Decent bitter. Pours reddish amber. Average carbonation. Good for style, with balanced hop and malt. Actually a nice full palate, especially on finish. Even a faint hint of smokiness or something. Tap at brewpub.

The regular hefe is probably a little better than this. The hops here put the hefe off-balance and the beer loses its character. Pours hazy gold with ok head and lacing. Some hops on nose, with more hidden hints of bread yeast and light clove. Finishes bitter and sour. Tap at brewpub.

Pretty boring red lager. Average carbonation. Pours reddish clear amber. Finishes a little sweet with some off-tasting sourness - even the gold is better than this. Doesn’t come together well. Tap at brewpub.

A nice surprise from Lilihel, growler from the brewpub under "Spiced Pumkpin Porter". Pours a clean copper colour with a beige head, average retention, kind of creamy with some decent lacing. Aromas of caramel and bananas with some yeast and the pumpkin and spice in the background. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Not as spicy, but the pumpkin comes out in the taste. A good real pumpkin ale.

A dark brown stout with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate with grassy notes, caramel, nice. In mouth, a sweet and lightly peated chocolate with light licorice, a bit of herbal quality, not bad. On tap at brewery.
