Since when is being Ornery a good thing? When I think ornery, I think of the smart-ass kids you find on network TV sitcoms. I hate those kids. Luckily I will not hold the adjective against this beer. Pours a dark orangish-brown with a medium thin bone white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and maple. Medium-bodied and kind of syrupy, with flavors of caramel, malt, honey and hops. More hops would have helped this beer, as it almost OD's on the sweet/syrupy aspect. The finish is sticky too. Another forgettable beer from Tommyknocker.

This Lager scales new heights in blandness. Pours a pale and lightly fizzy yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma is barely detectable hops. Rather thin bodied and clean, with a weak hops flavor. Finish is crisp. I'd take this over a macro lager on a hot summer day, but that's about it.

I think I got an old one, this did not taste anything like what I was expecting. Pours a dark brown color with a medium beige and quickly dissipating head. Next to no lacing. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor was just way too sour, with a touch of sweetness that could have been caramel and could have been malt. Hard to tell though as the sourness dominated. Finish was kind of flat. I'll have to try this one again some time, it just seemed off.

Wonderful lemon rind-citric hoppy aroma. Strong but not in your face. Copper color with med creamy head and plenty of lacing. Good retention. Very creamy and balanced palate. Nice caramel malt presence and good hopping, with citrusy hop flavors. So easy drinking, the beer just disappears in the glass.
