Both a dry lager and a mildly sweet pumpkin ale, cola-like, lightly spiced. Very drinkable.

Extremely bitter, somewhat thick and brackish.

A lightly tangy gose, with a big hit of watermelon candy flavor. Not a huge fan when a watermelon beer basically turns into a Jolly Rancher over say, something more like fresh juice.

Quite tart, a tiny bit salty on the lips. The interesting part of this is more in the fragrance, which is complex and citrus, than the flavor... which is probably appropriate given that this is Buddha's Hand. Rooty sourness leading to clean lemon notes and finishing with cloudy cereal.

Peachy smell. Resinous hops start. Lacking cereal middle, and uninteresting finish with more of those hops. I'm not inspired but it's not bad.

Medium tart, musty flavor. Hint of bit cucumber. Okay sour but not something that stands out.

You know, it's pretty fine for a CDA. I'm just reminded that I don't really enjoy the style.

Flat and pithy, with a distinct kind of chemical, Lemon Pledge flavor.

Grassy and bitter, with pretty high alpha and an unpleasant, raw cabbage-like edge to the flavor. Did not scream fresh to me at all.

Clean, slightly sweet Brut IPA, less funky and bitter than previous ones and more of a clean pilsner character. Super refreshing.

Great, balanced blueberry cider. Medium tart, semi dry, very clean flavors.

So. First thing is this doesn't taste like Pineapple, so let's get that out of the way. Past that, this is a super easy-drinking pale with vague tropical fruit flavors and a light finish. Quite nice.

Sweet banana, honey, faint smoke. Coriander and pepper subtly in the background. Surprisingly yeast-bitter on the finish.

Pithy IPA but with a hefty hop flavor to match. Pine, cereal and yeast. Lingering bitterness.

Decent pale, on the resinous, dry side.

First thing to note is that the oyster is nigh undetectable. Nor is the beer briny in character at all. So that's a bit of a miss. But! For a Gose, this is delicious and light, with a bit of lemon zest, slight salt. Would make a good liquor to base a mignonette to accompany an oyster, at least.

Vegetal pumpkin ale, with cinnamon and more than a little chili bite on top. Pretty good, although maybe the spice could have been toned down.

My main impression of these Sticke beers, at least on America, is that they mostly show off alcohol. This tasted strong, and here more than a few hops as well. Caramel, yes, but very dry. I wanted something a little sweeter and a lot more malty.

Frankly, this wouldn't have been my first choice, but there was nothing else remotely interesting on the tap list this time. Lots of candi sugar in a boozy, somewhat spicy Belgian. There's a lot of piney hop character and finishing bitterness as well, which wasn't what I was looking for. They say this was aged on Madeira and oak... but I couldn't tell at all.

Strong warm coffee with mocha and hopped cereal smell. Nice sour clean cereal start, thin body, smooth finish. Tastes like it smells, no surprises. Rich taste with some lingering richness.

No. I did not like this, Sam I am.

Standard barley wine. Sweet, whiskey flavors. For this brewery, it was at least nice not to get kicked by hops, but I still didn't think a lot about this beer while drinking it.

Sharp, hoppy opening. I get it now -- they sure like a piney hop profile here. Sweet, typical American Hefe wheat follow through, with a touch of yeasty tang. Pretty good.

After all the hoppy beers this was almost sweet. Smooth and a mellow cereal malt presence. I think it lived up to its namesake, and made for a nice change in context.

It was... red? Smoother than the abominable but similar. Just a hint of chocolate malt. After several sips, I still couldn't think of anything interesting to say about it.

Seemed like a standard IPA. In context the flavors were a little... musty. Less fresh. Definitely in contrast to the IPX, at least.

Very, very similar to their regular IPA offering. There's just a tiny bit more fresh "pop" to the hop flavor. I can't really put it into better words than that, unfortunately.

This is definitely a different beast than the other two stouts. It's got a thick malty sweetness more in the vein of a Czar or World Wide, although it also still has a noticeable roasted bitterness to it. I wish I'd had this out of the context of a flight of 15 beers! I probably would have enjoyed it more.

I've had this before but it was illuminating to have this in the flight. The same sour roasty opening as the Black Dragon is there, although this time the finish is just more roast. Not a thick stout, and on the dry side. I give it more points for a consistent follow through, though I think I liked it better last time.

There's a sharp roasted flavor to open, with a bit of that dry stout sourness, before it transitions to that familiar, creamy oat finish. I liked it overall, but that jarring change from the opening is hard to forget.

The third version of Abominable in the flight. Didn't taste much whiskey in this, but the barrel definitely smoothed this out. I'd actually place this halfway between the regular and nitro versions in terms of smoothness. There's still a good bit of sharpness in there.

The flight included a nitro version of this as well. Definitely a lot smoother, and the finish was much less bitter. A clear malt expression in this one as well, and I was pleased not to notice any weird nitro flavors.

Quite hoppy and fragrant, almost IPA like. A bit of amber sweetness but not strongly malty to my mind. Pithy finish, but clean.

Taken right after the regular HUB Lager, you can tell the resemblance. But this has a spike of tangerine and fragrant hop on top of it -- interesting, and a tiny bit jarring. Some of the pilsner aspects that make the HUB Lager good were masked. Overall, this was not as well-melded as some IPL-type beers, but I liked it.

Still a strong lager. Did have that bit of rooty astringence that I think I noticed last time.

Meaty cereal body, roasty bitterness. Nice complexity with a slight tangy sort of finish.

Very drinkable. Flavor profile is above average.

Hops (citrus and fruit) lead, balanced by amber malts offering some toffee behind. Medium body, a bit of lingering bitterness

Citrus and hints of fruits more like a pear or melon. Medium malt flavor behind that rounds it out and gives an ever-so-slightly bitter finish. Very smooth mouth feel, leaning towards thick but not too much so.

Strong roasty coffe taste, doesn't hide its higher APV though.

A tad too bitter. Delicious though.

Slightly more wet-hay aspect to this - don't know if it's the can. It's still very nice.

Reminds me a lot of Creemore, malted barley tastes with a slight hint of bitterness on the finish.

Has the flavors you'd expect of a winter ale, with a fruity hop character and sweet malt, but rounded out beautifully with wine notes from the pinot noir barrels (while still tasting like beer).

Opens very roasted, almost burnt, before mellowing out into a creamy oatmeal stout character. The finish is mildly savory-nutty, which gives it a nice closing hit of complexity. The burnt feeling peters out after the first couple sips. Really enjoyable.

Nice grassy hop flavor with the tang I like, with a big malt finish. Just maybe a touch too bitter, but it was nice. Yum!

A good mix of hops and malt, moderately bitter finish with a foamy opening and a clean flavor. Not especially memorable, maybe even a touch watery, but it was the right choice for the moment.

Watery beer that finishes with some bitters.

Light sweet smell. Really pleasant body, hints of peach with a solid bitterness. No bad bitters here.

Slightly floral, pleasant hops. Light taste overall but has the bite to keep it interesting. A really good balance.

Strongly floral, fruity fragrance. The flavor is unexpectedly different, with a hit of hoppy bitterness that mellows out quickly to a malty, tongue-tingling finish.

This is great. It has the hops that finish well with just the right amount of bitter to be present but no more. The pleasant maltiness makes for a good beer.

Metallic. Bitter. Floral.
