Description
Craft beer is a passion, an obsession and a journey. This journey has opened our eyes (and taste buds) to some of the finest examples of beer this planet has to offer. Our tastes and expectations have forever changed, and so have our methods of enjoyment. From beer trades, to home brewing, to attending release parties and festivals one thing became clear… We rarely drink the same beer over and over again, and we love to share.

Lemon and grapefruit. Some green, unripe mango. Great mix here and a wonderful IPA all around. Hazy yellow pour with great head and lacing. Light bitter end, not really any green onion or hop tang. Love this. Tap at brewery.

A little oak and some lemon. Pours dark copper with great pillow of head and carpet lacing, like you bought the whole bed spread. Light tangy finish. Smooth pour and carbonation on nitro. Tap at Ocelot.

Lots of grapefruit on the top here, some lemon. Golden pour with pretty good head and lacing. Finish is quite bitter. Nice balance here, and nice IPL or whatever we are calling it these days.

Pint can - clear gold, lively pour, thick and cream head - looks quite inviting, really - nose smells like rice, hay, and grass - creamy texture up front becomes watery through the middle and finish - flavors of rice, white grape, grain - finish has some peppery hops and lingering grain notes, along with a light acidity - tail end is all American light corn lager - it isn’t without it’s merits, but it’s not substantially better than the macro brands it clearly seeks be a craft alternative to, aside from how it looks.

Clear gold, ring of white head. Nose is herbal and limey, some grist and corn. Flavor follows. Lime and oily hop over grist. Slick, dry, easy drinker. 7 3 7 4 13

Mango, papaya and passion fruit. Certainly a dose of amaretto almond like flavour here. Pours golden orange with some lasting head and a little lacing. Caramel. Not sure I like this as much as some of their lower ABV West Coast entries. But it's still competent and capable--a lot more than you can say for most people who lean more hazy. Bittersweet end, some booze. Tap at brewery.

Big Nelson here. I get the yuzu they mention, and nectarine, as well as big grapefruit from the Nelson. Hazy yellow pour with pretty nice head and lacing. A little light mango as well. Light bitter end, a little hop citrus tang. Very nice. Tap at brewery.

Raw barley grain, snappy and bitter. Some hint of roast in this. Dark copper pour without much head. Full bodied here. Great example of an uncommon style. Quite a bitter finish, more than many maibocks I've had. Tap at brewery.
