5.2/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Aroma is soft lemon oil. Has little foam and a tepid yellow body. Flavour is soft oily hops, and mouthfeel is a bit too oily. At least the abv is well managed but this one doesn't shine.

Aroma is juicy oily orange rind with a hint of armpit. Has a good mellow head and cloudy light gold liquid. Flavour is bright and juicy orange hops with no malts in there. Mouthfeel is nice with a good balance of oiliness. This is a decent IPA though hardly world class.

Has a very nice sweet coffee and liquor chocolates aroma, some sweet chocolate syrup in there too. Modest beige foam and a dark chocolate cake body. Flavour is great dry barley with sweet cake and coffee notes. Clean dry finish. This is a great sweet stout, easily the best beer I tried from them.

On tap at the brewpub. Aroma is soft dry detergent. Has a nice foam on top of a slightly foggy body. Flavour is an odd hop and sour beer mix, juicy but missing balance or finesse. Mouthfeel is good, sweet juice. Not bad and not great.

Aroma of fresh peaches. Yellow and foggy body. Flavour is a good balance of dry hop with malt hints. Could be more crisp. It's an okay pale ale.

Has a soft salt aroma with some grain. Slight foggy gold body and a tiny bit of foam on top. Flavour is good tartness, slight fresh lemon juice and salt on the back end. Dry finish. This is a fine gose attempt.

Aroma of crisp lager with some gold hops. Has okay foam with a clear gold body. Flavour is nice and dry pilsner with honey notes. Crisp on the mouth. Well refined and clean, quite nice.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy golden with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light piney hops, with some tropical fruiting, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, biscuity malt and light stone fruits. Fruity and piney. A nice PNW IPA - we need more of these.
