On tap at 2nd Story, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, tart cherries, and earthy notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with candied sugar, light esters and some floral notes. Sweet and estery. It's okay.

On tap at 2nd Story, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings clove and banana in typical hef fashion. Flavour is along the same lines, with banana, clove and some candied esters. Decent enough, I just don't like the style much.

10 oz pour. Last chance to redeem themselves. Medium Amber, small ring of head. Mild hoppy aroma, leaning toward the astringent side. Taste weakens a bit, small hoppy bite, but not much else. Mediocre brewery with great location.

Flight at brewery. This is a pretty run of the mill porter, standard, look, aroma and taste. Roast grains with mild bitterness. Nuff said

Flight at brewery. Dull flat pour. Yeasty aRoma is pungent, a bit strong. Taste also features the yeast, a bit sweet too. Trying hard, perhaps too hard.

Flight at brewery. Clear,bright golden, small creamy head clings to the glass. Very mild hoppy aroma, light piney notes. Taste amps up the hops a bit, mellow , sticky hoppy flavor . Smooth, dries out a bit at the end
