Logs for beers from this brewery

Light citrus with medium finish. Nothing spectacular but well executed
Light citrus with medium finish. Nothing spectacular but well executed
Wanted to try a house beer. Coffee, vanilla, thick, only lightly sweet, but with a heck of a lot of roast bitterness that builds and builds and makes it hard to enjoy more than a taste of this beer.
Draft at Crave Fishbar, New York
Sour. I didn't much like the original Brunch Weasel, but I'm absolutely sure I like this one less.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
If this is a pilsner at heart, either the tartness of the blood orange or some dry hopping have masked it considerably. A tart-resinous flavor with just a hint of finishing cereal and funk. Crisp, this isn't, but in a different mood this could have been a lot more successful for me. OBVIOUSLY the can art is excellent.
Kind of a mild combination of sour and bitter, which perhaps makes sense for a mild fruit like watermelon.
On the dark side for an old ale, with many similar characteristics to the Enegren. Still, this was a bit roastier, bitter, toffee-like, so it was a little harder to enjoy at the end of a night of drinking.
There's a sweetness in the scent. The flavor is a hard caramel, like a bourbon barrel aged beer .I think others would appreciate this more than I.
Dry, lambicky, curly sour beer. Beet is there but more like a faint overtone than a dominant flavor, due to the sharp tartness and funk. Good but I'll stick with the small pour.
You can tell from the smell that this beer is not as advertised. This is another IPL in disguise, with a slightly toasted barley character that is overwhelmed by what tastes like hop syrup. Concentrated resin and a thick, bitter finish, and more than a little metallic.
Can at Home
Tastes like a wood fireplace crossed with a touch of sweet coffee. A little too much smoke for me -- either it needed some more thickness or less of the wood.
Syrupy-thick, with an umami pungency and sweetness standing in for coffee.
In a word: Amazing. So crisp and smooth, this would be a great beer to sip in the lake.
Bottle
It smelled wonderful, and fresh, and fragrant, but the flavor just couldn't live up to it. This had everything I dislike about both saisons and IPAs (alcoholic flavor, lingering bitter finish) without very much in the other direction.
Sweet pepper hop smell. Slightly sour start, slight pepper finish.
