5.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
Golden IPA with a lacing creamy white head. Faintly hopped excuse for an IPA, with rather crisp biscuitty malt. In mouth, the hops are more present, with citrusy notes, but this one is lacking in body, and needs more malts to sustain the whole package.

Reddish amber ale with a thin white head. Good perfumey hops, fruity esters, and sweet caramle in aroma. A good malt base with a touch of criisp german hops, well balanced. Medium bodied. Nice nuttyness develops as beer warms up. Another good surprise, the brewer must be getting better (or they got a new one).

Red copper ale with a thin white head. Decent caramel malt in aroma with good hops, much more pronounced than their IPA. In mouth, a decent sweet malt with good british hops, and citrus notes. Medium bodied. Another surprise, based on previous less than flattering comments of the BP.

An opaque brown beer with a small lasting brown head. The aroma is sweet and very roasted, with notes of anise and chocolate mixing in. The flavor is a weird roasty and spicy one, including some off-notes of plastic. Good look - Good aroma - but awful flavor.

An amber beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty and slightly hoppy. The flavor contains notes of caramel and a fine hoppyness, that gives it a hint of straw - and the combination gives it a dry bisquety end.

A copper colored beer with a small beige head. The aroma is very light, but contains notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is malty with hints of caramel as well as some burnt notes, giving way to a slighlty hoppy and bitter end.

A pale yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is slightly sour with primary notes of brewing mash. The flavor is sweet malty and again brewing mash being most dominant.

An unclear light yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is very sweet with loads of lemon - maybe enhanced by the fact that it was served with slices of both lemon and lime. The flavor is a borinug dry wheaty one, with some notes of lemon, that leaves You with a sourness on the lips. The end is dry wheaty. OK thirst quencher on a hot summers day, but nothing else.

Pretty close to black. Roasty aroma, a little bit nutty. Toasty, nutty flavour with a light roast bitterness and hints of sweet chocolate. Clean, but typically unadventurous.

Bright copper-amber colour. Fresh grain aroma. Toasty crystal and chocolate malt character. That’s about it. Quick finish. A real "thanks for coming out" rousse.
