Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet grainy malt. Flavor is more of this same a light sweet grain malt with some corny like adjunct left on the tongue. Very light but drinkable summer crusher.

Pour is a nice dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is not much. I really tried to get something off this but a faint basic generic malt is it. Flavor is again sadly more of the same. A little dark malt with a slight roasted nut. This was really just a big bunch of nothing going on.

Pour is a dark black with a thin tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with some bitter coffee and cinnamon. Flavor is pretty much all the same things. Roasted malt, a bitter strong coffee and some cinnamon. I did not get much vanilla but the coffee is strong here.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is a decent grapefruit hop. Flavor is again more grapefruit with some honey malt sweet backbone and a very resiny aftertaste. A little sweet, a little of school hop but I found this enjoyable. I did not know how a brewer that makes mostly German styles would make a decent IPA but here we are.

Pour is a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is mildly sweet biscuit malt. Flavor is pretty much the same with a little added roasted nuttyness on the back end. Drinkable no frills dunkel.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a decent pils dry cracker malt with some bittering hops. Flavor is kind of a thick and heavy malt syrup with some grassy hops. A little to heavy for a easy drinking pilsner.

No info on the can about this beer but the interwebs lists this a kolsch with peach puree. Pour is a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is peaches not much else. Flavor is again pretty much all peaches with a little crystal malt backbone. Not much of a kolsch, this is more fruit beer but it has a pretty decent peach flavor to it that does not seem artificial.

Pour is a clear amber with a large white head. Aroma is a nice caramel malt with some leather notes. Flavor is more caramel malt with some earthy leathery notes. Finish is toasted grain with some malt grain. I don't get to sample this style too often but this seems on par with the ones I've had. Slight malty sweetness with a toasted grain and a dark bread.

Pour is a darker gold with a soapy head. This poured more like a cider than a beer. Aroma is grain and honey. Flavor is is light hints of honey and not much else. No aftertaste, sweetness or bitterness. Kinda blah.
