Solid American style IPA. Great fresh hops balanced with just right malt. Ditto bitter/sweet balance. Excellent body and finish; super drinkable.

Pretty good smooth balance Baltic Porter. Aroma is dark malt a hint of black patent and licorice. Later is a little like nose licorice comes through strong along with dark malt a little Earth and tree bark. A little sweet up front with a medium bitter finish. Fairly drinkable.

12oz bottle. Filtered looking dulled orange-tan body. Foamy, steady off-white head. Really does have some unique fruity tones going on. Canned peach, apricot, maybe even a hint of pear...I guess just all things fruit cup. Still has a more classic West Coast malt backdrop, so it comes off pretty balanced. Awful amateur artwork on the bottle, clearly scraping the bottom of the local talent pool..Looks like the doodlings inside of a 14 year old metal kids school notebook...not in a good way. Pretty mellow stuff. Not really diving fully in but trying to appease the new school. OK.

12oz bottle. Imperial Red IPA all the way...certainly a major facet worth disclosing. Filtration works really well here, keeping it nice and clean. Citra hops are there, but it is also malty enough to be someone’s Barleywine. In no way encapsulating a modern approach to IIPA, more of a classic NW resinous malt heavy feel. Pretty tasty stuff. works out well. Imperial hoppy amber at the end of the day.
