Light clear yellow body and some modest foam on top. Aroma is sugary lager hops, but at least I smell something. Taste is tart honey, vague sweeet rain. Ends semi-smooth with a lemony finish. Again, a bare minimum kind of craft lager you'd be happy to forget.

Okay black body with okay foam. Aroma is nice sweet cocoa, biscuit notes. Taste is good sweet biscuit and caramel. Ends smooth and only slightly wet. Not bad, an okay crowd pleasing kind of dark beer.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Dark clear copper body and okay foam. Smells of nice malt and hops leaning toward licorice, some candied honey. Taste is an okay meld of malt and candied hops, a bit of dank pine in there too. Ends reasonably smooth with a tangy hop finish. Yet it's nothing special an okay IPA and rather middling.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 1 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 3.5
Has weak clear gold body and minimal foam. Aroma is total nothingness, I'm inhaling deeply and I only sort of sense some sugar. Taste is weak honey, very vague hops, ends with soft oiliness and way too wet. If you look up weak tepid pale ale in the dictionary you'll see a picture of this.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 4.5
Clear gold body and some modest foam. Smells of okay cherry and lime, some slight malt. Taste is weak lime, very vague cherry, there's lingering tartness and the sugar saves it somewhat. Really lacking character if I'm being nice.
Deanf (9781) reviewed Jalapeno Galaxy IPA from Black Kettle Brewing 4 years ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Very nice foam on a hazy light gold body. Smells of big sharp fresh jalapeno, very nice, some soft hops in there too. Taste is fresh jalapeno, very green, accented by some piney hops. Ends with lingering jalapeno, some sweetness, very refreshing. Quite nice and a total departure from their last one I had.

Appearance - 2 | Aroma - 3 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 2 | Overall - 2.5
Weak medium copper body and no foam. Smells of vague caramel and honey, almost unnoticeable. Taste is soft floral hops, a bit of honeyed cracker and ends way too wet, embarrassing really. In standard BC fashion it's totally missing the mark for an ESB.

Good black body and some modest foam. Aroma is okay hops, but the black part of the black IPA seems to be lacking. Taste is okay sweet cocoa, hints of hops, ends nicely dry and oily with good lingering hop character. An okay black IPA, but kind of doing the bare minimum for the style.
Lubiere (24459) ticked Blackberry Porter from Black Kettle Brewing 4 years ago
A dark brown porter with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, light mineral notes, light peated notes, not bad. On tap at brewery.
Lubiere (24459) ticked Grumpy Unicorn IPA from Black Kettle Brewing 4 years ago
A golden ipa with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light treacle and butterscotch notes, so-so. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with resinous hops, light butterscotch, very old school and malt forward.
