Quad the Impaler from Thunder Canyon Brewery
9 years ago
3.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 3
On tap at Thunder Canyon, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out lots of dark fruits, followed by booze, caramel and vanilla. Flavour is very medicinal, with dark fruits, booze and syrupy cloying sweetness. Like drinking nasty cough syrup. Terrible.

4.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
On tap at Thunder Canyon, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt and a touch of dark red fruits. Flavour is messy and confused, with dark fruits, light tartness and messy phenols. Not a well-constructed beer by any means. Messy and uncoordinated.

On tap at Thunder Canyon, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light citrus hops and dry biscuity malt. Flavour matches, with citrus hops and biscuity malt, and an unpleasant astringency on the finish. Not a fan of this.

On tap at Thunder Canyon, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and light biscuity malt, but pretty thin all round. Flavour is extremely astringent, with piney hops, biscuity malt and medicinal bitter astringent. Not good.

Blackout Stout from Thunder Canyon Brewery

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap at Thunder Canyon, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and a touch of oats. Flavour is quite laid back, with toasted malt, a little chalk and even littler cocoa. Weak on the palate with not much going on. Meh.

On tap at Thunder Canyon, pours a cloudy dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt and a touch of the candied sugar. Flavour brings out more of the candied sugar, followed by caramel and bready malt. Not the most dynamic or complex beer, but it works reasonably.

Rye Heat from Thunder Canyon Brewery
9 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a dark red color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head. Lacing seems to be barely there.
The aroma had some malty sweet nuts and then a slight spicy rye. Some sweetness from the rye opens up and brings out a sly earthiness to it. Balancing grassy hops are there.
The flavor balances nicely between the rye malts and the sweet nuts. Earthiness and grassiness is there as well. Balanced sweet to spicy aftertaste with the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation was fairly light. ABV felt fine too. Spiciness seemed good and tamed by the malts, moved nicely along my tongue.
Overall, nicely done amber ale reinventing a style not as many people like these days. I would have again.

Thunderhead IPA from Thunder Canyon Brewery

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Real, Wild & Woody Beer Festival, pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out considerable piney hops and biscuity malt in good balance. Flavour is infected with diacetyl, along with piney hops and biscuity malt. Shame about the infection. Could be good, but not as is.
