Logs for beers from this brewery

Super-fake orange creamsicle flavor tacked onto a light golden ale. Smells like candy. At first I was hoping it would actually taste like orange instead of nondescript citrus notes, but this is certainly too far in the other direction.
On nitro, the deep roast is at the forefront, smoky and a bit sharp. With the nitro-malt sweetness the effect is almost like hints of peat whiskey on top of a chocolatey dark stout. I can't say I've ever had a lager on nitro before, and this may not be not super lager-like, but it was quite good.
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Dumped most of it. There's flavors there, but none that I want to drink.
Can at Pool
Floral hops on top of a nicely malted body, easy to drink with that hop flavor.
Can at Home
Awesome beer, amazing that there's this much flavor on only 4.2%. Roasted malt, caramel and chocolate but very easy drinking, not too heavy.
Can at Pool
Roasted malts, lighter bodied, some coffee but too sweet
Can at Home
Caramel and toffee flavors, slightly sweet finish
Can at Home
Medium bodied, malt notes lead with some fruit on the backend. Bitter finish. Not a ton of hop flavor buy certainly bitter.
Can at Pool
Sweeter with a lot of bottle conditioned style carbonation. Hints of apple? Clean finish.
Sweeter pils with some grassy hints and a bitter finish.
I just got a ton of prickly hop spiciness and bitterness with this, and nothing else. Maybe my palate was out of whack. I'd give it another chance given the opportunity.
I'll be logging the occasional long-lost beer based on photos I'm recovering.
Can at Home
I've liked this by itself in the past, but it definitely doesn't stand up to being in the middle of a group of heavier beers.
Can at Xbeer One
Fizzy on the tongue with a nice lagery, malt sweetness.

This is the first India Pale Lager that I've felt didn't taste just like an IPA, so I'll give it points for that. That said, I liked the sweet, biscuity, malty finish, but it didn't mesh well with the strikingly bitter hoppiness. Hello, headache! I didn't finish the can.
Can at Home
Indistinguishable from a decent, run-of-the-mill stout. Reminded me of Dragonstooth, roasty but light-bodied. I guess I was hoping for something more unusual, given the the lager-i-ness.

Can't decide whether this is good. Have a feeling it's trying to be too many things to do any one well.
Can at Karthik's
Darkest lager I've ever had.
Bottle at Chez Tik
Nutty, coffee flavor with a hint of molasses sweetness. Light body, slightly bitter, funky finish but without the lactic thickness of other recent dark lagers.
Can at Home
Smells grassy, but seems overly malted, with a cloying finish. I'd go for the Havanüther over this, every time.
Slight soapy funk to smell. Golden cereal taste with some sour bitter to the back side.
Slightly funky smell. Slight sour tongue and mild tangy finish.
Yum, this is exactly what I want in a lager - clean, funky, tangy and malty.
Grassy with some sharp lager hop bitterness and a decent amount of malt. Amber still seems a little indifferent to me as a lager style, but it hit a lot of what I look for in a lager these days.
