The appearance was a semi-clear amber color with just a cap of a little white head that slid off at a decent pace. Some messy lace.
The aroma had a sweet to tart raspberry quality up front with a little bit of sweet to tart wheat trying to come through.
The flavor did a decent job of blending together. Nice sweet to tart raspberry and wheat sort of aftertaste and finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fairly low but that didn’t bother me. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, it did the trick. I didn’t expect too much and this came out above par for me.

The appearance was a dark golden amber color with a thin white foamy head that fell off pretty quick. Not much lace.
The aroma had some grassy and earthy hops up front playing with a slight biscuit to caramel malts in the background. Some toast with some light cereal notes.
The flavor had that malty dryness throwing off the aftertaste a little bit. The finish was brisk with a slight herbal quality about it.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Light carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, as an ESB it works for me. I could go at again preferably with some fish n’ chips.

The appearance was a light amber to orange sort of color with a small off white foamy head that slid off pretty quick.
The aroma had some semi-sweet and dried biscuit to white bread notes up front and having a little bit of floral to grassy hops underneath.
The flavor had that same sort of dried biscuit/bready sweet maltiness all throughout with a light aftertaste. Finish was all about the breadiness.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Fairly low carbonation and an ABV that felt appropriate.
Overall, not much of an APA, but also not exactly a top notch beer. It’s just an all around drinker easy to take down with food.

The appearance was a rust to copper color with a film of a little white head. Head just slides into oblivion with no lace.
The aroma had some cherry sweetness up front with a touch of grassy hops, somewhat floral. Light sweet wheat.
The flavor leaned into the cherry sweetness at first with a crisp sweet wheaty aftertaste. Sly cherry sweet to wheaty sort of finish.
The palate was light bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Low carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, seemed to do the trick as a cherry wheat ale. I didn’t expect more.

The appearance was a semi-hazy golden yellow color with a thin film of a little white head. Light to almost no lace.
The aroma had sweet to tart blueberries up front with a touch of floral hops.
The flavor was sweet through the blend of blueberries, wheat and sugar. Quick sweet aftertaste and finish.
The palate was about light bodied, perhaps a touch above with a pretty good sessionability about it. Fairly low on the carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate as projected.
Overall, pretty much a spot on blueberry ale with not any flaws, just leans sweeter than a bunch of others. Maybe again, since it’s a bit sweeter than expected.

The appearance was a slight burnt copper color with a film of a little white foamy head. No lace.
The aroma had some grassy hops coating a light dark bready malt base. Some light earthy spice.
The flavor cued up the malts pretty dry to even out some of that grassy hoppiness. Light yet lingering aftertaste of the dark bready malts. Sly finish of the bread and grassiness.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Sly carbonation. Good ABV.
Overall, decent as a bock, could come back preferably with food.

Tap at Cask and Vine Deep red color with a small tan head on top. Lightly fruit nose with a hint of balsamic. Sweet malty with bits of tart lemon and cherry. Hint of balsamic but a nice sipper.

The appearance was a fairly dark amber almost brown color with thin white semi-foamy head. Light lace.
The aroma had some light nuttiness, subtle brown sugar, caramel/toffee malts, coffee creamer and maple syrup sweetness.
The flavor took all of the previously mentioned aromas to a fairly high sweet level. Aftertaste was full of the same. Finish was fairly sticky, pretty sweet.
The feel was about medium bodied. Some cloying, but somewhat acceptable to me at least. ABV felt good.
Overall, borderline cloying, but I dig the aroma and flavor mostly. I missed the hop aromatics.

The appearance was a nice looking semi-dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Sly edged out lace.
The aroma had some smoke, light clean caramel/toffee malts, some earthy hops, light leather, slight cereal tones and ends with a little bit of sweet herbal tones.
The flavor leaned into the sweetness of the previously mentioned aromas flowing together on into the aftertaste and finish.
The feel was almost medium bodied, seemed just a touch underneath. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, one of their better brown ales that I would want again.

The appearance was a milky brown color with a cap of a little white foamy head. Slides off into oblivion, no lace.
The aroma had some caramel/toffee malts, some banana, light earthiness, somewhat grassy tones. Ample herbal qualities at the end.
The flavor leaned towards a malty and herbal sweet carrying all of the previously mentioned aromas in fairly nice. Aftertaste was semi-smooth sweet banana and herbal. Finish was wet sweet malts.
The feel was roughly medium bodied, perhaps just a tad under. ABV felt as projected, though, makes me feel like I was drinking water, but there’s some beer qualities here.
Overall, weird beer with the banana flavoring, wasn’t sure if that was intentional or not. Makes for a great session if one can let the banana agree with them for this style.
