A dark reddish mahoganny ale with a thin white head. This must be a Irish red since the butterscotch predominates in aroma, fruity, not unpleasant. In mouth, a good nutty beer, with light torrefied malt, but again, very short and sweetish. Nice effort. Tasted at the Union Square location, Nov. 2006.

A red amber ale with no head. A caramel malt aroma with lots of strawberries and butterscotch. Yet another boring ale, with light sweetish malt, restrained hops, nutty notes and rather short in mouth. Boring. Tasted at the Union Square location, Nov. 2006.

A murky dark hazy golden ale with a thin white. Aroma is ruined by the slug of lime. In mouth, a rather thin and borig wheat ale, with light malt, mineral water, oh-hum.....Tasted at the brewpub, Nov. 2006.

A golden orange lager with a thin lacing white head. A good malt base with nice caramel notes in aroma. In mouth, a classic pils, czech in style, with lots of hops, biscuitty malts, and a nicely oily mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Tasted at the Union Square location, Nov. 2006.

A golden orange ale with a thin lacing white head. Aroma of tangerine and light malt, quite nice. In mouth, a light orangey ale, refreshing. A good start to the sampling at this place. Tasted at the Union Square location, Nov. 2006.

Nitro pour at the Empire State location - it was a little strange to have this on nitro, but I suppose the brits put certain pale-ale-ish type beers on nitro, so this isn’t entirely unusual - the creamy palate that the pour produces helps keep the citrusy hops from becoming abrasive - the malt profile wasn’t very strong, but was enough to aid in balancing out the hops - very easy drinking for an assertively hopped ale, which is a-okay with me.

Lightly roasted malts, oats, chocolate, and toasted nuts. Very smooth and easy drinking. Part of me wishes it was a little more intense but the drinkability of it as is will bring me back again.

Light fruits, light hops, some bitterness, and caramel malts. Crisp and refreshing but not all that flavorful. It is beer, but thats about as far as it goes.

Hoppy, but a little too muted for a US IPA. Fairly malty, biscuit, grassy, and some sweetness, too. Light metallic and resin finish. It almost seemed like they brewed US and UK IPAs, then mixed them. I did enjoy this one, though.

Aroma and flavor were one in the same: Malty with some apricots. I found this to be too sweet for my tastes. Not bad, but it’s not for me.
