Logs for beers from this brewery

I actually like this. Slightly bitter, little malt. Underneath what tastes like a decent pale ale, there's the rooty/meaty flavor of pumpkin, and under that, a hint of pumpkin pie spices. Overall, it balances pretty well.
Bottle at Home
Hard to tell if this is the right beer. Mine was from Trader Joe's. And sadly, it tasted a little bit fake.
Bottle at A Friend's
Refreshing in the same way a glass of cold grape juice is. As a beer though...
Blegh fake blueberry residual flavor that keeps lingering.
Smells strongly of blueberry, but the flavor is more like a shell of an idea. No hint of juice, just skins and seeds, tannic and astringent on the finish. There is dry sweetness from the malt, but it just creates more dissonance with the desire to taste fruit juice. An unpleasant residual sense of blueberry does linger on afterwards, and for quite a while.
A drinkable if subdued IPA, not too extreme in any direction and a pleasant, fragrant flavor, almost like if you let an actual tasty IPA get stale.
Bottle at Xbeer One
Similar to the Ubu in base flavors, but more integrated and smoothed out. Not bad at all.
Bottle at Xbeer One
Smells a bit like cola, but fortunately doesn't taste it -- just a really well integrated fruity pumpkin & spice flavor. Just sweet enough, just malty enough, no bitterness.
