A hazy light yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of coriander, while the flavor is sweet wheaty with a spicy touch, which I can’t put a name to. The body is thin. I find it more Belgian than German in style.

Whew...this is a big beer. Clearish orange-brown body, thin buff-colored head. Caramely aroma, with notes of cinnamon, alcohol, pear, cherry, and even band-aids. Cidery body, bready, toasty, and spicy (pepper, etc.), and extremely estery, heavy on dark fruits. Big alcohol punch. Syrupy, heavy, thick, sweet, estery...you get the picture. This isn’t a beer to slay on one’s own. Thanks to hellomynameis (Zach) for a long ago trade!

Bottle. Light amber (cloudy) with a small head. Sweet hoppiness in the nose. Flavor is full of lots & lots of hoppiness, some fruitiness. However, finishes slightly skunky.

I had this as a cask ale. The coloring was dark brown with a thick white head that mostly dissipated. This was a fairly bitter stout but the aroma was rather poor.

Paid $2.50 for a 12-oz bottle. Pours ruby-amber with a small tan head. Light, sweet maltiness in the nose. Tasty malty and dark fruts. Not one of the greatest beers of all time, IMO, but it’s good.

Draft. Nice copper look with a cream-colored head. This is not your average American super grapefruit and pine hoppy beer. Aroma leaned toward spice with receding hints of citrus, especially grapefruit, and pine. Sweet malts give rise of caramel flavor on top of grapefruit and sweet citrus. A bit of bready undertones and a mildly bitter finish. Different and refreshing IPA.

Pour is a copper with a white head. Aroma is malt and that’s about it. Flavor is weak and watery. No hops or malts show up anywhere. A pretty poor offering from a good brewer

Pour is a very murky brown with a white head. Aroma is vanilla and bananas. Flavor is sweet banana bread with a touch of cinamon on top. A very different style of beer but worth a try.

Bottle. Very hoppy. Copper color, and a really good IPA. Overall a well balanced flavor that has no bad aftertaste.

Hazy golden wit with a creamy collapsing white head. light wheat, cloves and honey aroma. In mouth, watery bananas with notes of cloves, and herbs. Rather thin bodied, not creamy. Not bad but a bit restrained. The bottle is about a year old.
