Hazy red brown beer. Soft but rich - full of tangy malt with just a little hop in the finish. Very tasty and easy to drink.

Bottle. Refreshing fruity aroma, apricot? Cloudy amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is acidic, tastes like a fruit ale. The acid is clearly a flaw. Drinkable, but not so good.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, caramelish and slight peachy. Mild citric and peachy hoppy. Lingering fruity and mild bitter into a crisp hoppy finish. Not sure the citric touch is fully clean.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is prunes fruity, malty and slight yeasty. Vague metallic flavoured. Sweet prunes, plum and raisins - yet not overly sweet. Light yeasty and phenolic. Ends medium dry and persisting fruity. Surprisingly far from classic German Doppelbocks - but nice.

Bottle shared with others. Pours a hazy muddy brown with a light chocolate brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma has a light chocolate note as well as earthy malts and grass hops. Flavor began with earthy grass/pine hop that was joined by hay and dark grains with a bit of backing rye and chocolate.

Bottle @ Hotelroom, Denver, Co. Pours black with a cramy light brown head, looks tasty. Nose is citruss and floral hops, backed up with dark chocolate and light caramel notes. Taste is citruss, little grapefruit, herbal hops, but less dominatn that one would think from the aroma. Hops are balanceded with deep roasted and chocolatelike malts. Medium nody, smooth creamy mouthfeel, long balanced finish, high drinkability. Overall a very nice Black IPA.051210

This Wheat Ale poured a lightly clouded, medium yellow colour with a quick living, white, rocky head. To the nose there are scents of pineapple fruit juice, perfume an floral hopps. First swig was smooth, somewhat undercarbonated and watery. Flavours of caramel, banana and fruit juice. Finish is slightly sweet with an oily mouthfeel.

This Pale Ale poured a clear, medium orange colour with a rocky, white head. To the nose there are scents of heavy malt, caramel, Marmite, licorice and cooked veg. First swig was smooth and under-carbonated. Almost flat. Very rich malt flavour. Other flavours include vanilla, ripe fruit and caramel. Finish is slightly oily with a little hoppy bitterness on the tongue.

This lager poured a cloudy light yellow colour with a bright white, foamy head. To the nose there are scents of corn, metal, cooked veggies and dough. First swig was smooth with a decent amount of hopp flavour. Slightly bitter with flavours of spruce, grass and hay? Finish was slightly bitter with prucy hopps lasting. Very surprized this one has such a low percentile. If they could remove the metal in the bouquet, it would be much better.
