Pour is a bright copper with a large foamy white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy with some butterscotch. Flavor is again slightly hoppy with some grainy malt with a soapy finish. Crown valley’s beer have been hit or miss and this is a miss. Very light all around with no pronounced hoppyness you expect in an IPA.

12 oz purchased at Gomers Kansas. Pour is a slight haze golden with a pure white two inch head. Aroma is hay, herbal, and a twinge of lemon citrus. Taste is sweet herbal, grassy malt and some additional sweet caramel malt. The aftertaste reintroduces the herbal / mineral element. Palate is medium bodied, coats the mouth a bit, then cleans with good carbonation. Overall, nice fresh local Pils.

12 oz bottle drank at the 810 Zone Leawood, KS. Pour is a clear amber with a two inch off white head. Aroma is mild resin hop, followed by a light citrus and some earthy mineral malt. Nice nose, though a bit subdued. Taste is the resin hop from the nose, balanced with the earthy caramel malt. Nice, though again, a bit dull. Palate is thin to medium, a bit low on the carbonation even a touch watery.

Pour is a dark amber with a large tan head. Aroma is dark fruit with a helping of brown sugar. Flavor is lots of candi sugar and toffee with some more fruityness toward the end. Finish leaves a little roasted malt behind. I’m not sure about this being a dubble but its a decent Belgian ale made here in Missouri.

Tinny malt nose. Clear copper. The flavor is of unroasted malt and smoke, the latter hangs around for a while. I tend to prefer the lighter smoked beers as opposed to a smoked doppelbock or porter, so this was nice.

Diacetyl and cherry aroma. Clear copper, thin head. Tea and cherry flavor. Perfumey. Not a good Dubbel.

Poured from 12 oz bottle. Aroma smells like pure malt extract, nothing more and nothing less. Appearance wise, it’s a clear copper with a thicker than usual head. Taste wise, it’s like a mixture of malted barley and some type of preservative, almost like a toast beer with strawberry jam. It’s not horrible but not great.

Pour is clear blond with a small white head. Aroma is a decent clove and banana. Flavor is a little watery with some lemon zest and dry malts. Nothing really great but drinkable.

Pour is a clear brown with a large tan head. Aroma is a thin roasted grain and some dark malts. Flavor is a little better with more of a chocolate malt coming through. Still this is a pretty poor porter. Very thin and watery.

12 oz bottle shared by csbosox. Pour is clear golden ruby with a one inch active off white head. Aroma is a foul, plastic sort of garbage thing. Beyond that, a bit of sweet malt. Taste is less offensive, with just the sweetish malt with the sourish taste - weird, kinda off putting. Palate was medium bodied, a bit on the oily side. Based on other reviews, this may have been a less then perfect bottle. Thanks Chris?
