Draft at the OF. Not 100% that this isn’t MBC Hefeweizen. Cloudy and unfiltered to style, minimal non head. Clovy sugary aroma, mild banana. Lots of banana in the flavor, almost overbearingly so. Low CO2, could have benefited from higher levels. The yeast really makes this beer, dominating the flavor profile. Mellow and unimpressive.

Draft at the OF. Stained-glass reddish brown color. Soap foam head. Sweet and malty, with a nice fruity tang. Dates. Figs. Raisin. Plum. Quite sweet and nice. An interesting tweeked-out version of the style. Lacks the effervescent body of a true Belgian, but makes up for it with it’s flavor.

12oz bottle. Deep brown-amber color. Thin, patchy, beige head. Sweet brown sugary aroma, some hints of vanilla and bourbon. Quite nice, certainly not a standard example of the style. Mellow vanilla and oak tones really help give it more depth, complementing the sweet chocolate malt tones. Full of flavor, walking the line between medium and full bodied. A lot of fruity tones for a Lager. A really good beer, I look forward to more offerings from the MBC.

12oz bottle. Hazy, thick, in no way filtered amber-orange color. Rather straightforward as far as US IPAs go, with a nice depth of malt and hop balance. A sweet, sandy caramel malt upfront tone is washed away in a sea of smooth, earthy, green hops. Somewhat clean in it’s lack of alcohol taste, sticky and sweet malt and hop residue. This IPA nails it, classic new school taste.

Draft at the OF. Thin orange-gold color. Minimal head. Creamy mouthfeel, not unlike a DeKoninck or a lower ABV Belgian Blonde. Very sessionable, my favorite beer I’ve had from MAH. An excellent Ameri-Belgo Singel. Watery sweet finish. Worth a try.

Draft at OF. Amber-brown color, thick off white head. Slight to full on Amber malt pungency. Spicy malt aftertaste with a touch of cream. Full of flavor. Medium to full bodied. Rather well done, pretty solid balance between the rich malt and soapy hop crispness. A quality beer, worth a try.

Amber color. Well balanced with hops and malt. Some sweetness from the malt. The hops that are there do taste good, but there are not enough of them. This is however, a well balanced beer, good for a session.

I am not sure what the big deal is with this ordinary stout. Black with a small layer of foram. Aroma is heavily roasted malt, with light traces of coffee and oatmeal, with burnt popcorn. Flavor is of bitter grain also, no perceivable hops. It is drinkable enough, but perhaps they went to far with the malting. Good, full palate.

Draught at the brewpub. Yellow color. Quite mild all around, some lager like yeast. Light on the palate. Some flower and orange, but very little of it. What flavor is there is good.

It is a light lager. yellow color. Very light malt and hops with a thin palate, and it isn’t terrible for a light yellow beer, but I wouldn’t have tried it if it did not come with the sampler.
