Deep Creek Brewing Company Reviews

floydian1	3.3 Deep Creek Holy Cow India Pale Ale 440ml can from First Choice Liquor. It's a decent enough US-style IPA with prominent resinous and citrusy hops on the nose and tongue. Lean malt bill. Medium body and carbonation. Clear golden appearance, medium-sized white head. Thursday, June 7, 2018
kidobutai	2.8 Deep Creek Angry Clown Brown Ale Poured from a tap into a tasting glass at the Oceana Beer Festival. Okay head and good lacing, creamy. Nice malts, toasted caramel notes. Saturday, October 15, 2016
Cunningham	3.6 Deep Creek White Dog Wheat Backlog: Bottle in Chicago. Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Wheat and citric nose. Flavour where also lots of wheat and moderate citrus. Fresh and nice beer Friday, October 28, 2011
hopscotch	3.3 Deep Creek Storm Peak Stout Pitch black with a very thick, creamy, well-tanned head. Terrific retention and great cumulus lacework. The nose is of chocolate, vanilla, cashews and cinnamon. The flavor is burnt and well-balanced, but sort of thin, much like an American Guinness. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and light carbonation. Lengthy, lightly bitter, bone-dry, grassy finish. Sunday, October 24, 2004
hopscotch	3 Deep Creek This Aint Yo Mamas Lager The brewer left the brewery before this one was named. The staff named it and apparently no one currently at the lodge knows how to carbonate. No deduction of points for the beer’s flatness. It’s like a cask conditioned lager(?). I’m not a big fan of cask conditioned ales, so I’ll rate this one like I do the ales... pretending they are supposed to be flat and boring. Sorry CAMRA. Murky, caramel colored lager. Nice, malty, fruity aroma... caramel, pomegranate, raspberry, straw and very light chocolate. The flavor is moderately bitter with balancing malt. Medium to full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Lengthy, tangy, bitter, dry finish. Sunday, October 24, 2004
hopscotch	3.6 Deep Creek Retro P Porter Extremely dark, crystal clear, cola-colored ale with a tiny, creamy, well-tanned head. The aroma is very milk chocolatey, smokey and nutty, with notes of coffee and vanilla. The flavor pretty much matches the aroma. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Lengthy, mocha, burnt finish. Sunday, September 5, 2004
hopscotch	4.1 Deep Creek Angry Clown Brown Ale This beer rocks! A great brown ale! Sparkling clear, brand-spanking-new-penny copper ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Excellent retention with cumulus lacework. Nutty, smoky, chocolatey aroma and flavor. Perfectly balanced. Light-bodied with a very creamy mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Short, lightly bitter finish. World class beer! Sunday, September 5, 2004
hopscotch	3.6 Deep Creek Bear Claw ESB Crystal clear, copper ale... like a shiny, new penny. Mid-sized, creamy, off-white head with ink-blot lacing. The nose and flavor deliver notes of toffee, butter and a hint of brown sugar. Well-hopped. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Very nice for the style. Sunday, September 5, 2004
hopscotch	3.8 Deep Creek Dauphine Street Dunkel Weizen Murky, dark amber lager with a large, fizzy, off-white head. Typical banana and clove in the aroma along with some light chocolate and dark fruit. The flavor is well-balanced and tangy. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, crisp, tangy finish. Sunday, September 5, 2004
hopscotch	2.9 Deep Creek Holy Cow India Pale Ale Crystal clear, golden ale with a huge, frothy, white head. Very cool cumulus and stratus lacework. Citrusy, piney aroma. More-than-moderately bitter flavor. Tastes like pink grapefruit rind. Medium-bodied with an astringent mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter finish. The bitterness borders on being unpleasant. No character... just carelessly hopped. Still, a must try for hopheads who really like the bite of the Galena. Sunday, September 5, 2004
hopscotch	3.4 Deep Creek White Dog Wheat Hazy, straw-colored lager with a mid-sized, fizzy, white head. The nose is a bit yeasty/soapy and citrusy. Very refreshing flavor, but a tad thin. Nicely hopped... just a touch on the bitter side. Citrus and floral flavors. Light-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, crisp, clean finish. Very refreshing Summer brew! Sunday, September 5, 2004
colbyt	4.2 Deep Creek Dauphine Street Dunkel Weizen The banana and clove flavor and aroma is the first thing that stikes you (German yeast strain typical of dunkelweizens used). One will also notice the heavy malt flavor compared to the light hopping. This beer has a complex taste and is very different. Definetly one to try. Tuesday, August 10, 2004
zach8270	3 Deep Creek Red Head Rye [draft - 10th Annual PA Microbrewers Fest, Pennsylvania Brewing Co. - Pittsburgh, PA] Poured a dark amber hue with a thin off-white head. Slightly citrusy aroma underneath a good malt base. Initial malt taste with a hint of oranges near the end that gave it a nice touch of sweet. Crisp and refreshing finish. Sunday, June 6, 2004
Drew	3.8 Deep Creek Holy Cow India Pale Ale Hoppy sweet and floral aromas. Lighter gold color, good lacing. Sweet and fruity malts mixed with an almost assertive pine hop. Very smooth body with a nice crisp finish. Could drink a few of these without being overwhelmed. (Tasted at the PA Microbrewer Fest) Sunday, June 6, 2004
Drew	3.7 Deep Creek White Dog Wheat From the appearance (white/gold, hazy, fluffy head and lacing) and the aroma (herbal, clove), I would’ve guessed it was a Wit? Palate was very soft and smooth, not thick, but full of flavor. Lemon, banana, fruity, cloves; this was a really good summer beer! Sunday, June 6, 2004
zach8270	3.2 Deep Creek Youghiogheny Red [draft - 10th Annual PA Microbrewers Fest, Pennsylvania Brewing Co. - Pittsburgh, PA] Poured a deep, dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Semi-sweet and citrusy aroma. Initial flavor was a good blast of malt with a sweet backbone and a creamy balanced finish. A tad on the watery side, but not too much so, and very clean and bitter-free finish. Saturday, June 5, 2004
Ladyhedgehog	3.3 Deep Creek Holy Cow India Pale Ale Pale goldish wheat in color with a small head. Tastes of hops and barley and hops and water. It was a little too weak and a little too bitter for me, althoug overall, I liked it alright. And I love the logo. Thursday, June 3, 2004
Holdwine	3.3 Deep Creek Angry Clown Brown Ale A decent brown, although a little watery and I missed the "smooth balanced hop finish". Otherwise- nice ruddish brown color, tasty oaky malt. Monday, May 10, 2004
LordHedgehog	4 Deep Creek Angry Clown Brown Ale This red muddy brown ale had a loose but lingering head. The aroma was that of a nice smooth nut brown ale, and the taste didn’t disappoint. Woody and complex, worth sinking your teeth into. Sunday, May 9, 2004
hopscotch	3.5 Deep Creek Youghiogheny Red Crystal clear, deep amber ale with a whispy, off-white head and sparse lacing. Fruity, citrusy aroma with notes of toffee. Well-bittered, malty flavor with blasts of caramel and grapefruit. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Thursday, April 1, 2004
hopscotch	3.4 Deep Creek Golden Ale Crystal clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy white head. The aroma is fresh and grainy. Smells like simmering mash. Lots of aromatic pale malt and light, earthy hallertau hops. Rich, malty flavor with perfect balance. Medium-bodied despite the low ABV. Oily mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Lengthy, smooth, strawy finish. Me likes! Thursday, April 1, 2004
Nuffield	3.2 Deep Creek Devils Drop Doppelbock Clear, reddish color. Starts very nice, malty, with a silk palate, though it ends less satisfyingly with some unexpected flavors. Still, decent. (on tap, Pennsylvania Microbrewers Fest 2003) Wednesday, June 11, 2003
Nuffield	2.6 Deep Creek Youghiogheny Red Very typical beer. Good head. Very mild with a bitter, uneasy finish. (on tap, Pennsylvania Microbrewers Fest 2003) Tuesday, June 10, 2003
ravidesai	2.7 Deep Creek Youghiogheny Red dark amber, copper color with a big head. aroma of bread and trace of hops. taste was disapointing with a thin maltiness and some hops. Sunday, June 8, 2003
dolemike1	3 Deep Creek Chomplys Porter A slightly flavorful porter. Light bodied, some burnt chocolate flavor. Drinkable yet not outstanding. Sunday, September 29, 2002
dolemike1	2.7 Deep Creek Holy Cow India Pale Ale another one i would rather forget. Slightly better than their Youghiogheny red. Not much goin for it. Average. Watery. Boring. Sunday, September 29, 2002
dolemike1	2.6 Deep Creek Youghiogheny Red Nice try. Light on hops and malts. Watery. Looked better than it tasted. Eminently forgettable. Sunday, September 29, 2002
Holdwine	3.1 Deep Creek Youghiogheny Red Dark for an amber, but a good attempt. Nice use of malt, very light on the hops. Starts with a decent head and average nose. Goes down easy. Just a tad watery. Wednesday, August 28, 2002
Holdwine	3.2 Deep Creek Golden Ale Their best brew, according to the bartender. Nice hops. Better than most "golden ales", actually has a little complexity. Easy start and finish, a good drinking beer Wednesday, June 26, 2002
CrumpyC99	3.8 Deep Creek Golden Ale Starts smooth, light aftertaste, Hops tingle the tongue nicely. Very nice. . Tuesday, October 9, 2001
jstu9	2.2 Deep Creek Big Bear Stout This is a stout with a weird taste, not really a "normal stout" but with a nice aroma. Saturday, June 2, 2001
jstu9	1.7 Deep Creek Monks Retreat Not a pleasant aroma........................................................ Saturday, June 2, 2001
