Logs for beers from this brewery

I don’t have it to compare but this tastes suspiciously like the Moment of Zen from earlier today.
Extremely fragrant, floral. A funky cereal finish that is lightly sweet but also a little musty.
Bottle at A house in Rowland Heights, CA
A bit spicy sweet. Sweet smoke on top. May be trying too hard to be "holiday."
Bubblegum, pine, lemon. A bit simply sweet. Perfumy.
Banana clove. Slightly smoky. Sweet wheat finish.
A clean kolsch, slightly cloudy in flavor. Hints of banana and sweet cereal.
Fairly smooth strong stout. After a flight of somewhat off beers this one hit the spot just fine. My favorite of the night by a fair margin.
Amazing smell, which is basically exactly like opening a pack of Reese's peanut butter cups. A very mild, creamy porter makes for a great base for the peanut butter flavor, which is a very good balance of chocolate, salt, sweet, and peanut. The finish might be a tad gritty, or maybe that's just my imagination? Still, yum.
Bottle at Xbeer One
Beautiful red-amber color. Crisp, good amount of carbonation, lightly malty aftertaste. Surprising amount of bitterness for a red ale. Perfect for a hot day.
Draft at Dos Coyotes, Davis
