Goldtwins for this one! Small head over a dark amber brew. Honey and maple with a bready, cookie aroma. Lightly sweet but lacking any real depth of flavor with a watery palate. Not really bad, just plain and boring.

Bottle. Sweet barley malt aroma. Light orange brown color with small head. Slight sweet-tart orange and malt flavor with a mild hops finish. Moderate body. Pleasant tasting - nothing unusual but nothing unpleasant.

on tap-pours an offwhite head with a red body. Aroma is grain. Taste is malty grain, creamy, nice and good carbonation.

An unclear amber beer with a disappearing white head. Both the aroma and flavor are sour with notes of yeast, while the body is thin.

Nice hue... maybe a little more brown than amber, but nice looking. No head. Smells like a handful of change... not impressive at all. Tastes like a handful of change with some flowers... not really anything good... not awful. Why does this brewery keep making average/below average brews? Take a chance, experiment a bit. You're not winning over any mainstream folks, and not grabbing any real beer drinkers with the stuff you make now.
