This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There was some light foamy clingy lacing sticking nicely to the glass.
The smell had a nice sweet malty bill but allowed a nice under current of light spice to grace my nose.
The taste was mainly just sweet as it settled over my taste buds.
The palate had a decent sessionability with a fairly nice lightness about it. The carbonation was smooth.
Overall, good California Common that I could have again.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a light glossy orange color with a decent yellow around the edges. There was some light stringy lacing around the glass.
The smell had some light citrus to blend decently with a caramel malt base and then as it warmed there was a nice light spiciness that came out.
The taste was mainly the same thing.
The palate was somewhat dry and still carried a slight degree of sessionability.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good beer.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice dark brown close to black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some clingy semi - thick lacing trying to stick to the glass.
The smell was basically roasty with a tad of light chocolate and coffee.
The taste followed the nose.
The palate was slightly roasty and carried itself impressionable over my tongue in a good way making it semi - sessionable.
Overall I say that this was a pretty good beer.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed last Summer.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a nice hazy golden orange to amber color.
The smell had a nice blend of sweet blueberry notes subtly combining with a decent wheat malt base.
The taste was mainly sweet with a light wheat kick at the end.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a sessionability that could be slightly discerned. The carbonation was subdued and slightly smooth but yet the wheat that was in this one maintained a certain mildness that wasn’t necessarily expected.
Overall flavorful sweet fruity Summer ale in the blueberry fashion, uh... heck yeah, definitely one of the better blueberry ales on the market these days.

This stout poured a deep black colour without a head at all. Random soapy bubbles, tan in colour. No lacing. Scents include cocoa, light coffee, white paste (glue), cardboard and burnt toast. First sip was almost un-carbonated with flavours of roasted coffee and malt with a very light flavour of cocoa. Finish is roasty with roasted caramel flavours lingering with coffee.
