Logs for beers from this brewery

Unpleasantly sour, like a dry export stout but with a more lasting, tacky finish. The real crime, however, is that this doesn't even pretend to taste like cookies. Or even chocolate.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Slightly sweet, slightly bitter. Can certainly taste the mango, but it's well balanced.
This is... pretty much exactly what it says it is. It's a light, sweet-malt lager, nothing complicated in the base profile. On top of that is a pretty accurate Meyer Lemon sheen that is more essential oil than juicy. Starts citrus, flips over a citrus peel bitterness into bright lager flavors.
Can at Home
Hmm..something tasted off this time. A bit more malty than I remembered. My tastes may have changed.
Bottle
Sharp and bitter, almost undrinkable at first. But if you sip it slowly over a long periods of time, it becomes more bearable.
Bottle at Work
Decent, if maybe generic, lager with some noticeable bitterness.
Bottle at Home
Fragrant and hoppy at first but finishes off with a chewy, bready (but not sweet!) malt finish. If you'd told me this was an IPA at the time I would absolutely not have believed you, but everything's always a little different with Anchor.
Good grain flavor and a bit of spicy hopping. The best of a rather weak beer selection hit the spot.
Draft at Burlingame, CA
Bottle at Friday Harbor, WA
Dry, strong banana and clove at the forefront, smells rustic, goes well with seasoned food.
