Draft. A- Coffee, cocoa, malty. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, off white head. T- Cocoa, coffee, watery. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, watery finish. O- This has some potential but it’s fairly weak and needs some more depth or robustness to it.

Draft. A- Pine, resin, citrus. A- Orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Caramel, slightly sweet, bready, subtle pine. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Thank to Gene(Travlr) for getting the "om" symbol in the title as it is on the menu for the "Om-aha" IPA. Clevert I must say. Unfortunately the beer isn’t as good as the name.

Draft. A- Soapy, lemon. A- Amber color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Caramel, subtle pine. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, subtle bitterness. O- A bit bitter for an amber ale. More bitterness than maltiness which made for a surprise. Yet the aroma was citrusy.

Draft. A- Wheat, lemon. A- Yellow color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Wheat. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, unbalanced finish. O- Full of wheat and seemingly not very balanced. Thus, not very good. More of a wheat ale than a pale ale.

This was just listed as Benson Blonde, 5.4%, but it’s the closest thing. Hope this rating is in the right place. Crystal clear golden yellow color, bright white head with solid lacing. Aroma of straw and white pepper. Taste is peppery, crisp and clean. Drinkable.
