Logs for beers from this brewery

This is very Very very very lime. I mean, man!
Bottle at Work
Amber/caremel. Good, but I don't know what else to say.
Still agree with my last log.
Bottle at Work
It's okay, until a minute later, where there is this weird metallic aftertaste. And this beer is in a glass bottle.
Bottle at Work
Smooth, caramel, brown ale but maybe a bit bland of a base, with some decent, light coffee flavor on top. Touch of wet hay. What came to mind was a coffee Newcastle Brown Ale. Quite drinkable, but not super-memorable.
A decent thirst beer, not too sweet like a lot of commercial beers.
Region- and flavor-appropriate for the Texas barbeque we were eating.
Had an unexpected toastiness to the flavor which was a nice surprise.
Oh Gawd, how long has this bottle been in the Odin fridge? I can't tell if it is suppose taste like this...
Bottle at Odin Lounge
A very worthy kolsch from Shiner!
Bottle
Amber lager with caramel with a bit of toasty flavor in the malt. Finishes with a stronger than usual hop bitterness, but it's clean and works in context. Really solid.
Bottle at Home
A perfectly drinkable black lager, and that's about all you can say about it.
Fizzy, cloudy, somewhat ugly beer with absolutely no head retention (see picture). This claims to be a Czech lager, but the abundant yeasty tang & fruit esters make this taste more like a Kölsch. Similar unappealing aftertaste to the Prickly Pear; otherwise, this isn't bad once you get past the fact that it's not very lager-like.
Bottle at Home
Pours a beautiful ginger ale-like golden amber. Wonderful scent, reminiscent of "Guaraná Antarctica" soda, with its dry, ambiguous berry flavor. That fruit is prominent in the foretaste, followed by a slight tart dryness, and then (reminding you it's a beer) a touch of pilsner-like bitterness. This would have made for a refreshing, light summer beer, except that the aftertaste is really off-putting: rooty, mineral, astringent. Quite unpleasant, and a shame.
