Cold on tap: Pours a clear dark orange color with a small off-white head. Sweet malts, grass, flowers and smoky notes. Watery texture and smooth with low carbonation. Ending is of sweet malts.

Dark clear color that was, as the commercial description says, "mild". It did have a nice malty flavor but everything about it was mild.

Dark amber, thinnish. Deeply malty, with a surpisingly crisp spicy hop close. Not earthy enough to be an Irish ale, compared to some midwestern classics, I think, but not boring like many ambers - quite soothing. Session for sure. Tree bark elements, but not pine. Flavors are complex for a 4.6% beer.

Light amber ale. Very sweet and flowery aroma. The flavor isn't all that bad, but the malt seems to take a back seat to the hops.

Ruby amber hue. Sticky beige-ish head. Sweet, floral, fruit, pefumey nose. Starts sweet, ruby red grapefruit, medium bodied, nicely balanced, grapefruit pine needle finish. Pleasantly bitter, finishing crispo and cleano. HAHA...Not too shabby for a beer from these folks.
