A blonde ale with a very thin white head. Again, a very german charcter, in terms of hops and light caramel notes. In mouth, a very crisp and grainy malt, good german hops...a german pils on steroids, well balanced...where’s the lemon...On tap at brewpub, July 31, 2009.

A golden kolsch with a very thin white head. A rather lager chalky malt aroma. In mouth, very mineral and crisp malt with German hops. Not that skinny for a light (although I later found that skinny atlas is the correct pronunciation of Skaneateles, which means Long Lake in Iroquois). On tap at brewpub, July 31, 2009.
