Description
Great beer, good music in back, odd people. We are a small microbrewery located south of Chicago in Lansing, Illinois. Our tasting room serves eight different selections of our hand-crafted beer. Our beer won't make you strong or handsome, but if you appreciate craft beer and want to meet some guys that are happy to make it, serve it, and probably drink it with you.

16oz can. Rich, thick, malty. Pleasant enough example of the style, not super hoppy or bitter. Full bodied. OK.

Pretty solid Red Ale, somewhere between an Irish Red and West Coast Amber. Luscious, deep amber caramel malt tone. Sort of red fruity hop tone. Good.

Sampled from the tap at Navigator Taproom. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has light citrus and citrus rind with a touch of grapefruit and light grain backing. Flavor has grass and citrus with a strong earthy grain backbone in the finish.

Pour is a murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is dark sugar and dark fruit. Flavor is much the same a sweet dark fruit with a lasting chewy dark malt. Flavorful but also very sweet.

Bottle shared. Black with a small short lived beige head. Aroma of big bourbon/vanilla/oak barrel upfront with caramel, molasses, booze, dark chocolate, overripe dark fruit, alcohol, licorice and coffee. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with a sticky moderate thick texture, hot alcohol in the finish and soft carbonation.

Enjoyed on tap at the Owl in Chicago, IL before seeing the band Chain & The Gang. Appearance is a bright pinkish red with a thin white head. Aroma of light yeast, fruity, sour notes. Taste of sour raspberries, finishes crisp. Overall I think it's pretty good.

Draft at Olympic. From notes. Loads of tropical fruits dominate. Nice citrus and caramel notes balance it out.
