Florals and some clove. Nice light lemon balm type flavour. Easy drinking though a little heavy on the potpourri. I could drink large amounts of these like Duval or something but still not bad. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Light sweet end. Tap at brewery.

No balance. Lots of lime peel and bitter hops. Pours orange with great head and lacing. Bitter end. Not a lot here but easy drinking and decent body like midseason polar bears. Tap at brewery.

Lots of bitter hops, tastes like falconers though I know it's not. Rusty like your voice when you're toothless from too many heroin ODs like the inspiration for this beer. Pours red with great head and lacing. Better than most reds. Very bitter end. Tap at brewery.

A little odd. Definitely one of those kolsches where the brewers seemed to be trying to do something else that failed then just called it a kolsch by default because nobody really knows what a kolsch is anyway. Golden pour with ok head and lacing. Dry, and bitter end. Tap at brewery.

Pretty good ESB. Lime peel and pepper. Sharp bitterness on finish - more than most ESBs. Orange pour with good head and lacing. Pretty nice. Tap at brewery.
