Description
For us, good living means exploring – the opposite of “comfortable.” It’s not just about craft, but about questing, questioning, transforming “What If” into “Here’s How,” by way of an experiment so crazy, it just might work.

Exploration is the line from local beer maker to World-Class Brewer. It’s a pioneer impulse, and it sets the authentic, rural heartbeat of Southern Tier. It’s how we got here. And by the time others catch up, it’ll be why we’re already somewhere else.

From our wildly innovative founder, Phin DeMink, who’s still a daily inspiration, to the new generation of brewers, thinkers, and drinkers who share our pursuit of what’s next, we keep honing the creative edge of brewing discovery.

So this is an open invitation, to anyone who gives a damn about the difference between a well-crafted beer and a stunningly satisfying encounter with the new. Join us on the road less traveled.

Outstanding aroma of every imaginable citrus fruit you can think of, with some light alcohol. The flavor is pungent, sweet with traces of malt. Sweet juicy hops, this really is a grat beer for hop addicts. But the finish is a little watery, and a touch metallic. Good but not great.

Smells like vanilla chocolate cake, with a cup of espresso, with quite a bit of booze in the background. No hops. Lots of charred malts. Incredibly sweet, cloying. Now way im finishing this bomber. If you have diabetes this beer ia putting you into a coma.

Clear amber pour, small white head. Strong aroma of boozy malts and a ouch of pine. The flavour is big on full bodied doughy malts, with a pretty harsh bitterness. The finish is quite bitter and a little astringent.

650ml bottle from the lcbo. The aroma is quite incredible. A potent mix of werthers caramels, butterscotch pudding and a sticky cloying burnt brown sugar caramel. The flavor is more is tge sticky sweet caramel, and butterscotch with some intense dry bitterness in the finish. There really isn’t any resemblance of anyroasted malt, the only clue that there is some hops is the intense bitterness in the end. This isn’t bad but good god it’s sweet and a 650ml bomber is way too much for one person .

Aroma of floral citric hops, some very nice sweet bready malts, and a big note of caramel. Flavor is a big mix of tropical fruit, and sweet bready cara malts. The head is a dark beige, and it coats he glass very thickly. The finish is quite dry, but the bitterness lingers. An interesting double IPA. quite hoppy, but also quite sweet and malty. Its the best of both worlds, and an incrfedibly balanced DIPA.

Darl black pour, Dark mocha head. Aroma of milk choclate, toffee, brown sugar and a touch of coffee. The flavor was very very sweet, bit lactic notes of milky chocolate, amd a healthy dose of roasted malts. Finish was also very sweet with zero bitterness. Im not a fan of lactic flavors, so this was not my favorite, but it was still quite nice

650ml bottle.

golden pour, frothy sticky head. Aroma is ALL hops, loads of grapefruit, lemon, orange, even some sweet clementine. Flavor is a mouthload of hoppy goodness. Not sure how this is an American Strong Ale, to me this is an IPA, maybe even a DIPA. Just a great super hoppy beer, i wouldnt expect anything less.

Good weizen pour hazy and golden. Aroma of malted wheat, lemon, and fesh cut grass. Flavor is quite full bodied and rich. Lots of banana and there is quite a lingering bitterness. Overall I’m not that impressed, it’s good but not great.

aroma is bready and quite oaky, with next to no cherries. some nice hops in the flavour with more oak, really this is neither a cherry flavoured beer nor a saison. this beer to me is an oak aged belgian ale.

wow, what an amzing aroma on this beer. LOADS of pie spices, it smells just like i’m drkinking a pumpkin pie!!! the flavour is a little less complete, lots of cinnamon, caramom, and all spice. Not much else in here, i’m not getting much hops or malt, its like pie in a bottle.
