Birdland Red-Footed Booby
Can bought at the Brewery. Poured a light golden with a tiny head that dissipated. A tartness to the aroma. The flavor is of wheat and tart raspberry.

Birdland Blue Jay IPA
I chugged a can of this on the back nine at Buttonwood. I got a little buzz for acouple holes. Helped my tee shot, but not my putting. It was all right.

Birdland Blue Jay IPA
I agree with rating before about old school, metallic, not great. Nose is decent, but the metallic notes (beyond german hops metallic) ruins this for me. Rerating a bit later. As it warmed, the hops became more expressive in the taste, piney, resinous, blasting dry. Starting to grow on me, not that I’d order it again, but bumping.

Pretty solid. The blueberry was a nice accent that made this a bit different and enjoyable. Creamy, chocolaty, nice. Thanks for the trade Ron.

Birdland Hazelnut Stout
On tap at the Brewery with Dan and Erica. Suprised the brewers did not have info for this on their website. 35 people have reviewed it untappd already. Brown pour with thin tan head. Good aroma of hazelnuts.(Erica liked that alot) Nutty flavor, but it had a thin body for a stout. Nice tasting.

Birdland Blue Jay IPA
1/29/17. Thanks, Garrison! Orange pour under a small khaki head. Okay aroma, definitely old school, mostly popping malty, very little touch of citrus and pine, seems a little harsh/abrasive. Pretty bad on the flavor - metallic, bitter, floral, malty... not good.

Thanks Danny! Not bad. Has a little bit of a banana fruit smoothie taste. Tad cloying. Booze decently well hid.

Thanks Danny! Little bit too harsh of an IPA. Malty, boozy, hops are bitter without much balance. Eh.

A golden ipa with a very thin off white head. In aroma, sweet butterscotch malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, a sweet buttery caramel malt with light British hops, light mineral notes, OK. On tap at CNY Brewfest 2016.

(draft @ AJ’s Beer Warehouse - Rochester, NY) Copper pour with a thin white head. Slightly sweet apple-like aroma with maybe some cinnamon? Flavor is very odd. Slightly astringent with fake apple and cinnamon candy notes. Didn’t quite know what to make of it.

Amber-brown in color with a cream colored here. Good mix og nutty and malty flavors with a bit of hop as well. Solid enough, and plenty drinkable as well.

Dark brown in color with a brown head. This is kind of a unique idea and one I thought worked fairly well. The blueberry is subtle enough to add a nice component without harming the overall composition of the beer.

(draft @ AJ’s Beer Warehouse - Rochester, NY) Cloudy gold color with a thin white head. Raspberry tartness and dry wheat aroma. Flavor is dry wheat, some light spice and a nice natural raspberry tartness with a little sweetness. Very slight banana hint at the finish. Refreshing.

On tap at AJ’s. Nice dark pour with a average tan head. Aroma of malty grains and chocolate. Chocolate stands out with maybe a tiny bit of blueberry. Nice malty porter. 4-20-17 went to the Brewery with Dan and Erica. Very enjoyable on tap.

(draft @ AJ’s Beer Warehouse - Rochester, NY) Clear gold pour with a thin white head. Mild malt aroma with some very light hops. Flavor is very well balanced. Lightly sweet malts with light grassy hops. Smooth and clean and good for a few on a warm day.

draft at Blue Monk. Creamy black body. pretty big blueberry presence in the nose and flavor. chocolate flavor is a bit more powerful than the blueberry but the berries add an unique flavor. enjoyable

(bottle - tap filled bomber) Dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Light chocolate aroma with a very nice blueberry aroma underneath. Surprisingly mild flavor. Some light blueberry hints with more of a roasted chocolate and coffee flavor overpowering it. Clean aftertaste. Wish it had a touch more blueberry.

Multiple samples @ Empire Brew Fest. Aroma has some floral hops and malt playing in the background. Flavor is much the same, more malt in the flavor then hop. Very light flavor, light body with high carbonation. Watery texture. I tried two samples and just wasn’t feeling this at all. Perhaps I had too many other beers and simply couldn’t get this nuance of this brew. Don’t know.

Growler from the taproom. Pours a ruby cola color with minimal head. Decent roasty and coffee aromas in the nose. Taste is a nice light roast along with a heavier dose of coffee. Average carbonation, light mouthfeel. Pretty standard stout, the only exception is the nice coffee note which leads to a bitter lasting finish. Nice.
