Bright amber colour. Light breadcrusty malts with foresty hops. Light bodied amber with slight caramel accent. Forgettable.

A little toasty in the nose with hints of chocolate. Chestnut colour. Clean taste, lightly smokey with dry, full grain character. Pretty simple example.

Dark red ale with an assertive aroma of florals, tropical fruits (papaya, pineapple). Sweet character. Wonderful blend of fruity hop and bright breadcrusty malts. Complex and flavourful, a top notch session brew.

Golden straw colour. Flowery aroma hints of quenching capabilities. Fresh citrusy character - light and grapefruity. A little astringency. Light malt notes. Similar to an English golden ale.

Light amber colour. Light hop aroma. Very spicy character. Light body. Moderate bitterness. Neither citric not very bitter. It’s interesting though but maybe not my thing.

Draft. Big off-white head on a dark beer. It's a good beer and very typical of the style. Slight roastiness with good hop levels.

Draft. This might have been the best beer of theirs that I tried. It's a standard un-offending amber that's very smooth and drinkable.

Draft. Good bitterness in a fairly balanced pale ale. Nothing outstanding. Has a bit of a nutiness to it. Citrus aroma and flavor (orange/grapefruit). Easy drinking. Had it in a can and I liked it more

Draft. Mahogony color with a malty/fruity/hoppy/slightly herbal taste that's a bit different. You don't notice the hops first, but they're definately there. The fruity taste is a bit different and gets very tiresome towards the end.
