Bottle. Made by my college roomate’s brother-in-law, so I hope its good. Pous a slightly hazy deep-copper/amber color with a small white head. Not much hops in the aroma, more malt than anything else. The taste is pretty sweet with not much hops or bitterness. Needs more hops to balance the sweetness. Finishes slightly sweet and bitter. OK beer.

Pours a cloudy coppery red with a foamy white head that stays on the glass. Smells like roasted barley and caramel malts. Thick on the tongue with just a hint of hops. Unexpectedly underhopped, but pretty tasty.

Coppery color that reminded me of maple syrup. Hoppy smell and not much head. Bitter. As soon as I swallowed the taste was gone.

Dark copper color with a bitter (on the mild side) taste. Semi-fizzy mouthfeel with a lingering coated bitterness.

Pours average brown with a tiny white head. Earthy hop aroma. Taste is low malt and slight earthy hops. Sweet finish. This beer is very drinkable, just nothing stands out to make it that good.

Decent frothy head. Creamy on top. Light carbonation. Weak aroma with some malts, roasted grains and some kind of vegetable water. Color is a dark amber/brown. Flavor is thin and metallic. Little roasted grains and a bit of sweetness. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. An ok but bland pale ale.

Amber colored with aroma of fruity hops, malt, and spicy fruit. Tastes hoppy and citrusy, with a smooth finish.

Nice clear red with with an off-white head. Floral hops and caramel in the nose. Flavor has notes of toasty malts, toffee, floral hops, grapefruit and citrus. Moderately bitter aftertaste. Medium body with lively carbonation. Good head retention, some lacing left on the glass. Decent stuff.
