Logs for beers from this brewery

Starts bracing and tart, primarily guava, some citrus, but also quite a bit of toasty coconut coming up to mellow out the flavor. Clean-finishing.
Darker with more tang than either of the others; less overly sweet.
Quite a bit different, brighter than 2022. More biscuit up front though the finish does resolve much the same.
Pine citrus, clear but bitter, maybe a little sweet in its oily intensity.
Robust, mildly sweet and smooth. Hints of coffee and cacao. Beertender said this was the first time in a while this wasn’t whiskey-barreled, and I’m liking it.
Very similar to the coffee, slightly sweeter, light but not overdone coconut. I keep going back and forth about what I like better.
Medium-thick, vanilla, wood. Nutty with slightly sweet coffee that turns a bit uric at the end. Nice.
Brackish and dry like you might expect from an Italian Pilsner, but with a lemon pine hop sheen on top. Veers a little acrid but not bad.
Nice, creamy, cereal sweet, but with a funky, fruity wildness that just peeks through.
A soft IPA, hops are almost obscured by hazy body but wait a bit and they're there.
Smoothish dark but really nakedly bourbon-forward. Punches you in the face.
A big, thick, roasty and malt-sweet stout. It’s been awhile but reminiscent of Dragonstooth maybe? I like it but it’s a little too out of balance to be great.
Not bad but disappointing after the wheat. More sweet, more resin, more cloying, more dank.
Love this. Not too sour, fresh sour smell no funk, tasty.
Lightly sweet, fragrant with a fresh, lemon-pine hop flavor, a bit dank on the nose. Tingly finish.
I can't remember much about this other than I really liked it. And at least I remember it more than the other beer I had in this flight, which I can't even begin to identify.
Medicinal bitterness, like a licorice candy. Interesting, not bad, though not exactly purely enjoyable to drink.
Yup. Confirmed. I'm really liking this.
Can at Home
Not as juicy as the actual beers I had in the Northeast, but a similar grapefruit / tropical opening. Finish is decidedly cereal, and quite a tasty experience overall.
Surprisingly flavorful, with a slight sake-like tang on top of a rich lager flavor. I have a whole can of this stuff at home so I'll be giving it a deeper look soon.
Very pleasant Czech dark lager. Light and slightly chocolatey.
Pleasant dark lager. Roast barley at the forefront, finishes slightly buttery and moderately bitter.
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 really resinous pale with a slight tickle of cucumber at the opening. Pithy, bitter finish. I kept going back and forth between really not liking this beer and being intrigued by its flavors.
There's a nice pilsner underneath here, but also a really resin-sweet hop presence that I didn't much care for. Dry hopped? I think this was dry hopped.
Basically your average American hefe. Perfectly drinkable but completely easy to forget given the other beers of the evening.
