Golden coloured, slightly hazy. Clean flavour with hint of banana. Not bad, but I like the more estery versions better.

Pleasant ginger-sweet aroma and a nice color. I enjoyed the light sweet flavor.

Very nice - rich and slightly chocolatey. Nice very dark reddish tinged color. Whitish thin head. Nice lacing. Very good porter. Sweetish aroma - I can't get enough of it.

A very nice, cascadey pale ale. Orange in color, with definite cascadey aroma, with hints at caramel. Flavor is brisk and hoppy, with more cascade hop flavor. Plenty of malt keeps it balanced and quaffable.Update:Buttery malts come in first, followed by a touch of citric hops. Quick head over an amberish liquid. Feels almost as Britishy as their sawtooth esb, with a rounded malt presence, featuring caramel and perhaps a touch of apricot. Flavoring hops are an afterthought, slightly resiny and citric, and providing only a counterpoint to the malts. Finish has a grapefruit-rind bitter quality, but that also has an herbal/medicinal/cough syrup quality to it. As I get further into it, this licoricey-herbal character seems to become more prominent, and less appealing. I was initially going to rate this higher, but I find I’m liking the beer less and less the further I get into it.

I loved the old Tabernash Weisse. That was a long time ago. The decendent of that beer is Left Hand Haystack Wheat. Bottle procured at Bottleworks.
Light hazy yellow colour with a thick head. Heavily yeasty nose - lots of foot. Bland flavour - light pear and dull doughy malt. Rather subpar.
