Like Aurelius said, mine was a clear bright gold so I wonder if this might be a crystal weizen. Not that it matters. Its yeasty and brightly phenolic, with plenty of clove and a bit of banana. Normally I hate overly phenolic beers but I felt this was well balanced with a zesty wheatiness.

Maybe a stab at Iron City clone? I could see it. Very pale, and very light. There's just a hint of diacetyl in this though, so not a clean lager. I could drink this more, would drink esp if they cleaned up the diaqetyl, but it remains a pretty neutral beer, but sometimes that's just the thing. Do I detect a very mild spicy hop?

Golden to amber, nice head. Touch of chill haze. Big citrus nose leans orange rind heavy. Also real fresh tangerine notes. Very nice hop profile in the flavor too - citrus and resin. Bready malts. Clean fermentation. Semi dry finish and a medium level of bitterness. Just a really good IPA, especially for sitting outside the brewpub on a warmish summer afternoon while a light rain falls around you.

Draft at the brewpub, served in a dimpled mug. Brownish with smallish khaki head. Nose leans caramel and melanoidins. Clean and sweet nose, a wee hint of cocoa powder is in there too, Flavor leans more heavy on the chocolate. Semi-dry, surprisingly. Its quite drinkable. Mild bitterness is a little more than you'd expect for a bock. But generally its a really good beer.

Pretty nice hoppy blonde, almost lagerish in profile. Semi-dry light malts, with vague fruitiness to go with a citrus hop nose. Really very good.

Pretty similar to the regular sourmanjaro but the cab chips add some extra funk that increase the overall level of sourness. Just as with the regular one, the coffee presence retains its distinct presence, and the flavor of the cabernet chips is also present in a distinct way (taste of oaky cabernet). By distinct I mean that each flavor seems to sit beside the others, they don't blend, but each is discernible from the others. Also a little cardboardy at finish.

Pretty weird, but it actually sorta works. It has a clean crisp overall tartness, with a nice light body. The coffee is present as a distinct element in both the aroma and flavor, it's a strange presence, but it doesn't clash.

Draft sampler at the 2022 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thick white head. Strong peanut butter aroma. Initial peanut butter flavor, followed by a sour jelly-like finish. Not very beer-ish. Certainly different, but a tad too sour for my palate.

Draft sampler at the 2022 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a white head. Strong hoppy aroma. Not much of a hazy IPA. Very little juicy flavor here. Way too hoppy for my tastes.

Draft sampler at the 2022 Rocky Water Brew Fest. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Smooth and nutty. A good, middle of the road nutty brown ale.
