ebone1988	2.9 Mountain Town Crazy Train Black IPA Bottle from Merchants. Aroma is earthy hop, floral, pine, bug spray, some licorice, roasted malt, simple. Appearance is dark brown, light tan head, opaque. Taste is roasted malt, licorice, earthy hop, floral, harsh, pine. Mouthfeel is light to medium body, light carbonation, pine roasted malt aftertaste.

Panzuriel	3.2 Mountain Town Lazy River Appearance: Hazy pale amber. Tiny ring of tiny white bubbles. Nose: Light sweet malts with a bitter, funky and tart edge. Taste: Fruity with definite lighter sweet notes. A bit tart like a sour but not quite all the way there. Body: Light bodied. Fluid with soft carbonation. Parting thoughts: An unhoped ancient style beer using a herb blend to add bitterness. A new one to me. Recommended by the waitress at Union woodshop, this was definitely unique.

cheap	2.5 Mountain Town Gambler's Golden Ale Got this bottle from a cheese place in frankenmuth. Smells like good ol' lager beer, good ol' fresh lager beer, quite nice. Taste tho, you immediately know this is an ale, has a couple negative ale attributes from the first taste. Mellows out in the middle, starts to settle down to a decent golden, but perhaps not, blonde ale. Simple and easy, it hides its alky content well. Not bad for what it is, but it lacks the civility of a basic blondie. Thursday, November 2, 2017
cheap	2.6 Mountain Town Railyard Raspberry Wheat Bottle from the cheese place in frankenmuth; $3.50. Odd I hvae to pay a stupid deposit for this stupid bottle. The gov't, they'll figger out anything to get money from you. Smell certainly raspberry mild aroma. Taste is somewhat raspberry. Sweeter than expected but not as sweet to make it pleasant. Tuesday, October 31, 2017
cheap	2.6 Mountain Town Wit Dream Bottle from a little cheese place in frakemnuth, quite expensive. Funny name huh? Git it? W?t dream? heheheh. Although there is sediment on the bottom, it pours fairly clear, then a few drops of dregs in the last of the pour. Perhaps you could say its a witbier color but I'd say its a little more yeller. Yea, there's some wheat effects but its nit hefe, its your typical wheat ale. Sometimes I wonder why we do spices in beer, how about just plain old beer? Can't really find the orange peel in thar but the spices are quite a apparent. Pretty good co2. Yes its spiced like a hefe but tastes like yer contemporary medicinal wheat ale. Not a witbier, not a hefe, think wheat ale. Monday, October 30, 2017
rumproasts	3.2 Mountain Town Oktoberfest bottle. amber with one finger head. caramel malt, slight grass and grain. underhopped. pretty dull attempt at the style, IMO. Saturday, October 14, 2017
b3shine	3 Mountain Town River Bend Bock Draft to taster. Looks solid; a transparent caramelish orange with white head that steadily dissipates into lacing. Smells malty with notes of caramel and bit of lager yeast. Tastes like it smells with some toffee too. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied. Inoffensive, but underwhelming. Saturday, October 7, 2017

stoutgap	3 Mountain Town Steam Engine Stout Bottle to glass,pours a ruby to black color with a small rapidly diminishing light tan head.a malty nose of chocolate,bread,and roast.Sweet and a little thin. This is a stout that I would not pour out but I sure would not go looking for it. Thursday, August 17, 2017
GIJOE	3.3 Mountain Town Hobo's Brown Ale 12 oz bottle from Jimmie's in Alpena. Pours dark like a coke with crazy foam. Took me 5 minutes to pour it and I probably slurped a third of the beer in foam. Foamy head remained until the beer was gone and is probably still floating somewhere down the drain. Nose is malty. Taste follows suit but has a pleasant hop bite. Nice brew. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Wednesday, July 26, 2017

Msdrbeat	3 Mountain Town Steam Engine Stout Bottled. Pours dark with a slightly off-whit head. Aroma is slightly sweet and malty. Rich but lots of a nutty and roasty character which off-sets any sweetness. Wednesday, March 1, 2017

rocketship	4.7 Mountain Town Love Potion Holy wow! This is a unique beer. poured a copper/ruby color with a small head that dissipates pretty quick, but sticks to the glass. Aroma is light with a big dose of herbal tones. sweet. Lots going on in the flavor but it all melds together very well. Juniper maybe? can’t really describe the other flavors. Unique, but good! Overall really light and drinkable. If the effects they say it has on you work, this is one I’m going to come back for! Tuesday, February 14, 2017
rocketship	4.2 Mountain Town Nite Train On tap at the taproom. Pours dark as expected with a small tan colored head that sticks to the glass throughout. Aroma a little subtle compared to taste. Slight roast and touch of sweet. Big dark roasted coffee flavor jumps out of the gate. Then slides back into sweet dark cocoa and Pomegranate (?!) Ends clean and dry with slight lingering malt flavor. Recommend Tuesday, February 14, 2017
Strangebrewer	3.7 Mountain Town the Henry Ford Old Liz Amber Ale bottle. Poured clear auburn with a creamy tan head. Sweet malty, slight tart aroma.

Ahuth	2.9 Mountain Town Iron Horse IPA Bottle. Pours Amber brown. To be fair mine has wheat floaters in it. However the palate is light and crisp. The taste is light. Citrus. Below average. Tuesday, December 27, 2016
Msdrbeat	3.4 Mountain Town Trainwreck Ale Bottled. Pours a slightly hazy amber. Aroma is mostly malt sweetness. Hop bitterness overpowers the front end before fading to smooth bitterness with some sweet. Sunday, November 20, 2016
Dogbrick	3.3 Mountain Town Oktoberfest Sample at Bridge Street Tap Room. This brew pours a clear copper-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Grainy malt, fruit and slight hops in the nose. Medium body with a malty character and notes of grassy hops and fruit. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall. Wednesday, October 26, 2016

rosenbergh	3.3 Mountain Town Peach Gruit 12 oz bottle. (Econo Foods) Marquette, MI. Slightly cloudy deep orange golden color with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet peach, mild bitterness and some tart notes. The flavor is yeast, bitterness, peach, alcohol and sweet malt. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Friday, September 23, 2016
rosenbergh	2.9 Mountain Town Crazy Train Black IPA 12 oz bottle. (Meijer) Kalamazoo, MI. Dark reddish brown color with a small tan head. Coffee, fruits... a lot of fruits. And some alcohol in the aroma. The flavor is... a mixture of different kind of flavors. There is roasted malt, cough drops, medicine notes, dry hops and some bitterness. If I would know better this could be alright. Saturday, September 17, 2016
rondphoto	2.4 Mountain Town Peach Gruit bottle @ Chief Market / Lima OH --- Aroma of peach juice and light malt. Hazy Medium peach amber color, off-white head that drops to a thin cover, a couple of lace swirls. Taste is perplexing - this is mostly about peach and apricot, with only a small nod to malt and hops. I could place this in the shandy category, but, even there, it isn’t a close fit. Personally, it is cloying and full of sweet fruit, like adding sugar to a glass of lemonade, which isn’t appealing to me Overall, below average, at best. Monday, September 12, 2016
