Listed as Pen City, probably same beer. Soft barley aroma, has good foam on deep dark brown body. Flavour is okay molasses, dark chocolate, some licorice, mouthfeel is full and smooth. This is nice, easy, well crafted, probably their best beer.

Has the stench of soft rancid berry, tartness, armpit hops, still foul no matter what. Has okay deep ruby body and some modest foam. Flavour is rotting cheese with some tart berry notes. Terribly cloying aftertaste. This is totally wrong, it only gains a few points because it looks mostly correct and is barely tart.

Vague hops aroma, and I mean really vague. Has murky yellow body with no foam. Flavour is weak hops and vague citrus. Mouthfeel is watery with very modest carbonation. This is the very textbook definition of a boring IPA.

Soft grain aroma served with a lemon wedge and the lemon lingers. Has weak gold body and little foam. Flavour is weak grain character and nothing else. Mouthfeel has okay carbonation but nothing else. This is highly mediocre, maybe a few dozen more lemon wedges could make it palatable.

Served with an orange slice - who serves an IPA with an orange slice? Anyways it smells of soft hops overpowered by said orange slice, has okay gold body with modest foam. Flavour is soft hoppiness, slightly sweet. Mouthfeel is full, decent carbonation and good oiliness. Hardly memorable but light years ahead of the other ones I've tried from them so far.

Murky brown sugar smell, has muddy brown liquid like the discharge from rusty pipes. Flavour is all butter and brown sugar. Cloying butter aftertaste. This is bad in every respect.

Soft caramel on the nose, has weak copper body with little foam. Flavour is okay maltiness, some hints of hops. Mouthfeel is way too thin but there's okay carbonation. Average at best.

Way too soft grain aroma, has weak gold body with minimal foam. Flavour is all heavy butter, weak grain. Finish is all cloying butter. This is all sorts of wrong.

Soft grain aroma, served with a lime so the lime dominates. Has weak gold body with little foam. Flavour is all murky grain, cloying buttery finish. Very mediocre and boy that lime is necessary.

Dark brown. Thin head. Light fudgey nose, thin body with just a touch of chocolate. Quite sweet.
