Mild aromas of pale malt, wheat, Belgian yeast and maybe some spice. Flavors are similar to nose, sweet dominates a little and a bit more spice comes out. Don't really pick up the orange peel. Not a bad attempt at the style but nothing special either.

Aromas are very mild malt with a hint of hops. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, old school hop profile and very easy drinking. Don't know what's Belgian about it but nice beer.

16 oz. can. Foam has a very slight pinkish tinge. Also a perceptible bit of pink in the golden haze. Light general fruit nose, maybe a tiny bit of clove. Taste is very nice. Again, a slight but definite hint of hefeweizen spice, just the tiniest note of banana. But distinct strawberry taste besides. Another of Funkytown's very drinkable beers intended to hook non beer drinkers: nicely flavored and easy drinking.

Rather unique Amber Lager. Tastes a little young, or just inappropriate recipe. A lot of amber-vanilla malt tone, no fruity ale esters to make them unbearable. Kind of on a decent homebrew level. Not bad, just not good.

Can enjoyed at X-Ray Arcade in Cudahy, WI. Golden color, light mango, crisp going down, good amount of citrus, very enjoyable. Would have again.

Tap at Pilot Project. Chunky, roasty stout, has some hop balance. Blueberry and vanilla are well incorporated, not overly sugary or pastrified. Full bodied,but drinkable,not imperial. Good.

16 oz. can, $2.99 single at Orange and Brew. Foamy pour, slightly hazy amber color. The nose is mainly a good balance of amber malts and straightforward beer hops. Guess that's the mix of American, German and English cones talking. Taste is full and hearty, with solid malts, and hop bitterness with a touch of pine, a touch of citrus, and a note of peat. Aftertaste is mainly malt. A nice beer that amplifies everything a beer should have. And in this alternate reality of RateBeer, I remain the Mayor of FunkyTown!

On tap at Pilot Project. Pours a yellow gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is pepper, wheat, smoke. Slick body, straw, peppercorn, light smoke finish, very nice.

Sampled from the tap at Pilot Project. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light pine and a bit of citrus rind with a bit of grass underlying. Flavor has a grass and pine commination with a touch of bright citrus coming through.
