On Tap at BJ’s La Mesa. Very light watery to gold color with bright white head. Can’t make out the aroma. A hint of grain maybe. Nice light flavor. Seems a little citrus plus pale malts. Not a bad lawnmower beer.

On Tap at BJ’s La Mesa. Copper color with off white head that lasts and good lacing too. Aroma is too light with a hint of roasted malts. The flavor is pretty full with caramel malts and some hop bitterness to balance. There is also a slight nuttiness that adds interest.

On Tap at BJ’s La Mesa. Good looking Hefe. Hazy gold with nice bright white head. Typical sweet malt and wheat aroma. Flavor is sweet with the malts and wheat. Fruity hint there as well. Beer is a bit on the sweet side.

Fruity nose, small lingering head, coloured like old garnet. Very malty and chewy, this beer demands attention. Lingering finish, like it doesn’t want to leave. Much alcohol warmth. This beer has power. Don’t drink more than one or two if you’re going to be driving

Alcohol nose, I was ready to dislike this beer. then I tasted it. It had a strong oatmeal note, like a warm breakfast, with roast malt, and bittersweet chocolat. A lingering finish with a nice hoppiness. Dark colour and a tan head.

Cask @ brewpub San Jose. Dark brown, almost black body with a moderate light brown head. Aroma of sweet malt, also a bit roasted. Flavor is like a quite ordinary average porter, good but nothing special. You will find sweet, roasted malt, coffee etc. Nice but nothing special to it.
