Good NEIPA, bright and juicy on the front end with loads of grapefruit, peach, pineapple, and mandarin, followed up by a mild earthy note in the middle and grainy malt sweetness on the back end. Nice pint for a sunny Leap Day afternoon.

Yeasty as all hell, with a tart sourdough/lemon undertone out of place in the style. Mild notes of caramel, toast, and apple, but any goodness is undercut by the yeast. Rough going.

A lovely little malt bomb, full of biscuit, toasted bread, and caramel, underlined by red apple, brown sugar, and a gentle but firm floral bitterness on the back end. Creamy texture is oh-so-easy to drink. Surprised at how good a beer this pint is.

Enjoyable Helles lager, no more, no less, with an opening shot of sweet grain and cracker followed by apple and lemon notes and a mild floral hop bite on the finish. White bread and grain in the fade. Solid pint.

Standard, inoffensive IPA, very old-school in its profile, the type of IPA you'd find in brewpubs back when IPAs weren't the dominant cash cow of the industry. Malt-forward, with a heavy honey-caramel wort-like sweetness. Orange-pine hops add a pleasant, bracing bitterness, but on the whole the pint seems clunky and somewhat of an afterthought.

Straightforward, easy-drinking hefeweizen, hitting all the notes you want from the style. Brisk carbonation, bananas and cloves followed by citrus and white bread, a slight grassy-floral flourish on the back end, and a lingering yeasty fade. Tasty.

Very coffee-forward, but not so much it loses the cocoa-caramel notes of the porter. Java roastiness provides a wonderful bitter fade laced with coffee cherries and chocolate. I feel like I could drink this beer all evening. Nice.

Shockingly good pils, crisp and bright, offering a mild cracker-ish base underneath lovely grass and grain notes and a citrus undercurrent. Finishes dry with a lingering herbal hop bite and a clean, yeast-tinged finish. Nothing flashy, nothing revolutionary, but a damn fine version of the style. Don't know much about this brewery (yet), but they nailed this pint.

Straightforward Americanized alt, a caramel-slathered toasted biscuit with a slight doughy undertone laced with apple and grain. Finishes with a healthy floral bitterness and a mild but lingering sweet note. Nothing groundbreaking, but well-made and very drinkable.
