Logs for beers from this brewery

Very hoppy for the style, tastes more like a west coast pale. Not what I wanted. Then again, what was I expecting from a Costco beer?
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Definitely the blandest of the three dunkelweizens, this was a slightly watery beer with a lot of banana flavor. This was the only one with a noticeable clove character as well. Still, not bad for a supermarket brand.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Sweet and a tangy bready.
Draft at SJC Gordon Biersch
Tangy bitter finish. Spongy cereal body.
Bottle
Part of a flight. Malty, toffee-coffee overtones, and strong. I can't honestly remember any more about it!
Part of a flight. Porter-like lager with a coffee-like, faintly smoky flavor. Light and very pleasant.
Part of a flight. Smells sweet, with an unusual kind of toasty, chalky flavor that I found somewhat unpleasant. The finish was kind of shallow from a malt perspective, which completed the disappointment.
Part of a flight. I'm not sure where they get off calling this a Czech Pilsner - there's way too much citrus hop perfume and no detectable grassiness. Maybe you could call this a Common. Bitter and spicy and lingering.
Part of a flight. Smells like clove candy, and tastes, well, holy banana, Batman. Proceeds immediately into an unexpectedly dry, tart finish, which seemed out of balance.
Clean, crisp malt flavor with more of that enjoyable funky tang than I expected. My favorite of the flight.
