Pruney and dark, the opening resembles port or brandy rather than bourbon, but you get the latter about halfway through and then a sweet, liquor finish. Tacky finish, definitely strong.

Extremely pungent, resinous, dry, woody. There are times when I appreciate a beer like this but I kind of wanted something drinkable?

Surprisngly simple for a Deschutes barrel-aged beer - but maybe that's just in comparison to the Baptista. I t's somewhat thin in mouthfeel with a sweet but not syrupy liquor-forward flavor. Some high-key bitterness in the finish.

You get a hit of that mezcal right up front - smoke, a little brine. This is otherwise a balanced stout, not too sweet, a bit tacky on the finish, with a mellow vanilla-chocolate flavor that results in a long finish. Strong!

Sweet coffee, not syrupy, a decent amount of pumpkin spice, but also a very vegetal component that might be the coffee bean, or maybe the pumpkin. Nice to taste real flavors though.

A nice Oktoberfest, sweet, a bit metallic, but there’s a juicy hop sheen that is a little off for me.

It's fine.

Bitter and effervescent

Not as awesome as I hoped, but fine.

Both a dry lager and a mildly sweet pumpkin ale, cola-like, lightly spiced. Very drinkable.

Indeterminate sour flavor, mellowed with buttery funk. But really nice.

Extreme strawberry jam character, with a tart finish. Has some funk but is primarily fruity. This all leads to a pleasing opening that becomes a bit hard to endure through an entire pint.

Sweet but drying, cloudy, cereal, brackish finish. This isn’t toasty, and the color is light to match - a wiesn maybe?

Quite nice - comes across more in the Kolsch camp than IPA. It's fragrant but not overly fruity; there's a lager-like turn to the flavor that finishes slightly uric. I liked it.

Very delicious. Not too sweet, just a hint of maple, a nut-butter overtone. You can definitely feel the strength over time but it's balanced, not over-the-top.

Blueberry-forward, slight butter-bitter funk. Evocative of pie.

Mellow sweet grapefruit, slightly herbal finish.

Definitely a Bavarian flavor profile, but decidedly less sweet (watery?) than expected.

Vinous, ultra-dry, apple-grape, butter-bitter finish. Just exactly the right amount of funk. Gorgeous beer.

Like an extra strong version of the Icicle Helles I had earlier today but with a touch more banana. Finishes dry, bitter, tacky.

Grassy, lightly sweet, somewhat buttery/tacky/metallic, it's been a while but I wouldn't be surprised if this was fairly similar to the Hofbräu Original Lager.

I admire that Urban Family is always around to do offbeat sours. This is characterisitically tart but otherwise light and festive. Not sure if there's anything specifically pumpkiny about this but the pie spice is light but present.

Bracing; clean; fragrant. Piney without any other over-the-top qualities. This was great!

There’s something really off-putting about the fragrance of this beer, it’s like vegetal and herbal and sour and bitter like a sanitary puck. Flavor-wise it’s … fine? Pine-lemon, acrid bitterness. But I can’t not smell it.

Banana, slightly smoky, sweet finish. Nice example of the style.

Lemon-pine, thin up front like a soda. Finishes more Pilsner-like, brackish, grassy.

Extremely sweet if not syrupy, but ironically, tastes like syrup. Bit of burnt sugar, caramel. The syrup character is so accurate that it feels tackled on, surely these didn’t ferment with the beer?

Spiced, dark, caramel. It’s a lot drier than I expected, finishes like dried stone fruit. Thin in body.

Lightly sweet, lightly smoky. Definitely less smoke than other rauchbiers I’ve recently had.

Don’t know if this was mislabeled but it felt way less than the listed 12.3%. There was, however, a bit of whisky on the nose. Fruity, mildly sweet ale.

Extremely creamy pour. Lightly sweet, caramel cream ale with just a hint of cold fizz at the end. Perfect for what I wanted.

Pine-lemon IPA with a cloudy flavor and mellow finish. Bought it because of the name; worked better than the Redhook IMO.

Peach, lemon, very mellow, surprisingly unbitter. Kind of found myself actually wanting this to be more of a hop bomb.

Pineapple-forward, juicy, slightly tangy going to a high herbal bitterness. Clean finish.

Orange, hop oil, intensely fruity aftertaste.

Orange, hop oil, intensely fruity aftertaste.

Started off great, a little murky, dark citrus, smooth finish. By the end though I felt like I was sucking on grapefruit rind.

Not that different from the Fresh Bois, a little more lemon, more bitter, uric tackiness. Pretty good but love the can.

Fragrant of melon, lightly sweet. Other than that, a bit like a malt soda, I could hardly detect alcohol.

Orange-forward and very not-bitter. Slightly drying finish with not much cereal at all.

Definitely a beer in the lemon-pine strata-sphere. But very good example of that. If I have any complaints it's that it's overwhelmingly in the juicy-fruity arena with not much counterbalance

It's deifnitely spice-heavy, so if that's not what you like about pumpkin beers you might want to avoid. But it does seem balanced by the overall strength of this beer for me. This might appeal more if you're in the mood for a spiced liquor rather than a beer though.

A much better experience than the Evasion. Bright, only a hint of orange, lots of banana, finishes spicy. Kind of wish there was a stronger orange quality but at least this tastes like a beer.

Only learned after the fact that this is a gluten-free brewery. Maybe that's why it's missing any trace at all of cereal? Starts with a perfumey orange-flavor, a little candy-like, and then proceeds straight into bitter oils. Did not like.

A nice, earthy coffee flavor up-front followed by caramel. I don't really like how this finishes though, very tacky and a bit metallic-tart.
