Logs for beers from this brewery

Actually tastes a little barrel aged, which makes it interesting. But not too offensive to my taste.
It's a rather harsh sour, that the sweet undertone does little to mitigate.
Can at Home
Banana and sweet, but with an odd aftertaste.
Nice sour on top of what tastes like a Belgian golden ale
Bottle at Home
A good, if very slightly wheaty, pils .It escapes the brackish flavor that I feel accompanies most German Pils. So, it might not be what you expect, but I kind of like it. In fact, I'm actually debating between solid and yum .
My palate is kinder to this beer now, and I can appreciate it more. It still has quite a bit of forward hop fragrance & character and I would never call this a pils. But it's a perfectly drinkable light-ish beer.
Delightfully fruity and hoppy. Sour fruit on the nose. Lovely beer.
At first, this drinks like a classic saison, but the herbs, while understated, do start poking out in uncomfortable ways. In particular there's a savory turn with the thyme right before the end, and a soapy bitterness afterwards which I assume comes from the parsley. I assume the rosemary faded into the hops and I couldn't detect sage at all. I thought I was going to like it, but in the end I couldn't finish.
Slight, toasty malt character with a bit of sweetness followed by rounded hops and moderate bitterness on the finish. Drinkable and slight, if not a style I particularly enjoy.
Malts are a bit funky

Lots of bittering hops balance out a lot of coffee, roasted malts. Lingering bitterness on the finish. Pretty good, but needs more malt to balance the huge bittering. Amazingly drinkable for 9% though!
Bottle at Pool
Super-hoppy, and by that I mean American northwest hops, full of florality and resin and pithy bitterness -- the last things I really want in something labeled a "pils."
It is an ale "brewed with spices". It has a pale lemony color, and a creamy citrus peel flavor. It tasted light on the tongue, but has more body in the throat (felt thick to swallow) which was an odd sensation.
