On tap at Menace, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malt and light hop resins. Flavour is along the same lines, revealing an above average hop resinous character, toasted bready malt and a hint of dried caramel. Nicely constructed, with an ample body. Solid stuff.

On tap at Menace, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops, some herbal notes and a light vegetal character. Flavour is pretty subdued in the hop department, bringing out strange herbal and vegetal notes, with light floral hops and biscuity malt. Too herbal and vegetal - either these are bad hops or something is off here. Either way, needs work.

On tap at Menace, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with straw, biscuity malt and light piney hopping. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp biscuity malt, straw and bittering hops. Very easy drinking, with almost no residual sweetness. Nice stuff.

Light bronze. Bubbly head. Woody and a bit caramelly on the nose. Toasty. Lots of chewy malts. Moderate bitterness. Not the full expressive hop you typically see in an IPA, but a well-made beer nonetheless.

Light gold. Thin head. Bit of light crystal malt character...or I guess Vienna malt. That slightly caramelized malt sweetness is really nice, though that’s about all this has to offer. Good clean standard lager, really.

Golden. Bubbly head. Fairly clean and uneventful on the nose. Not all that wheaty, but a little pear ester is more acceptable in this type of beer if not more attractive overall.

Quite pale, bubbly head. Touch of ester, mellow pale malt has a touch of breadiness.

Chewy, has a nice toasty character. Golden-amber colour. Complex, nice malt bill, fair bit of bitterness, too. A well-balanced amber.

Medium brown, light chocolate, medium body. A touch of fruit but no more than in a typical Irish stout. Roasty, nice balanced bitterness. Not a foreign stout - the style really is a mystery to Americans - but it’s a good American stout.

Golden, lots of hops bursting in the nose. Balanced palate, piney, bitter citrus, dry finish. Slightly crackery malts supporting it nicely. Good brew.
