Tap at Brewery Creek. Filtered orange-tan with a steady thin white head. Full sweet malt body, more like a Belgian Golden Ale than a Wit. Quite a well executed beer, just not to style. Smooth, rich golden malt. Clean, no off flavors.

Tap at Brewery Creek. Deep burgundy brown. Thin, glass lacing off-white head. Mellow/absent carbonation, true to it’s English style I guess. Sweet amber malt and chocolate tones. Caramel, toffee. cookie dough, brown chocolate. Quite easy drinking and enjoyable.

Draft at BC. Far and away the best BC beer Ive tried. Hazy dulled orange-tan, thin off-white head. Sweet banana clove tastes, a touch of lemon. Classic Bavarian wheat flavor. Medium bodied, quite refreshing. The yeast is quite forgiving, but this is a solid beer.

A golden amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a strong woody malt, with weird solvent notes, alcohol warmth. In mouth, a woody scotch malt with light maple and vanilla notes, some light wood barrel, interesting. On tap at Istmus Beer and Cheese Fest, Jan 21 2012.

Draft at Brewery Creek. Filtered yellow tan, huge head. Ugly infected, buttery aroma. Brewery Creek is an official loser brewery in my book, this being their flagship of shame. Quite horrible, even lacks any semblance of noble hop character. Bad. BAd. BAD. Stunningly horrible.

Draft at Brewery Creek. Hazy orange-brown color. Thin off white head. Buttery aroma..uh oh. Off flavors dominate, Ill bet this is how 17th century beer tasted sometimes. Embarrassingly buttery and infected. Minimal soapy hop tones cant hope to balance the offness. Quite bad.

Draft at Brewery Creek. Deep reddish black with a big creamy beige head. Roasty chocolate aroma. A pretty solid porter, really does manage to have a Scottish feel to it. Mellow, creamy carbonation, with some silky chocolate tones. A touch watery and insipid, but it works well with the mossy roastiness. Mellow, but good enough, some UK character.

Draft at Brewery Creek. Filtered brown-orange with a thin, oily head. Balanced, with some thick malt tones. The hops are steady and soapy, seems like they have aged and mellowed. Buttery, toffee tones..infection. Off, maybe like fining gone wrong. Hard to tell if it was intentionally odd or just bad, until the next few of their beers..

I don’t understand Krisallweizen, or as I think of it, Hefeweizen light. There is a light wheat aroma, yeast, some banana, and clove. The flavors are all there but too light. Thanks for sharing, Skyview.
