Pour is a cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is honey malt and a decent hit of tropical fruit. Flavor is a little lackluster. Clean malt but kind of loses the hops. Finish is almost bland. Ok but a bit sup par as well.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a nice wet dough malt. Flavor is more cracker wet dough malt with a nice bitter herbal hop at the end. This was a well made and tasty pils and maybe my favorite beers from the brewer.

Pour is a dark amber with a large tan head. Aroma is sweet molasses malt and some burnt sugar. Flavor is a super dry toasted cracker malt with a very minor chocolate bringing things up in the end. Tasty dry malty beer.

Pour is kind of a greenish yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a generic fruit hop combo. Flavor is more generic hops with a dry chalky malt. This was a very poor effort.

Pour is a black with a foamy tan head. Aroma is a big bitter bakers chocolate with some chocolate cake notes. Flavor is again super bitter bakers chocolate with a very ashy burnt malt finish. Pretty decent low abv porter.

Pour is a clear amber with a large white head. Aroma is a slight smoke with a little caramel malt. Flavor is a very subtle smoke. Finish leaves a little smoke on the tongue. If someone wants to sample a rauchbier this is the one I would give them. A very minor smoke with no heavy meatiness.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is candi sugar and yeast ester and some treacle. Flavor is candi sugar, dark plumbs and dusty basement, old book must. This was wonderful and more brewers should start making dark saisons. Kind of a cross between a dubble and a saison.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is bready with honey malt. Flavor is honey covered biscuits. Finish is semi sweet with a nice mineral on the back end. While a nice beer this is far from a dortmunder.

Call Deer Beer. Pour is a clear amber with a large white head. Aroma is some toasted malt. Flavor is again some toasted malt with a little spice hop bit. Probably closest to a Mexican Vienna. This was a simple chugger.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is sweet bready malt. Flavor is More dry cracker malt with a herbal hop finish. I really thought at first this was going to be super sweet but it was not to be. Decent well made Czech pils.
