Light, refreshing, somewhere between a pretzel-like toasty flavor and sweet-ish cereal. Another high-quality lager from Chuckanut.

I remember this being pretty good? Maybe? I remember at least thinking that Chuckanut's a better brewery than Northwest.

Just the platonic ideal of what I want in a Kolsch.

Too sweet

An unusual mix of flavors here, like a helles lager crossed with a Belgian pale. Lots of estery banana flavors and even a hint of spice. Pale gold in color. Finishes with a cloudy yeastiness. This isn't what I would call a typical fest bier but it was pretty fascinating.

Rounded lightly hoppy amber with a malty cereal backbone. It's been a long time since I had one but the first thing that came to mind was an amped up Sam Adams. It was fine, but kind of non-descript and in a style that is not a favorite.

Rich, campfire smokiness. Sweetish, malty lager.

Malty but somehow pretty dry and a touch boozy. I mean, it wasn't bad... This tasted like a grown-up beer, but it wasn't as purely enjoyable as some of Chuckanut's other beers.

A little less overtly enjoyable than I remember; maybe because the growler wasn't fresh? It was still good though.

Possibly my favorite in a flight that was uniformly excellent. Light wood smoke opens, with a not-at-all-sour, subtly-chocolate porter finish. Chuckanut definitely seems to be expert at getting clean finishes in all of their beers, and this is one of the cleanest. Bought a squealer for work.

Notwithstanding "Chuckanut Schwarzbier" being the most suggestive phrase I've read in a while, this is a light, dark lager with forward coffee notes and a mellow, lactic finish. No tackiness from that, just cream (ugh, that sounds dirty again). A fantastic schwarzbier.

Doppel the bock in this flight! Nearly identical to the 2017, as one might expect, although it does have a sharper edge to it.

Molasses / gingerbread dark yeast flavors, light, cola like body and a luscious, smooth finish. Nothing pokes out in any way. It's not as profound or as fruity as something like an Aventinus, but it's definitely delicous.

Biscuity, mellow, lots of caramel. Hops on the grassy side and significant, but not unpleasant. Another really good beer from Chuckanut, who apparently can do no wrong?

A really tasty beer, definitely more of a richly-flavored Helles lager than a marzen. Pours clear and gold.

My taste buds are shot, unfortunately. I only taste yeasty water.

Dark with just a hint of plum. Smooth and even flavor, but it doesn't really have any other notes.

I don't usually like weizenbocks that much, but this was quite good.

My previous review for this beer was quite underwhelming. I liked it a lot this time, though. Crisp, cereal-strong amber lager with a tang that is a bit uric, a bit apple-y. Slightly funky but not too much.

Lightly flavored lager with an American pilsner character. The smoke is light but pokes through in a lingering aftertaste, reminding me of something like a Laphroaig. I know Francis couldn't taste any smoke, but I definitely got it, and solidly.

Another delicious lager from Chuckanut. I guess this one was made for Tom Douglas? Sweet cereal malt, slightly buttery, very clean. Best of all, went great with the pizza.

Bitterness at the forefront this time.

Absolutely delicious Kölsch, with a hit of pilsner like bitterness and a strong, cracker-like cereal malt. Hints of yeast, but at first impression, I'd say this swings more towards the pils end. Super-crisp.

Great biscuit maltiness and body and a crisp finish

Every time I have a pilsner craving, I am always disappointed and head back to stouts. This beer on the other hand made me glad I got a pilsner.

Slightly fruity malt lead, transforming into a nice saaz finish, a bit of lingeringing bitterness. Cereal flavors on the finish.

Very solid, robust, roasty basically-a-stout beer with a date-cake-like molasses flavor that gets better over time. It's nothing earth-shattering, but it was tasty.

This starts out bitter, but fades into a full bready flavor only slightly bitter. It doesn't have the extreme clarity of a Czech pilsner.

Slightly breadier than my memory. Still good, but not as crisp.

Fine pilsner

Just about ideal German-style pilsner. Good cereal, slight grass, nice tang. Effervescent. Still as good as I remember!

Nice cereal body and slightly musty finish but the sweet cereal continues.

Part of a flight. Whoa HOPS. Lots of bitter, citrus, floral hops in this guy -- which is to say, not more than your average West Coast-y pale, but a crapload for something you'd call a "Vienna Lager." So, no.

Sweet and malty, like an Oktoberfest, with a toasty lactic finish to give it that "dunkel" character. I liked that it had more body than other schwarzbiers I've had lately.

Thin sweetish cereal body with mild finish. Banana-funk touch on finish.

Crisp, funky (but not too much!), tasty lager.
