Okay wheat style look and smell, but needs more head and a stronger profile on the nose. Highly drinkable but not memorable - lacking complexity, it went down well in a bar but didn’t linger on the tongue. Medium finish. Just okay.

Draft - Grains with malt backbone. Malty with some cereal. Amber with a thin head. Refreshing and decent. Update - Grainy with some esters. Not as good as before which is saying very little.

Part of a new series apparently inspired by various bands. Of course I’m a fan of You Say Party! so why wouldn’t I want to try out this new brew? Has an okay head and a brown-amber body with no visible carbonation. Aroma is wet malty caramel with a soft hint of hops at the end. Flavour is some intense hoppiness well balanced by barley notes. Dry finish. Good balance on this one, not too heavy and it makes a great session beer.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with medium head. Aromas of grapefruit and malts. Flavors of resin and malts with notes of pine and other bitter hops. Indeed, a mix of an English bitter and a Northwest IPA. Heavier on the later. OK but there is better stuff out there.

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with full head. Aromas of molasses, brown sugar, and roasted malts. Flavors of brown sugar, heavily roasted malts, and a light Christmas cake fruit and spice. Nice enough - warm for 6.5%.

Cask at Central City Winter Cask Fest '13, pours a deep dark mahogany with only a few bubbles for head. Aroma of pure espresso, and perhaps some very light latte like notes. Flavour brings out light espresso, which is obscured by the lactose, creating a milky feel, but still really light-bodied and weak. Decent attempt.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with red hints and little head. Aromas of black coffee and light chocolate. Similar flavors with a hint of cola and dark fruit. Dry. Medium body. Nice for the low ABV.
