Logs for beers from this brewery

Yes, I can taste the peaches. It also says something about Mango on the can. But really all of this is overshadowed by the fact that it is an IPA... with all that bitterness and general non-goodness.
Can at Home
Honestly it just tastes like any other IPA to me... which is to say, not something I’d go out of my way for. I read the label just now and it claims “notes of lemon and mango.” But uh, no, I don’t think so.
Can at Home
So if I’d wanted lime in my beer, I’d cut one up and squeeze it in myself. And not have started with an IPA. So... yeah.
Can at Home
Very nice on a warm summer day. Good grainy flavor but smooth as you’d expect from a lager.
Can at Home
A little too sweet, more than I remember from last time, a thin, insipid kind of sweetness. Thoroughly underwhelmed.
Can at Home
Rich, campfire smokiness. Sweetish, malty lager.
Smells of fizzy, bright peaches although the fruit is not really prominent in the flavor. I wouldn't say this tasted like an IPA at all - maybe at most kind of a Kolsch with peach. I've got a vague feeling that it's possible this beer was misidentified as well.
Very nice, although you could have told me this was a chili IPA and I would have believed you.
A hazy, fruity IPA but with a sweet, slightly buttery cereal finish that really mellows out this beer. Still pretty bitter but I think it was my favorite of the night.
Very bitter, hoppy dark lager. This year's version is a lager for the first time in a long time, and I'm not sure I like it.
Dry, pleasant IPA with a bit of resin tang right at front. Nothing screams "fresh hop" about this beer, but it is tasty.
A mild, tropical IPA that has is smoothed out by the unusual step of added vanilla. The vanilla doesn't necessarily taste very fancy, but it still works, I think.
Very pleasant. Don't stop believing. We're number tree.
Bottle at Work
Lots of hops, lots of caramel. Previous review still holds.
Bottle at Work
Roasty, coffee stout. Perhaps on the bitter side, but it beats the sweetness that I was afraid of. I had a few sips of this because the server switched our beers, but I did like it.
Fizzy, fruit-forward IPA, appley. Completely lacking any bitterness. Super-drinkable, probably wouldn't appeal to IPA afficionados, but it hit for a light, refreshing hop beer.
Bottle at Work
Major flavor is roasted, sweet coffee, with some dark spiced bread flavors. Thinnish body with prominent alcohol flavors. It wasn't clear from the menu that this was dark, or a doppelbock, and I found myself wishing I'd ordered something else.
Fruity, sweet and cereal - tropical and buttery with a bit of a peppery finish. Almost candy-like, but not cloying. Tasty. They had a Bravo version as well, but I didn't get to try it.
A strong, nutty coffee flavor distinguishes this from the Long Hammer. You can tell there's an IPA underneath but it's more coffee-dominant than other coffee IPAs I've tried. It does still build up more alpha than I like over time, though.
Not enough coffee to taste like coffee, just enough to make this beer weirdly and unpleasantly sweet.
Dry-ish saison with more than a little hop character in it. Little bit of a notable sweetness on the opening before it dries out. Kind of unmemorable.
Fruity hop-flavored ale, somewhere between a pale and an IPA, with a bit of a toasty character. Stylistically indistinct, but a perfectly decent beer.
A creamy porter with light chocolate and coffee flavors. The flavor is very light, almost to the point of being watery, but holds together. A decent, summer-drinkable dark beer.
Lightly flavored lager with an American pilsner character. The smoke is light but pokes through in a lingering aftertaste, reminding me of something like a Laphroaig. I know Francis couldn't taste any smoke, but I definitely got it, and solidly.
A mildly tart dark saison with some good stonefruit but also a lot of Belgian spice / clove, which was a minus for me. Otherwise a pretty good beer.
Nice flavors in front, a slightly spicy cereal followed by sweet malty notes. Some fragrant hop notes. The finish, though, was a big wall of acrid bitterness, which seemed well out of balance.
Good, spices are not too strong.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
A light, hop and caramel amber ale. Drinkable, but I think most of the appeal may have been from the surroundings here.
Draft
A slight smokiness from a decent amount of roast, this is a porter on the sour side, like a lot of English porters. It has a bit of an empty-feeling body but it does sweeten out. A bit nutty and a finish reminiscent of a malted chocolate milk ball, but not nearly as sweet. Very decent, I'd say?
This was all perfume and resin and no body. Which is not automatically bad -- the flavors were good. I just wish there was something to offset the perfume.
Thin brown that moves somewhat unexpectedly to a rich, creamy caramel sweetness. It was almost one-note, but very pleasantly so. A treat beer that won't distract from whatever else you're eating.
A 2011 bottle of a beer I've never seen before. Very smooth, to the point of almost being flavored out of existence. Sweetish malt finish.
Bottle at Xbeer One
Inoffensive anf flat tasting. Is there really apple in there?
Jibes with my earlier description, except maybe less sweet. This would've been perfect outdoors and sunny.
Smooth coffee taste, like a cappuccino but without any sweetness. Once you get through the head the beer becomes more brown ale, less coffee more malt.
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Very pleasant banana & spice Belgian pale, mildly sweet and refreshing. Had it with Redhook's pulled pork sandwich, and it was perfect.
Unremarkable, but refreshing and enjoyable beer. Resinous hop flavors without too much bitterness, ends on cereal flavors. Has a light underlying sweetness.
Yeasty open, only the slightest hint of apple on the nose (maybe it's just me, today). Finish is equal parts mild cider and sweetish-malt cereal (reminiscent of Sam Adams lagers), bordering on watery. Dryish finish. Different enough to be interesting.
Bottle at Home
They said this was barrel aged and 9.2%. This was surprisingly tasty! Malty-sweet with strong butter caramel notes and maybe some estery fruitiness under the covers. Finish hints at being boozy but rounds out with a subtly dry bitterness that recalls malty Scotch Ales.
Tastes like a standard American lager, maybe a bit fuller in flavor but without any European pilsner bite at the end. Quite drinkable, if a bit boring.
Pretty standard IPA. A nice cereal finish.
Bottle
A bit of skunk on the nose and a clear, rounded berry essence right at the front. It really is more of an essence than anything like juice, and sweet it's not. Fills out well, cereal-wise and finishes with a good bitter tang at the end; that is, a perfectly good if not very crisp Kolsch, and the berry complements it well.
Roasted malts, not too flavorful.
Bottle at Pool
Light pumpkin-spice middle. Thin and quick taste profile but what's there is flavorful with some caramel and nut.
Bottle
I liked this in the past, but today it seemed to have basically no interesting flavor whatsoever. The hot dog was good, though.
Basically indistinguishable from a cream ale. Very light, with a touch of funk on top. Good carbonation. Not bad.
Aromatic sudsy smell. Sweetish cereal body with tight slight bitter finish.
Draft
I'm mostly glad this wasn't yet another watery beer. More interesting than the amber, with a good cereal body but an overly bitter finish. Of Redhook's yellow beers, I like the others I've had (Game Changer, Blondage) better than this.
This seemed much better on draft at the brewery. This bottle was watery and slightly off, like the Sapporo I had earlier today mixed with some additional funk.
Bottle at Work
Still very drinkable.
Opens like the Whale Ale, fragrant and citrusy, but quickly dries to a light, crisp cereal finish. Prickly carbonation helps the transition. Really tasty, I thought!
Bottle
Secret stash ftw
Bottle at Bob & Eunice's
Light and mildly roasty with the creamy finish of a good black lager. It's a little insubstantial, but very drinkable.
Stronger hop smell than what's present in the bulk of the taste. Caramel cereal body followed by relatively short sharp and bitterness.
Bottle at Home
A thin brown with a nice cinnamon graham like balance of spices. Not especially beer-like, but kind of yummy.
A light porter with distinct and pleasing bourbon barrel characteristics. I could drink a whole lot of this - and I probably did.
Sweet bourbon presence, sweetish malt finish. A tanginess is more present than any real bitterness. Has a peanut, almost butterscotch finish. The nitro smoothing effect worked well here and isn't strong.
Solid sporting lager. Could drink this all day. Excellent substitute for lower-class stadium fare.
Like an ESB, but made darker without changing the flavor.
Big and fruity with huge amounts of piney florality and a pithy finish. I really enjoyed it at first but I think it was almost too floral; by the end it was tasting like fabric cleaner to me.
Slight resinous finish with a good malt sweetness that accompanies it. Not a complex IPA.
Went well with the pulled pork. Kind of weird to be drinking a Seattle brew that I've never seen in Seattle before halfway around the world.
Chewy sweet malt texture, like wet hay and caramel. I kind of liked it, but it was undeniably one-note.
Bottle at Work
Not quite as bad as from cask, and not quite as good as from a bottle. It's drier with more prominent spices.
Hoppy, yes, but, with a nice malty finish that really turned the experience around. After the ESB it was a relief and a pleasure, and nice way to finish the tour.
Part of the brewery tour. In context, this was the low point. A little too bitter with not much to mitigate it. I've enjoyed drinking this on its own so it's interesting how it changed for me here.
Part of the brewery tour. Plain tasting lager, not much cereal flavor and no funk or nuttiness. Reminded me of a Sam Adams.
Part of the brewery tour. The high point was at the start -- an easy drinking light ale with not much florality and a nice crisp cereal malt finish. Just a touch of spicy hop to start.
Hoppy and dark brown with dry toasty coffee notes, some deep caramel, and fairly smooth in spite of all that. A nice beer for the cold weather, even if it was just a bit more strongly hopped than I usually like. I haven't liked hoppy porters in the past, but call it something else to change my expectations and I'll probably be more forgiving.
Smelled nice, but seemed more sour than I remember.
like drinking nutmeg... you've REALLY gotta be in the mood for a spiced beer to enjoy it
I had to try it on cask at the brewery, but it wasn't a good idea. To a certain extent, I think this beer needs the kick from regular carbonation to keep it interesting & balanced. The flavor of the finish also seems to have suffered.
Slightly funky smell. Very light taste and has a faint bitter quality akin to baking powder.
Just the right balance of pie spice to porter. The pumpkin is still absent, but this is about how I remembered it.
It was the lesser of multiple evils.
I actually enjoyed this. For a watery beer it had just enough flavor and the right flavor to make it very drinkable. Calling it an APA is massively overselling it, though.
Bottle at Home
Hard to detect pumpkin and the maple & spice are more of a fragrant finish than flavors, but this is a malty, smooth porter, and oh-so-easy to drink.
Bottle at Home
Slightly more enjoyable than your average Guinness.
I was really very pleasantly surprised by this beer. Nice fragrance, and a fruity, resinous start that gives way to a rye-like pepperiness (is that the hemp seed?), before leading to a finish that threatens to but never quite gets bitter.
Smell: mild hop smell. Taste: resinous, like a dry straw taste. Starts like it should be bitter but doesn't go there. The resin continues post-drink. I want this to be a good IPA but it's not there.
Easy-drinking, somewhat thin stout enhanced by a really nice, well-integrated coffee flavor. Rare is the coffee beer that makes me want to try the coffee its based on, but this is one.
For a beer described as thick it's one of the thinner stouts I've had, but that doesn't hurt its drinkability. The coffee smell/taste is a good quality and makes up for the thinner taste profile.
I drank this because I only had three dollars in my wallet, and the corner store has a ten dollar minimum purchase for credit cards.
