Steelhead Extra Pale Ale from Mad River Brewing
19 years ago
7.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pale golden, average head. Rich hoppy nose with lots of lychee and pineapple. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft and gentle and the body is light. It’s completely dominated by the aroatic hops, yet the bitternes is not really that powerful. A cottony hop aroma experience.

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Cloudy dark amber, small head. Rich grapefruity hop aroma. Rather sweet and solidly malty with light crystal malt character. Very rich on soapy, grapefruity hops. Lingering bitterness. Very American and straight to the point - and very good!

Redwood Stout from Mad River Brewing

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle: Dark brown, near black pour with a smaller brown head. No real lacing to speak of. Aroma is mostly coffee with some chocolate tones and hints of roasted malts. Taste is a rich coffee with cocoa accents and some bittersweetness. There is another coffee/mocha kick right in the finish. Nice full bodied stout.

Bottle from aspidites; Thanks Mike! Nose is very citrusy hops mixed with some light caramel notes; medium hazy copper color with a small beige head; flavor is very hoppy with medium bitterness and lots of tart lemon and sour orange accents.

8.1/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Poured a extremely deep, oily black with a huge creamy tan head. The moment it started to pour you could smell the roasted malts, but also hints of cherry and plum. Roasted, nutty flavor hints of vanilla and malt. Creamy on the palate.

5.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
A hazy light yellow beer with a dense white head. The aroma is sweet with a good hop profile including notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with some hops - but too thin bodied and flavored for really being good.

Uniontown Porter from Mad River Brewing

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle pours a black witha thin light tan head. Traces of light lacing. Dark roastd malts with some coffee and chocolate. Flavor is slightly bitter dark roasted charcoal notes, some coffe afain and a fairly thin feel. Lingering dark chocolate trailer. Pretty good. Lacking that ascidic sour porter twang that turns me off a bit on thie style.
