Logs for beers from this brewery

Smooth on nitro. Which is all one asks. I do like the rye hint
Almost nitro-flat but contributes to a very smooth opening. Finishes with a somewhat rounded hop (or rye?) bite at the end that reduced my enjoyment a smidge.
A fruity but clear IPA. Prety good.
Can at Home
Not very pilsnery, imo. Somewhere between a helles lager and a kolsch, in terms of sweetness and some of the same yeasty fruit that was evidence in the Hefe. Also somewhat tacky rather than clean in the finish. Still very decent.
Pleasant, fruity beer. Apricot, cloudy, estery. Fairly sweet. Finishes very tacky in the throat but flavorful and perfect for a sunny wedding!
Strangely sour for a kolsch, and in a funky way. This was a lot like drinking a loaf of sourdough bread. Very dry finish. This wasn't bad at all, but it was odd. And definitely not a refreshing beer.
Other than the fine head, this beer did not feel like a nitro beer, with what seemed like plenty of "normal" carbonation; the keg may not have been conditioned properly? But that probably worked in its favor for me. A pale that starts hoppy but that lightens swiftly and pleasantly. Still finishes with some pith.
Creamy and surprisingly smooth for a 9%+ beer. Spicy notes of rye on top and hints of chocolate round out the flavor. A tasty beer at a fun location (and ice cream next door!).
A little weird on the nitro, but pretty refreshing if a tad on the bitter side for me.
