Dry crackery malts with bright resinous hops. A tad unbalanced because of lacking some malt oomph and backbone to balance those hops, like most session IPAs. But still drinkable, sessionable.

Really pale near straw color. Super dank and catty, seriously smells like marijuana. Taste is more grassy. Light bready malts, medium bitterness. Honestly a bit better than expected but not super great, I think because it lacks finishing bitterness, and tastes more like a helles with hop aromatics than a real pilsner. But I'd go back to this one.

Fairly sour, with a hint of cherry mainly in the flavor. Semi-dry, nearing balance, with some mineral qualities. Not bad, but seemed to be missing some oomph, or maybe was just a tad to high grav. I dunno. It was my 2nd beer after a long mountain hike and I had hoped it was be just a little bit more refreshing and perfect but it didn't want to be.

I had somewhat expected this to be the best of their lineup, I suspected they were turning it up to 11 on the hoppiness, but it was pretty much a middle of the road classic west coast IPA. Nothing wrong with that but not living up to the name though. So, mostly light citrus and resin notes in aroma and flavor, with a clean neutral malt profile, with some hints at caramel.

My initial reaction was holy chocolate batman because is one chocolatey porter. But its got some balance, with nice caramel malt notes, its semi-sweet to neutral. Medium brown color. Very good, worth trying.
Nice semi-sweet cider, but I can’t taste even a hint of maple syrup.

Old dusty bottle from my local supermarket. Rounded pint glass. Clear pale, slightly sparkling straw body. Smells of apricot, white wine, bitter apples, pith. Tastes of apricots, tart green apple, bittersweet green fruit, yeast. Honey isn't really detectable till the finish. Thin with a slight slickness on the finish. Not too complex, but easy drinking. Okay.
