May 22, 2002 Updated: Mar 14, 2003I've had this beer from two different batches and both were completely different. The first batch, it was a nice alt -- clean, crisp, nice malty undertones, medium bitterness, very drinkable. The second batch, it was a little funky, yeasty, not at all clean and crisp, cloudy, and malty. I"ll give it the benefit of the doubt and base my numerical ratings on the first batch. I"d definitely try it again, simply because the first batch was quite nice. Hopefully the second batch just tasted funky because of infection or process problems and not because they changed the recipe.
Update 3/14/2003: Third batch I've drank from. This one is good again. Quite crisp. Nice underlying bitterness although a bit subdued. I'd be happy to see this a bit maltier with a bit more bitterness but it's nice.

Mar 23, 2003 Tap. Hazy dark amber color. A very crisp wheat yeasty type flavor. Some little hop addition.

Sep 25, 2002 Over carbonated and pretty watery. Not a rich flavor at all. Needs lots of work. Cool pub but I got my hopes up too much.

Jul 31, 2006 Deep red with a nice smell of hops. Decent amber. Like the fact they use local everything for their beer. Nice place, but small. Parking a BIG problem. Had to park 1/2 mile away to get there. The area is not good. Wouldn’t go at night.
