My palate is in a different place today. Mostly this is the same but instead of ginger it tastes more genetically rooty and maybe I’m imagining it, but more of a briny flavor.
Clean, tart pomegranate flavor with just a bit of funk and cereal sweetness in the end. This is in contrast to the blood orange sour which was really musty up front.
Caramel and mellow up front but has a bracing grassy bitterness. I think I might slightly prefer it with coffee but it’s very nice.
Light and sweet, with a creamy overtone. Might be a but under-bodied but I find it really drinkable.
Lemony and pungent, although it finishes quite clean. There’s a medicinal quality to the aftertaste.
They've renamed this beer so I don't know if they've reformulated it. It's a pleasant, lightly sweet caramel ale without much character, and I definitely don't taste anything that makes me think of pecans, pie or otherwise.
Grassy lager, only slightly sweet. Czech-like at first, but the cereal lingers on in the aftertaste. Brackish finish.
Touch of caramel, dark bread, but not really sweeter than the Lawn. Really do like this.
Oh yeah, this Rauch is a mouthful of campfire. Woodsmoke on top of a base which is (understandably) similar to the Lawn. I think this brewery may be a winner, folks (at least for Euro lagers!).
Malty-sweet, prickly, with the most naked hop character, rounded, sap-like. Tastes festive but this is my least favorite of the bunch.
Ginger-forward here, giving this a very cola-like quality. Tastes a lot like what I'd imagine a coconut Coca-Cola to taste like, but (of course) as a beer. Pretty nice, if a bit gimmicky.
Cola-like spice and mouthfeel; coffee, light notes of ginger. Finish is sweet-ish, somewhere between the coffee ESB and the rye. Not sure I"m connecting with it, but it is unique.
Caramel, slightly medicinal with notes of licorice and caraway (?). Sweet finish that tastes slightly like the vapor off of a cough drop.
Curious to try the base beer. This is nice, if a little dominated by the coffee. Unsweet, slightly tangy, dry finish. Solidly drinkable.
Bitter up-front, lightly brackish. Slight notes of apple with a cereal finish. Uric. I like this one quite a lot!
Dry, darkly fruity and vinous. Grape/currant. Very much like a lightly carbonated wine. I like this very much.
Lighter than I expected. Very chocolate, touch of cinnamon. I guess I can see marshmallow int he follow-on sweetness, but it's more of an overtone that lingers after the flavor.
Hoppy, spicy dark amber with sweet caramel, chocolate notes. Prickly on top with a lasting roast bitterness. Not sure how this relates to the Industrial IPA.
Somewhat spicy up front but there’s a lot more hop oil than I expected. It coats the tongue, a little too dank to be crisp.
It's kinda thin. A little more like a pale. There is a bit of fruit character, but .
. Almost meh? I guess it's better than meh, but there are better options out there.
It's pretty good. Like a mixture of an IPA and a Weissbier
I can’t detect cinnamon today. A caramel, malty lager with some fruitiness. Smoothed out around the edges but fairly flavorful.
Lightly sweet, nutty, and like, really bitter? I don't know if my palate was burnt out, but this did not taste like my memory of this beer.
Creamy coffee, prickly carbonation. Somewhat high roast, and more than a little hop, resulting in a quite bitter finish. It's fine!
Intensely hoppy, piney, alcohol-sweet. Leaves the tongue very dry.
The primary distinction after the Baja lager is that this sweet. A bit simpler in flavor, not surprising for a Märzenbier. Grassy finish, lingering bitterness.
Easy-drinking adjunct lager, reminiscent of corn chips and salt. Good depth of flavor. Long cereal finish.
Creamy, coffee, roast. I have been assured that this is not the same beer as the Knotted Porter.
Crisp, caramel, sweet, significant roast bitterness. The smoke is an undertone, but a nice one. This isn’t a campfire.
Just a hint of sesame in the initial nose. This is really nice, subtle spices and caramel mellowness followed by candi sweetness. Way more balanced than the cinnamon ale, which I felt I should mention given the similar description.
Lightly sweet, caramel. There’s definitely cinnamon, but there’s also seems to be more holiday spices in the flavor profile. Bitter on the finish to remind you this is a beer.
Sweet and tacky with a spicy nutmeg overtone. Plummy. Lots of backend bitterness.
They called this summery (perfect for December), and it pretty much was. A clear, bright witbier with a light banana flavor before the fresh, cloudy, watermelon flavor starts coming through. Did not taste candy-like, although the watermelon did recede over time.
Roast, chocolate, strong alpha hop bitterness that lingers. Something a little burnt as well.
Fizzy, spice-forward. More caramel than roast, the impression is almost like a root beer.
A generally-mild tasting IPA with a very pungent apricot/resin nose and finish. Definitely gives the impression of an oily aromatic layer coating the surface of the beer.
Orange grapefruit, thick, opaque, extremely juicy. Oily bitterness on the backend but finishes clean.
Sweet caramel Scotch ale. Lightly fruity, bitter finish.
