Winter Warmer from Lancaster Brewing Co.

5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Walnut, roasted malt, and yeast aroma. Clear brown pour, medium vanishing head. Strangely sour and astringent roasted malt. Chocolate on the palate.

Milk Stout from Lancaster Brewing Co.

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle. Pour is a dark brown with quite a big head and a very roasty aroma. Scorched malt with a touch of dark chocolate. Flavor is more like milk chocolate and burnt malt, but it is fairly subdued and could be a little fuller. As is, this is really nice but comes off as a bit thin for my tastes.

6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle. Pours mahogany w/ a medium head that does not last. Aroma is caramel and those little banana pieces from runts. Taste is smooth and very sweet. Hop taste is absolutely missing. This is pretty good.

Cloudy reddish gold, pretty with a beige fluffy head....aroma is sweet, a fresh orange-apple blend--undertones of lemon....body is medium to light and refreshing....subtle citrus notes, more apple for some reason....unusual for an IPA....good though...not much else going on here....fresh and clean, you know what I mean?

4.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 4
No obtruse initial odor. Shadowy rootbeer appearance. Rather flat. Taste engenders alt at first but builds an alky knot and woody seasoned spices. Smooth but that alky keeps peeking out. Each slug has a coating syrup back of throat effect. Not quite as good as Breckenridge Autumn Ale.

Hop Hog IPA from Lancaster Brewing Co.

6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottle. Aroma of hops and tropical fruit. Very fruity taste. Definitely not formidable. A nice drink, but not what I look for in an IPA.

Oktoberfest from Lancaster Brewing Co.
18 years ago
3.1/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 2.5
Light golden coloured body with a large white head (more to come later). Aroma of skunky malt, stale hops and very little else. Light-bodied; Sharp taste of foul and stale cardboardie malt with some light spices and a bit of cheese thrown in. Aftertaste shows more of the same - bad stuff. Overall, a pretty bad beer...that isn’t even considering how I drank it: the carbonation in this one exploded the top, forcing bubbles and everything else out of the cap - not a good way to drink it and not a good beer at all! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 18-November-2007.

Nice label. Clear orange colored iced tea. Aroma hints of a stronger alky brew. Spicy strong flavor impact. More personality without bitter offense, compared to other fests. Almost has the personality of some pumpkin beers I’ve had. Creamy carbonation makes its presence known. Mouth filling flavors in every swig. Finish is impact of spice and industrial malt alky thickness. Instead of a sharp back of throat focused bitterness, this seems to coat the whole mouth with a slightly less bitter level.

Amish Four Grain Ale from Lancaster Brewing Co.
19 years ago
4.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle. Body is a brownish copper and supports a smallish head that fades away quickly, leaving some traces on the sides of the glass. Aromas are sweet and fruity... apple juice and a touch of lemon and grass. Flavor has a funk to it that I find unalluring... something akin to finding that someone had put dishsoap in my beer. Flavor reminds me of the smell of fermenting apples that are lying on the ground in fall and pie cherries.

Frothy beige head...reddish amber with a smidge of brown looks like a watered down pepsi...bit of lacing...simple aroma and taste....a mild malt smell, but quite faint....thin body, easy to drink....the essence of cherries, tartness and a touch of sour..Food paring------>grilled chicken and scallops, caramelized BBQ sauce and hot sauce....onion and garlic and mixed veggies...great with spring trickling into summer
