12 oz. can. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color, with a medium, cream, foamy head. The aroma is wet grass, thyme, lemon zest, and vanilla. Sweet and malty, with a light bitterness. Very light and easy. Simple, aromatic, and mellow.

Sample from a can at Veteran's. Pours a clear, reddish-orange color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is banana, orange peel, dust, cream, and caramel. Sweet and citrusy, with no real bitterness nor tartness. Light body, with a creamy, lightly acidic, and crisp mouthfeel. This is a pretty light and refreshing beer, but lacks character.

Sample from a can at Veteran's. Pours a clear, ruby-brown color, with a small, tan head. The nose is light smoke, caramel, bark, rye, and molasses. Sweet and syrupy, with a light bitterness. Light to medium body, with a syrupy, sharp, and watery palate. This is a weak doppelbock, but pretty tasty, regardless.

Taste from the can at Veteran's. Pours dark brown, with a medium, frothy, beige head. The aroma is strong espresso, chicory, oak, earth, and syrup. Sweet and grainy, and just a little bitter. Medium to heavy body, with a syrupy, chalky, and thick mouthfeel. This is a coffee forward, and pretty tasty beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours clear, golden yellow, with a medium, fizzy, off-white head and good lacing. Pineapple, spruce, toffee, and thyme. Sweet and sugary, with a sharp, bitterness, and an unpleasant aftertaste. Light to medium body, sticky, and clingy. Overall, this is a pretty sharp, easy pale ale. A little off, but not too bad.

22 oz. bottle, shared by Zach. Pours a very dark, ruby brown, with a small, rocky, off-white head. The nose is cherries, raspberries, and cough syrup, with notes of rye, bitter orange peel, and light yogurt. Sweet and syrupy, with a very mild sour flavor, and a bit of bitterness. Medium to heavy body, thick, syrupy, and a little acerbic. This is a nicely done Flemish brown, with good, funky, fruity notes. Could be more sour, and the aromas are a little off, but overall, I’m impressed.

Bottle from Foothills liquors. Underwhelmed from the start, as it starts very sweet. Doesn’t get much better picking up very few BBA notes. No booziness, no wood, just brown sugar sweetness. This should have been much better...bad introduction to this brewery.

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown, with a medium, foamy, tan head. The nose is molasses, burnt toast, pine, and some mustiness. Sweet up front, with an unpleasant bitterness and off flavors in the finish. Light to medium body, syrupy, and clingy. This is a weak and watery stout. The aroma has some promise, but the flavor is off-putting.

Bottle @ Drink Rich’s American beer, thanks to Omgrich. Brune foncée, pas de col, doré au verre. Arôme au bouquet malté, grillé et chocolaté le tout restant dans un bouquet banal de stout impériale. Palais est malté, grillé sur pointe de café, fine épice le tout restant très américain dans son approche des malts avec un fini laissant des notes de sucre résiduel qui procure une certaine douceur-liquoreuse collante aux lèvres. Alcool ressort pas mal, mais le tout reste un peu décevant pas l’approche minimaliste du style.
