Logs for beers from this brewery

Really interesting on-the-verge-of-sour lager. Apple, Graham cracker, some funk. Cereal aftertaste. Would have guessed wheat ale, with pilsner not even being near the top of the list.
Classic citrus-hazy profile, very mellow follow-through. Not at all oily or unpleasant.
Light fruit, bright, slightly buttery. Flavor is good but empty in the middle, almost vaporous. Somewhat acrid, uric finish.
Whiskey forward. Light cream stout flavor, hints of cacao and coffee but also a base tartness that comes to be the primary characteristic of the beer. Definitely strong.
Extremely carbonated, faintly sweet, otherwise a mix of toasted malts, subtle acidity, and a background of cloudy duck. Sort of somewhere between an Irish red and an Oktoberfest.
Draft
Light, citrus, tropical, very hazy. Juicy but not bitter, finishes clean.
Intensely bright and hoppy flavors on top of a chocolatey roast malt. Finishes quite bitter. Something tells me someone who’s into this style would dig it; for me it’s a bit too hoppy.
Lightly sweet, bright raspberry flavors, not tart at all, tempered a bit by a dry funk that immediately follows. Doesn’t finish tacky, exactly, but it’s not clean either.
Sweet amber, more malty than hoppy, with an herbal, ginger-root finish. As seems typical for ginger brews, the hops and ginger kind of meld into each other, and the otherwise uncomplicated flavor is a bit insipid. Probably wouldn't order this again.
Fruity and refreshing with some Belgian yeast flavors.
Reading my previous description, somehow everything is accurate except this time I thought it was really nice. Maybe I've just gotten a bit more expansive in my tastes since then.
Caramel toffee brown with a light, nutty flavor. Thin, cola-like mouthfeel, with a touch of drying sourness. The bourbon is clear, but not overwhelming, and the beer goes down very easy.
This didn't exactly meld together. Ringing tartness from the blood orange without any other real fruit body lingers separately - and in parallel - with the oncoming wheat funk and sweetish wit finish. I just ended up feeling confused for a while.
Slight soapy sudsy smell which carries over to the starting taste. Transitions to fizzy mango-tinted body. Very light mango finish.
Bottle
Bottle at Copalis Beach, WA
On its own, it's a little malt-rich (but thankfully not sweet), but it balances the food at Din Tai Fung (for which it's made) beautifully. Grassy and dry open with a medium-bitter finish.
Bottle at Design Dev Lounge
Slightly tangy mid drink. Finishes full that toasty stout flavor and something else. It's pleasant.
Smooth, roasty oatmeal stout, coffee-like, mild wood character but no overt Bourbon in the flavor. Bitter finish.
