Part of a seven glass flight of Stadium Brewing house beers at the brewpub on 18th May 2015. Bog standard lager/pilsner: clear golden body with a fading white crown: European feel to the brew, even with the corn/grain aroma and initial taste. Not a great beer, but refreshing and crisp enough, slight bitter hop finish.

Part of a seven glass flight of Stadium Brewing house beers at the brewpub on 18th May 2015. This amber coloured beer (see the name!) came with an off-white head and was the sweetest and only malt led brew on the flight. Semi-sweet really with a mild molasses base giving an aroma and taste of caramel and toffee like flavours. I liked it.

~4 oz pour as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Pour is hazed black brown with a light tan head. Aroma is roast/char malt along with some pine hops. Under that is a mild sweetness. Taste is the sweetly char roasted malt followed by a minimal amount of the pine hops. The taste had sort of weird sensation of the roast being added as a flavoring after the brewing process, rather than seeming to be part of the beer. Odd statement, I know, but this beer really lacked cohesion. The flavors were all good, just put together in an off way. Palate is medium, clean and crisp finish. Like with the Pale Ale, I think this is headed down the right path.

~4 oz pour as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Pour is minimally hazed brown, ruby, orange with an off white head. Aroma is big clove, spice and pumpkin meat. Very much a traditional pumpkin beer nose, fresh. Taste is the nose, with all of the flavors plaving together nicely. Clove and spice up front, pumpkin in the middle, and mildly sweet malt in the finish. Palate is medium to heavy bodied, with a residual sweetness to the finish. This was a well made pumpkin beer, though I am not the hugest fan of the style.

~4 oz pour as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Pour is mostly clear orange brownish with an off white head. Aroma is resinous fresh leafy hops, some orange citrus and biscuit malt underneath. Fresh hoppy nose. Taste is the nose, with resinous and citrus hops balanced decently with the biscuit malt. Though balanced, the flavors were quite unintegrated. The palate continues this theme, with the hops lasting for awhile, then the malt passing through. The body is medium to thin, the carbonation is very low which leads this being a bit watery. These were good fresh hops, but almost came across as hop tea. This beer has potential, at least.

~4 oz pour as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Pour is a hazed yellow golden with a 1/2 inch white topping the glass. Aroma is clean grain, wheat, hint of lemon citrus and a nice soft clove yeast. Taste is the nose, but all more subdued - flavors integrate well, but are just not assertive at all. Palate is meduium bodied, crisp finish. Clean enough, just duller than I prefer. Certainly one of the most drinkable in the sampler.

~4 oz pour as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Pour is bluish golden, clear, with blueberries floating in the beer. Aroma is fresh blueberries, overpowering anything the beer has to offer. If the base beer is the Blonde Lager, this is a good thing. Taste is mostly blueberries, some thin grain lager underneath. Palate is thin and watery, and then chunks of fruit. Its a bit hard to tell if this was brewed with the blueberries in any way, or if they were simply dumped into the taster. Gimmicky, but at least the fruit was fresh.

~4 oz pour as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Pour is clear light golden with a smallish white head. Aroma is unclean grain, and almost plasticy sour. Likely infected. Taste removes any doubt, with off chemical taste and a sour butter thing in the back. Fortunately, this beer was made with such little malt, it wasn’t overpowering. Palate was thin watery. Not good, in fact worst beer I have had in quite some time.
