Pour is a dark red with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of piney hops and chewy crystal malts. Flavor is again a decent floral hop with a nice earthy and caramel malt that is more dry than sweet. Finish leaves more of the malt along with a nice bitterness. Decent hop to malt ratio makes this quite flavorful.

Pour is a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is a nice clean fresh hop. Very aromatic and fruity. Flavor is a nice herbal hop with some notes of wintergreen along with some fresh squeezed lime juice. Finish is clean and dry which cleans the palate for the next sip. This is a tasty pale ale. The malt is there just to give this some body allowing the hops to be the dominate flavor throughout.

Sampled from the bottle. Pours a hazy amber copper with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of earthy grain and bread with some pumpkin, spice and tequila underlying. Flavor has notes of sweet grain and pumpkin with bread and tequila supporting.

Pour is a clear blond with a large white head. Aroma is of bready pils malt and a minor fruity almost berry hop. Flavor is again a fine dry pils malt but not much more beyond that. It has no harsh or off flavors its just a bit too watery and I did not get anything from the hops. This beer needed a few more additions to the recipe and they could have had something here.

Pour is a clear yellow lager with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is a very minor smoke with some cracker malt. Flavor is more of a meaty smoke but not much after that. A bit watery and not a huge smoke but if your looking for a smoked beer to see if you want more this is one to try first. Won’t really need this again.
