Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is equal parts fruity and yeast estery. Flavor is a nice mild herbal hop with soft malt and just enough yeast ester to know a Belgian yeast strain was used. This was quite flavorful and refreshing for such a low Abv beer. I could drink a shit ton of this in summer.

Pour is a almost dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is a decent mix of oily malt and a spicy green hop. Flavor is a nice un-sweetened caramel malt with a big spicy herbal hop. Finish leave a lot of green hop and oily malt on the tongue. This is like a lower ABV American strong ale. Perfect mix of malt and hops. By far the most hoppy beer I've had from Civil Life.

Pour is a dark brown almost black with a small white head. Aroma is a decent roasted malt with some whiffs of cocoa. Flavor is a full roasted malt body with a bit of bakers chocolate. If you did not know this was a brown ale your would defiantly think this is a oatmeal stout. It is a bit thin as this is a brown ale but this is quite flavorful.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is some toasted bread and raw cereal grain. Flavor is more tasted malt with a wee bit of chocolate and a pretty decent hop profile for a amber ale. This was a pretty good amber and I would defiantly get this again.

Pour is a hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma has plenty of bready malt and some large yeast sulfur. Flavor is a wet bready dough malt with some maybe honey malt to give this a little sweeter aftertaste. Very clean but still has a hardy mouth feel. This seems pretty spot on for the style and I could drink a lot of this. Here's hoping that this is the next beer headed for their canning line.

Pour Is a murky copper with a large white head. Aroma is a earthy malt, not much in the way of a big hop presence but it's there ins the backround. Flavor is more of the malt then comes a nice bitter old school citrus hop. This was more of a English style IPA but Americanized with some new world hops.

Pour is a near all black with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with some floral hops and cacao. Flavor is a nice deep roast with some cacao and bitter bakers chocolate. A very nice roasted malt is left on the tongue. Like the description says this is roasty but not burnt. Very flavorful and I hop this sticks around after the first batch is gone.
