Pour is a clear dark copper with a small white head. Aroma is caramel and a toasted white bread. Flavor is a non-sweet caramel with a treacle syrup. Finishes dry with bready notes left on the tongue. This was a decent beer. This is one of those style that I don't get quite often so I don't really have anything to compare it to but this reminds me of Anchor Steam.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is cooked rice and a minor hop spice. Flavor is more of that cooked white rice with just a hint of bitterness. The only difference with this beer and the other Old Ledge is that this one is made with rice and the other one with corn. You really get the rice in this one.

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.
