12 ounce bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a light copper color with a medium white head. A light caramel malty nose and some fruity hops. Nothing like a big IIPA: sweet , yes some light dankness, bitter orange peel, caramel, earthy. OK.

Tap. Pours clear pale amber with a small off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is honey, toffee, and grass. Flavor is lightly sweet with a light grassy bitterness and some unidentified light spiciness. Light bodied. Kind of the definition of an average beer.

Tap. Pours clear buttery amber with a tiny white head, no retention and no lacing. Aroma is pure spices - nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, clove, plus some caramel. Flavor is the same, spice dominated and quite sweet with obvious pumpkin notes. Lightly astringent, light to medium body. Pretty good effort, if overspiced for my taste.

Tap. Pours clear deep reddish brown with a medium brown head and great lacing. Aroma is coffee, dark roasted malts, and light orange peel. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet and light coffee bitter, with light astringence that fades as the beer breathes. Light to medium body. Again, I don’t understand the low ratings on this beer.

Tap. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium creamy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is classic Hefe - wheat, banana, lemon. Flavor is the same, with banana notes more prominent than in the aroma. Lighlty sweet, light bodied and refreshing. I cannot understand why this beer is getting such low ratings.

Tap. Pours a clear very pale yellow with a medium white creamy head that leaves great lacing. Downhill from there, unfortunately. Aroma was extremely faint, with a bit of grain and not much else. Flavor was stronger, grain, grass, and plastic with a metallic bitter aftertaste. Very light bodied. Not good.

Tap. Pours cloudy orange amber with a medium off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is caramel, spruce, resin, very malt forward. Flavor is quite sweet with a medium bitter body and finish. Woody spruce notes. Body is medium, oily to the point of coating the tongue. Interesting try, definitely outside the normal IPA mold, but not my thing.
