Logs for beers from this brewery

Bitterly effervescent? It's just like colored bitter soda water. Maybe like tonic water?
Meh. It's like cranberry, vodka, and soda. It's not really like a beer. It is pretty tart.
I think this would be way better work food. OTOH, beer feels necessary anyway.
So, beeradvocate lists this as a Euro Pale Lager .Our bartender said it was some sort of mix and something like a blue moon. Seemed almost like a mix of beer and orange juice .It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great .I might rather just have a blue moon
Actually, I've been having this a lot, and have come to enjoy it as a reasonable heavy-beer option .It's musty and thick and goes well with heavy pub grub . I really haven't gotten any of that soda-like quality I found last year.
This is actually one of my go-to beers at Granite City .
It's a fine, though somewhat forgettable Oktoberfest beer .
Nice clarity with a delicious hint of malty sweetness .
Tart and grapefruity, which is not at all what I expect from a hefeweizen. Gets kind of brackish as I work my way down . Roy says it's Lacking in character as well.
This is fine .A little thin, like one of those European darks. Almost sodaish. There is a hint of cherry, even a hint of stout. But it doesn't really seem like the label .
This seems like a pretty normal, dryish IPA .Not extraordinarily hoppy, but totally reasonable if you're into that sort of thing .
So I tried this for science, and the barrel aged aficionados would be disappointed Mild, hardly any barrel flavor .
Smooth, almost syrupy, with the flavor of smoke on the back of the tongue. It strikes me as a combination of a stout and a soda. And I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of soda-like beers.
This is very much a bock. Light, malty, nutty .
Not much in the way of scent. Starts out with the citrus character of an IPA, but none of the bitterness. Then on a long slow burn, the bitterness becomes apparent, well after you've put down the glass.
Clear, watery mouthfeel.Malty sweet . Clean and refreshing, though slightly on the anonymous side .
