Cranberry Sour from Crooked Fence Brewing Company
9 years ago
6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
12 oz can. Aroma is cranberries, floral, lacto. Pours hazy pink-orange with a fleeting pinkish-white head that leaves a little lace. Taste is sour and acidic (7/10) with lots of cranberry flavor. Body is thin and watery. Not too shabby, but wouldn’t seek out again.

Trainwreck Red Ale from Crooked Fence Brewing Company
9 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
12 oz can. Aroma is caramel, chalky candy. Pours hazy amber with a medium beige head that falls after a minute. Taste is lightly caramel sweet before a yuuge bitterness sets in and lingers. Not too bad really, but it’s way more of an American amber ale with that high hop bitterness.

Temporal Oatmeal IPA from Crooked Fence Brewing Company
9 years ago
6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle from Albertsons. Hazy golden pour, small, but tight, creamy head. Streaky lacing. Light hoppy aroma, not overpowering, but enough to let you know what you’re getting in to. Taste gllows the same pattern, gentle, but pervasive, hoppy bitterness. The oatmeal mutes this a bit, but adds a nice mealy texture. Overall decent IPA.

8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle from Albertsons. I wasn’t expecting much from this, as most American Brewers produce a märzen in the fall, but right from the pour, this one is special. Cloudy, medium amber, soft silky beige head, tons of sticky lacing. Big bready, malty aroma continues on to a nice malty flavor, capped off with a small, but not out of place bitter bite. Wonderful to look at, heady aroma, delicious taste, this is all around well crafted. Prost!

Camber Winter Warmer from Crooked Fence Brewing Company
9 years ago
5.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle from WinCo. Milky brown pour, small creamy beige head, streaky lacing. Kind of tame for a winter warmer, mild, not much heat at all. Normal brown aroma, malty, kind of roasty. Taste is barely there, kind of weak. At least they didn’t obliterate it with winter spice. Still had hoped for something with more heat.

Cranberry Sour from Crooked Fence Brewing Company
9 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
12oz can. Unfiltered red-pink-orange body. Not much of a head. Kind of an off-putting mineral dry aroma. Not such a bad taste, mellow sour notes, tangy berry. Overall not that impressive of an offering.

Cranberry Sour from Crooked Fence Brewing Company

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can hazy pink love Lively effervescent light pink head. Big time tart and decent cranberry flavor. A little musty at the end. Not super "clean" like some other light lacto sours. Still, quite good and I may need to pick up a few more for a Thanksgiving beverage.

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle from Albertsons. Dark vola colored body with thick fluffy head. Coffee first on the nose, brown ale roast grains follow. Taste also features coffee up front, then falls away to the roast grsin bitterness. Pure brown through and through, no sweetness.

Hop Notion IPA from Crooked Fence Brewing Company

8.5/10
Juicy overripe fruit and the bitterness is surprisingly blistering and very long lasting. Has a nice spicy finish.

3 Picket Porter from Crooked Fence Brewing Company
9 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bomber from the grocery store. Aroma is dark bread crust, lots of roast, dark chocolate. Pours black with cola brown edges and a medium beige head that falls after a minute, leaving a little lace. Taste is roasty, lightly sweet, finishing lightly bitter and dry. Flavors of roasted malt, light chocolate. Tasty stuff. Nicely done and well-executed, but it’s not pushing any boundaries or anything.
