Logs for beers from this brewery

Very tart, but clean. Passion fruit forward. Puckery.
I admire that Urban Family is always around to do offbeat sours. This is characterisitically tart but otherwise light and festive. Not sure if there's anything specifically pumpkiny about this but the pie spice is light but present.
Resolves with sweet cereal, although there are more up-front flavors than I expected: a little fruity, hops, yeasty funk. Altogether I felt this could have been cleaner.
Pineapple soda.
Bottle at Home
The taste of sweet, good coffee.
Tart but clean, and packed with pleasing blueberry flavor. The acid is more like lemon juice than vinegar.
This is, if nothing else, an extremely accurately described beer. You can taste the individual elements of pineapple, orange, and coconut quite clearly. It's just not that enjoyable to drink.
Kind of the polar opposite of the Fresh Fluff: This is vegetal, herbaceous, and finishes super bitter. Leaves the tongue a little prickly. Did not like.
Just sour enough, clean fruit, very peachy. Finishes extremely cleanly.
Sweet cereal, lightly fruity; grassy bitterness that OSS on the edge of bracing but feels good. My taste buds may be affected after two other beers though.
Can especially taste the orange and pineapple; the sourness is more like a concentrated, tart juice than anything complex. That said, this is pretty tasty with tasty flavors,
Manages to be bright and earthy at the same time, has that blackberry murk up front cut by fizzy lemon notes.
Fruit candy-forward flavor, reminds me of a honey cough drop. Medium tart, wheat funk, soda-like. Pretty good.
Super-dark head and lacing. This was a remarkably redolent of cacao, pungent actually. Sweet and liqueur-like. Reminded me of the Berserker, a beer I haven't had in a very long time.
Bright, fizzy pale ale, seemed unusually prickly/spicy, which was a nice surprise. I was well into a hearty meal by this point so I'm not entirely sure I can trust my flavor notes, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Sweet with a hint of cinnamon, reminds me of a holiday stout except I totally wasn’t expecting it. Unfair minus, maybe, but it was a minus.
Bottle
Smooth-drinking, slightly sweet golden ale. Lots of cereal, fizzy, delicious.
Bit of a funk in the smell and middle of taste, nothing atrocious but I'm not crazy about it either. At least it's light in body.
Can
Light and crisp. The dragonfruit and raspberry flavors are present and not overdone.
Can
Sweet, light, nutty, pretty well balanced
Draft
Hazy, guava/grapefruit hazy pale. Somewhat raw hop bitterness. Not nearly as refined as the IPA the others were having.
This is basically a raspberry drinking vinegar. A lot much to take.
Tart, intensely peachy, pie spice. Interesting overtone of wood smoke.
I... don't remember anything about this, sorry. It's been too long. I rated it then, so I trust that, but also there was no way this was going to win out vs the banana coconut Dragon's Milk for a full pour.
Sweetish grapefruit IPA. Not super-remarkable, but pretty pleasant.
Quite tart, very fruity. Slight salt in the aftertaste. Pretty good but also like a lot of other beers out there.
Dry berry flavor counters the hoppy, base IPA. It's a good balance. But nothing will overcome my natural distaste for boysenberries.
Sweet citrus IPA. On the edge of too fake, although there was something candy-like and appealing about the flavor. Lemonheads. This beer tasted like Lemonheads.
First splash of this seemed very sweet, but subsequent sips not so much. Tropical citrus IPA, very milky in clarity. Not too bitter, but definitely has some resin in its backbone.
Meh. Sour. Citric acid and no character. Split the bottle and quarter of it is still in the fridge. Nuff said.
Bottle at Home
A pale, tropical IPA that would otherwise be on the pithy side but is smoothed out with clear, mellow, buttery coconut. It's really weird, but I love coconut and this is fascinating.
Smells of piney hops and Muscat grape juice. Puckeringly sour, intensely grapey in flavor, bordering on fake Japanese grape candy flavor. Still appealing, but somewhat out of balance. Less sourness would have helped.
Slightly tart, slightly funky saison. There's a metallic quality to the sourness. The flavor is light, and at first you might think it's a bit watery. I think it's just that the tartness is a little unassertive.
This has been classified as an IPA, but I'd put it more in the saison category as far as the overall flavor goes. Opens with an almost-perfume-like lime essence. No overt cream in the flavor, although the finish is probably smoother for it. As it warmed up the flavors got a lot less fake-ish.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Wonderful orange notes on the nose. Very grapefruit on the front with a yeasty bitter finish.
Perfect mix of sour and sweetness. Finishes sweet. Really enjoyed this.
Bottle
Refreshing dry, hoppy pale ale with a mellow wheatiness. I don't know if it was the sun or the World Cup but it really hit the right notes today.
