Ron	3.4 Custom Brewcrafters Funky Monkey Tropic Haze IPA Series - Batch #003 Ca. Poured a very hazy/murky golden color with a thin ring head. Aromas of mixed fruit and pine.

jb	3.2 Custom Brewcrafters Funky Monkey Hazy IPA Series - Batch #002 on tap at the lilac festival. Not sure what to make of this style, light, easy going, not chunky or really that hazy, doing little to nothing to remind me of a milkshake. Drinkable though. Sunday, May 26, 2019

jb	3.3 Custom Brewcrafters West is Best Didn't exactly seem like a beer embodying the west coast spirit, yeah it was hoppy dry and clear, but had surprising malty notes. Decent enough, probably not worth trying again though. Friday, July 20, 2018

ben4321	3.1 Custom Brewcrafters White Fox 12 oz bottle from Wegmans - Ithaca. Unclear pour with a small, sheeting white head. Lots of spice, coriander, and wheat. Yeast. Something a hint artificial. Decent wheat beer. Not much else to say here. Monday, August 14, 2017
HogTownHarry	2.5 Custom Brewcrafters Signature Series Cassie Belgian-Style Black Currant Ale January 21, 2014 - with blankboy, jercraigs & mabel - bomber. Reddish gold - bubbly and clear, smallish off-white head. Smells like a crappy pale lager with some added fruit - grainy, generic, vaguely fruity. Tastes like a berry shandy - tart, but in a bad way - ick. Light body, still, acidic, mounting unpleasantness; not horrific, but not good at all - hint of rhubarb in the aftertaste which I assume shouldn’t be there. Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Braudog	3.3 Custom Brewcrafters Caged Alpha Monkey Bottle, thanks to my bud "Bags" ... Aged bronze color, virtually no head. The aroma is woodsy and earthen.
