Tap @ CK. Good looking, fluorescent, yellow-orange appearance with a fading white head. Fairly spicy yeasty, potent citrusy, banana, clove, sweet wheat malty aroma. So good so far. Moderately spicy, somewhat tangy orange citrusy, fairly strong banana, light clove, sweet wheat malty flavor with a smooth, orange-banana smoothie finish. More banana in the aftertaste. This doesn’t blow my mind, but it’s a very solid offering and dare I say the best German Hefeweizen in recent memory from the slew of new breweries in Denver. Thank you guys. Now make this baby a year round beer and make lots of money.

Tap @ CK. Black appearance with a foamy, dark brown head. Oaty, rich dark chocolate malty, mild medium roast coffee, light vanilla, very light bourbon aroma. Oily mouth feel. Very tasty, roasty dark coffee flavor. Rich dark chocolate/cocoa, mild woody, light vanilla, very mild bourbon flavor. Rich mocha, somewhat bitter aftertaste with the alcohol nearly nonexistent on the finish. Really an excellent, super easy drinking beer but the bourbon really isn’t coming through. I understand that many of their customers may prefer it, but it was served far too cold. Edit: The bourbon comes out more in the aroma and somewhat in the flavor, as the beer warms up. Again, not the best beer to serve ice cold (but it is an exceptional offering).

Tap @ brewery. Cloudy, ruby orange appearance with a cream colored head. Somewhat resiny, orange citrusy, mild to moderate hoppy aroma. Resiny, grapefruity, tangy citrusy, sweet, a touch toasty malty flavor. Clean flavor. On a side note, I asked off this was unfiltered and was told that all their beers besides the Mexican Stout are unfiltered.

Tap @ brewery. Hazy, a touch orangish yellow appearance with a white head. Bready pale malty, very light hoppy, herbal aroma. Easy drinking flavor but a little boring- sweet pale malty, lightly fruity, mild grassy/floral hoppy flavor. The hops don’t seem very assertive for a Bohemian Pilsner.

Tap at CK - medium copper with a light haze - frothy, well-sustained head - nose of toasty grains, moderately floral and fruity hops - light bready notes, a hint of honeyish sweetness - medium bodied, smooth texture - lightly sweet - a nice bready character, toastiness - a touch of caramel - tail end has a nice mix of floral, lightly grassy, and mildly fruity hop character - lingering bready and lightly bitter finish - a touch of buttery flavor in the finish reduces the experience a notch, but still very tasty - another quality lager from CK.

Tap at CK - golden pour with a soapy, lasting head - a bit of a haze to it, but I won’t hold that against it - nose of floral and grassy hops, light mineral, a slight honeyed malty quality - full in the mouth - sturdy but soft carbonation - the front end is dry, crisp and fairly bitter - a lot of grassy hop character - the middle brings a mild sweetness to balance, as the tail end and finish bring another strong punch of peppery, floral hoppiness - crisp, lingering finish - fairly bitter for a pils, and not as elegant as it could be, but nicely balanced and very tasty none-the-less - nice to have such a tasty lager made so close to home.

Tap at CK - tapped as the "mystery beer" at their annual "new years mystery beer release" - one of only two kegs - dark amber with a purplish tint - quite rich and smooth, with a rather strong, rich melanoidin quality to it - deep, rich malt character that makes it hard to pick up the qualities imparted by the yeast - a lot of dark fruit character in the form of plum and fig - a very light touch of spiciness - caramel and toffee - certain characteristics are not all that "quad-like," but the fact that a brewery that has been open for nine months can produce a beer at this strength with such balance and richness is quite an accomplishment - very tasty.

Tap at CK - lightly hazy golden - a simple but fairly balanced Belgian strong - some moderate cereal grain crispness - a light honey sweetness - very ligh phenols, trending toward the peppery end of the spectrum - very light banana - well-masked alcohol - a touch of sulphur through the middle is somewhat off-putting, but otherwise simple and fairly balanced - spicy finish.

Tap @ brewery. Black appearance with a light brown head. Mildly smoky, roasty dark malty aroma. Somewhat smoky but almost more a roasty, burnt malty flavor with notes of chocolate and espresso. Ok.
