16oz can. Sweet for the style. Sort of cheesy candy fruit flavors. Easy enough drinking, OK for what it is I suppose.

16oz can. Opaque orang-tan, true look. Steady white head. More El Dorado than Nelson but the Nelson comes out some as it warms, breathes. Other than that pretty straighforward, mellow orange juice notes, mild tropical white grape. OK.

Really nice combination. Brown ale maintains, vanilla smooths it out, pleasant okay edges, mild bourbon. Unique, good.

16oz can. Has the unfortunate overly sweet body of a hazy, but lacks the juicy, tropical hop tone that can make it work. Maybe it is supposed to be a classical IIPA, but just didn't escape hazy sensibilities. A decent enough beer overall, just not that exciting.

16oz can. Attractive copper-amber body, clean and transparent. Thin, fading, off-white head. Rich malts, deep caramel, touches of amber malt perhaps. A classical US Oktoberfest, rich and malty, on the cusp of full bodied. Really nice malt depth. Tasty.

16oz can. Pretty enjoyable fruit extract comboI suppose. Pretty straight up flavored kettle sour. Good flavors, perhaps the mango brings it down a little. Well executed for what it is.

Clear tan body. Steady white head. Great balance, bready malts, delicate noble hops. Soft, medium body. Good stuff.

Nicely and hazy again, a little brother to the One Key, Many Doors.. Presents thin ring of foam leaving more legs. Grass and horseblanket nose is in just the right spot. Same impression in the taste, with a side of lemon peel. Sets up nicely and finishes as expected.

Draft at Skeleton Kay. Nose is very subdued. Almost smells just like a bottled water. Slightly cloudy brass color. A bit of lace up the sides. A nice light beer taste. American wheat ale for the most part, and then the note of orange peel.
