Klamath Basin Backroad Vanilla Porter
From bottle to glass. Pours deep brown with small brown head. Flavor is moderately rich malt, chocolate and sweetness from the vanilla. Thin mouthfeel but overall not too bad.

Klamath Basin Buxom Blonde
A slightly better than average blonde. Crisp and clean with light floral notes, and just a touch of heft.

Klamath Basin Kristal
Clear gold pour at the source. Surprisingly not boring! Banana and clove come through more than most filtered wheats, light and crisp, but still a pleasant enough surprise.

Klamath Basin Notch Eight IPA
Clear golden orange. A little thicker and more resinous, but malt and spice takwe away a little from the hops. OK.

Klamath Basin Cascadian Dark Ale
Tap at the source. Described as their "darkest" beer, even though it's brown and they had two porters and an imperial stout that were way darker :) Good nose, roast, bitter hops, pine, though a touch harsher on the palate.

Klamath Basin 18th Anniversary Stout

Klamath Basin Tahazed and Confused
Hazy orange pour at the source. Fresh keg was SUPER fruity, almost likejuicy fruit gum, though the end of the previous keg was more complex/bitter/slightly less juice. Still, easily their best.

Klamath Basin Buxom Blonde
Keg at Ice Axe, Government Camp, OR on 09/09/2009. Full and more boozy than your average golden ale; this was still malt heavy and only light peppery hops on the nose. Interesting.

Klamath Basin Bare Island Blonde Ale
Bottle labelled simply "Blonde", no Bare Island. Still 4.2%, so I assume it's the same one. Clear light golden color. Little to no head. Light crisp body with light malty sweetness and spice. Kinda flat on the finish. Meh.

Klamath Basin Dog Days Wheat IPA
Bottle:   Dark straw, moderate froty white head, spotty lacing.   Dank nose, a little sweaty, slight overcooked vegetable (thankfully its minor), with a smidgen of hops and wheatiness on the nose.   Better on the tongue, sweeter than the nose suggested, albeit hops are subdued.   Feels a bit wheatish, but even that is light.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Clean finish, a little crisp, but too light on the wheatiness and too light on the hops.   Very soft example, but still OK.

Klamath Basin River Days Wheat IPA
22 oz bottle poured. To add to the style debate, I think this is more of an IPA than a wheat ale. Golden orange pour, bright, hazy. Patchy foam head. Subtle hops on the nose. Cream body, cool melon, wheat obvious, but a decent hop profile to sit on top. Cool wheat constant makes this a refreshing drink. Good flavor. Good balance. A wheat IPA done well in my opinion.

Klamath Basin Notch Eight IPA
22 oz bottle poured. A clean, darker orange pour. A ton of loose foam head. Piney, bitter impression hop aroma. Flavor is a sweet caramel malt, rich, bitter citrus hop underneath, and viciously metallic in the later palate. A bit out of balance for my taste. Too sweet. Too malty. Metallic notes are offputting. Has some decent qualities, but otherwise a miss for me. Adding to the retry file.

Klamath Basin Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stout
Bottle, as Klamath Basin Fifteenth Anniversary Stout
Black color, small head. Mild wood aroma. Lean body, not strong enough, mildly sweet, some dark caramel with a hint of cocoa and wood.
Simplistic but not bad.

Klamath Basin River Days Wheat IPA
Bottle in Seattle. Soapy white cream, hazy orange wheaty body. Light hops, odd balance of wheat and creamy malt. Light fruitiness, light hop bitterness. This isnt bad, but I agree its confused. Creamy wheat flavor with some spices, but has some dry astringent hops underneath. Fair.
