Taster at Clarion River. Clear golden, cloudy, flat. Aroma is lemons, lactose comes in the taste to help temper the tart lemon. Seems thin.

Taster at Clarion River. Amber pour, wispy head. Malty aroma, toasty. Taste is toasted malts, dry, tapering off to nothing.

Yes, somewhat on style for an IPA but it has this overly rude astringent bitter bite that makes it so difficult to consume. Has a nose of mild lime. Astringent untamed palate. Rude and crude but is that not to style? Another terribly on style ubiquitous IPA.

Tap at source. Mild aroma of permanent hair treatment. Pale yellow. Mild yet has some of that dry astringent bitter bite to it. Yes, at this visit, many of their beers seem to have that astringent bite all across the board. Otherwise easy going and not bad in the end. Just not sure if its civilized enough to be a golden ale.

Tap at source. Looks like a cloudy hefe alright. Mild fruity nose. A tad sharp on the astringent bitterness but not as apparent as all the original yeasty biys. Decent & mild overall. Somewhat easy to take in the end. Yes, some fruit in there but you need to look for it. At least the strawberry does not come across artificial like so many other strawberry brews.

Tap at source. Big and black. Mild sweet banana nose, quite attractive before the taste. A little astringent up front on the tongue. Yes, just a little medicinal and astringent. That is the overwhelming effects. Does have notes of decent roasty stout in the finish. Difficult at the beginning but a little better in the end.

Tap source. Starts off with a super noticeable dry astringent bite. Many of these CR brews this time all have it, I hope its just a recent batch thing. The astringent bite certainly is not on style. Difficult, need some civility to be anything like the old country ESB's.

Tap at source. Big & dark brown. Mild roasty attractive nase. Nice lacing as well. First impression is off astringent bite, and a little unpleasant. Rude clear to the end, has the same astingentness as many of the beers here I've had today. Needs to be taught some manners to be a decent brown ale, but I guess its somewhat acceptable. JMHO.

Tap at source. Smells like fresh beer. Lighter iced tea color. Astringent sharp bitter bite from start to end. Makes this somewhat dry and unpleasant. Needs more manners, not to sure whats up with this. Many rude APA characteristics. Perhaps just an off batch?

Listed as Yeastie Boys on their menu. Tap source. Cloudy yellow. Lemony nose. Not much hefe attributes in this one. Lots of unexpected bitter astrigents sharpness clear tot hefinish. Decent co2. More like a ruder wheat ale.
