This is not an impressive brewery. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a straw yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is light and has sour malt and a hint of spice. The flavor is sour, mild hop and malt and fairly sweet on the finish. Overall a fairly blah lager.

I am not a huge fan of this brewer. This was my first try of this particular brew and I doubt that I will try it again.+++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze color with a medium tan head. There was a strong sour malt aroma. The flavor was light sour malt. It was drier than it smelled. It generally tasted like a typical macro with just a slightly stronger malt body. Disappointing.

Clear amber body, persistent pillowy light cream head. Earthy, biscuity, toasted grain aroma. The body is watered-down but maintains traditional Oktoberfest flavors of grain, biscuit, toast, and a touch of caramel. No off-flavors. Light bitterness. The thin body keeps this from being offensive as many beers of this style border on.

Draft. A good try at a Wisconsin Okto that is hamstring by megabrew constraints. Decently golden brown color and foamy head. A nice amber malt character, but nothing that says it’s anything but a lager with a few darker grains thrown in. No real faults as a beer, but Oktos are too easy a style to go bland in.

(bottle- Indiana brewers fest) red copper beer. Cardboard aroma and unpleasant oxidized taste. Mediocre at best.

This one at least sounded appetizing. Unfortunately the beer within did not measure up. +++Sampled from a 12 oz bottle the beer poured a thin black color with a small tan head. There was a sour skunky scent and an odor reminiscent of rotting vegetables. The flavor was dry malt, mild hops and a slightly skunky aftertaste. Pretty blah but barely drinkable.

This is sweet almost wine cooler sweet. I am surpirsed it is a beer. It is a lot more juice sweet than any lambic or fruit beer i have ever tried before. Its good for desert i guess and for your none beer drinking friends. I wont be buying it again however.

Interesting aroma of honey, lemon, minty wheat, grassy hops and sweet malt - all that yet still a very mild aroma. Roundly sweet palate but disappears in the middle leading to a near unbalanced hoppy finish. Bright gold, no head.

I have been aware of this brewery since I was a child due to some of their paraphernalia in my father’s bar. This was the first chance that I had to actually try the beer - so I had been curious for quite some time. +++Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle the beer poured a nice red-amber color with a small tan head. The aroma while faint was pleasantly malty. The flavor was crisp and light with definite malty undertones. There was a bit of an off sour tang on the aftertaste. It was a little yeasty and bready. Not bad really. A decent quaffable red.

Clear light yellow with a foamy white head. slightly grassy and lemony smell. light malts but almost no hops, with the honey coming out in aftertaste. light to medium. OK considering its a miller.
