Draught at Brewtopia ’04 Thin, disappearing head on a cloudy light yellow beer. The aroma is mildly malted spiced vanilla. Corriander and spice kick in to give this a clean, pleasant aftertaste. Spicy and refreshing.

2004 bottle. Pours a lovely rosy orange color. Good creamy head, small and sticky, sitting right on top. Lacing, and lots of bubbles. But very clear. Aroma is light, a bitter shot of hops (Goldings I guess, not really sure what else) Pretty mild, with a good bitter shot of hops for flavoring, which quickly moves in to a sweet, caramelly body. Wow, this is an almost full bodied beer, that is not overstated. Maybe a bit too sweet. Ripe oranges, bananas, limes, cherries and good fruity, bitter hops. A tough drink if you are trying to knock back a bunch of beers, but pretty tasty.

Hazy blonde with a small white foamy head. Light aroma of bananas and spices. Good malt, wheat and bananas with a touch of lemon tartness. Good bodied.

Amber color. Good American Barley Wine, malty without being too sweet, and with a strong hopping, giving also some fruitness.

12 oz bottle from 2004. Pours a thick yellow, clear, but not pale or thin looking. Decent white head, and a mix of sweet honey and almonds with crisp floral hops. Flavor begins slowly of light malt, sweet and a bit thin, but then some sour yeast notes come in and it eventually finishes very crisp and clean. No adjuncts, no skunkiness, just a drinkable, well-made lager. Dosent have the aroma of the Bohemian pilsners, but still has a good hops flavor, though could use some more flavor altogether.

Beautiful amber color. Very nice hoppy aroma, fruity, caramel. Reasonable body structure, featuring a quite strong caramel character supported by a strong (and quite aromatic) bitterness, and some fruitness (apricots).

TAP-Brown ale, with a faint malty aroma. Very nice nuts in the mouth with caramalized malts, slightly acidic, medium bodied.

Light brown ale with a hazy cloud. Nose of malt and cardboard Sweet malt with some nuttyness and a light hops, but again, the beer is oxidized, with the stale cardboard coming out. Body is still nice and would be medium.

A decent IPA but one that does not stand out in a crowded field. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a copper color with a medium sized tan head that lingers a bit. The aroma is sweet and grapefruity with a mild floral hop scent underneath. Light in body. Light sweet grapefruity flavor No significant aftertaste. Not bad, but there are far better out there.

This beer tastes a lot like Samuel Adams Boston Lager to me. But, to me that is not a bad thing.+++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a beautiful red-brown color with a small foamy tan head. There aroma was sweet, malty, with a definite presence of herbal hops. Strong hoppy flavor with some malt and sweetness. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.
