Small Town Not Your Father's Ginger Ale
Old Untappd checkin, February 3, 2016. Brown glass bottle. The ginger beer flavor is there but is a little too sweet for my tastes, would prefer more ginger burn and less of a "ginger ale" flavor.

Small Town Not Your Father's Lemonade
Bottle. Pours a cloudy dirty water color with virtually no head or retention. No lacing. Smells like lemon soda. Tastes like sweet lemon soda too. The 5.0% ABV is completely invisible. Hi carbonation, crisp mouthfeel. There is zero beer flavor here. Pure alco-pop. Tastes great if you want lemon soda.

Small Town Not Your Father's Vanilla Cream Ale
Found out of bottle. Pours is a bit hazy with light coloring. Aroma is hints of vanilla. The flavor is lacking and below average for the style. It just drops off.

Small Town Not Your Father's Vanilla Cream Ale
How could I look at this bottle and not see it was 4.1 alky? No kidding, its right on the front of the label but I was ignoring that and trying to see the fine black print. Got this one at wegman's chitauqua. Smells much like cream soda and it looks like cream soda in a glass. Taste is in yer face cream soda, over the top that is. Look, I've had cream soda, and like it, but this stuff immediately comes across as too syrupy sugary, way more so than real cream soda. Hey dudette, if you ease up on the sugar, it may be a little more enjoyable. As is, its almost cloying, so unnatural. Yes, those cloying sensations irritate me and hang with me after each slug, whew. Difficultly sweet. Even a little weird, to be kind. Yes, not sure how this could be a beer, its certainly more like one of those happy bullshit artificial soda pop malt drinks, just like pop. How comes those beers can't beer rated here? And why is this 'beer' ratable here? Just asking. This stuff? Forgettahbouttit, I gottah go reddup. Very bad, unrepeatable. Almost drain pour. Sickening sweet. Is not beer. Should have passed this tic by but now I see another flavor in my fridge, oh my!

Small Town Not Your Father's Ginger Ale
An interesting idea that could have been better executed. The flavor is mostly sweet ginger ale with a little molasses or dark syrup of some kind. The alcohol is totally masked. Aroma of soy oil, fresh paint, and bean cakes.

Small Town Not Your Father's Vanilla Cream Ale
Bottle at the Well. Pours clear yellow golden cream color. White head. Aroma is tons of sickly sweet syrup, very medicinal cream soda. Flavor is similar. Wow that is medicinal and cloying. Flavor is better than nose. That aroma is offensive.

Tastes like a ginger ale too heavy on the sugar syrup with a sort of fakeness/chemical to it. Not great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Small Town Not Your Mom's Apple Pie (10%)
Last beer of the day on 10th Dec 2017. 12 Fl oz bottle of 5.5% ABV. Pours a clean golden colour, the wispy head soon left to leave a bald glass of liquid. Austrian Apple Strudel in the nose and taste, cinnamon to the fore with raisins and apples not far behind. Exceedingly sweet throughout, it really is an Apple Pie of a beer.

Thus is pretty terrible. Flavor is somewhat of ginger ale, but also flat and sweet and gross.

Smells like a vanilla cream ale. Looks like a flat soda. Flavor is pretty close to a cream ale, so too sweet for a beer. Eh.

Small Town Not Your Father's Ginger Ale
12 oz. bottle. Pours clear, pale, and fizzy, with a pretty big, bubbly, white head that dissipates immediately. The aroma is ginger and cane sugar, with some dust and pine. Sweet and sugary, with no bitter or tart flavors. Light body, syrupy, and sharp. This is amazingly like ginger ale. Tasty and enjoyable.

Small Town Not Your Father's Mountain Ale (10%)
Bottle from Smith's. Pours hazy Mountain Dew color with min head. Tastes like a slightly boozy Mountain Dew. I found this one to be very refreshing, but it is more like a cooler than a beer, so keep that in mind. Then again, if you are drinking this, you already know that.

Small Town Dirty Brown Ale
Draft. Brown pour. This is one of thier few "beers" and it is one of their better offerings overall, extremely non-descript for a brown all, missing most of the hallmark characteristics, it is bland but drinkable.

Excellent cream soda smell, taste is much more like double bubble though...with a hint of cough syrup which dissipates quickly..almost too sweet...maybe dial it back a smidge...some complexity... unique...but like drinking bubblegum juice
