Logs for beers from this brewery

Cacao bomb. Sweet and thick. But quite tasty.
Extremely sweet; so sweet that I thought I had gotten some other beer by mistake.
Sweet, citrus, recalls childhood memories of Five Alive.Slight bitterness, but very drinkable and accessible.
Tasty but raw. Lots of booze, malt, caramel. Wears its strength on its sleeve.
Quite sweet. Molasses, fruit, caramel finish. Grows on you as you drink it.
The least beer-like of the bunch, but it is drinkable. It has a kind of dilute sparkling wine crossed with light lager character about it; sweet-ish, fruit-ish, sparkly-ish.
Brighter and clearer than the Two Hearted, more lemony and metallic in the backbone. It’s still very nice for an assertive IPA.
A little bit alcohol forward after a few sips but otherwise a fine stout.
Very tasty, fresh, Deschutes-like IPA. Not too piney.
Luminosa hops, apparently. Lighter tasting than I expected, but very nice for sure.
Hits the notes that Hubbard’s Cave missed. Sweet coffee with a light bodied stout, no weird, extraneous flavors. Still a bit on the sweet side and no roast to balance it, but positively normal after the past two outliers. Firmly in what I would consider breakfast stout territory.
A sweet-ish, pleasant pilsner, laced with a bitter, brett-like complexity on top. Drinking a whole pint makes me think this was deceptively stronger than expected as well. I liked this one a whole lot.
Can at Home
Decent hazy IPA. Can't remember enough about it to say more.
Fort George Clatsop Mule (unknown release)
Extremely strong lime smell. Sweet, simplistic flavor.
Opens like a helles but immediately moves into a champagne-like funk, yeasty and tangy. Bubbliness lingers for quite a while. Finishes very light and with cereal, almost a bit weak compared to the journey, but overall - unusual and tasty!
On draft again, this was definitely much better than in a can.
Significantly worse from a can. A lot more of a tacky feeling in the throat afterwards that I don't remember from Thirsty Hop.
Roasty light porter with coconut; not sweet but the coconut is toasty and mellow. Liked this a lot.
A deep, frothy, fruity stout, plums or dates in abundance. It's been a while since I had a beer that tasted like this, and I'm having a hard time remembering which one it reminds me of. Maybe one of the old Ovila barrel-aged dark quads?
Grapefruit-passion juicy IPA. Slightly more dry/bitter than others I've had, although like the best examples ends with the promise of bitterness rather than actual alpha.
Opaque, juicy, grapefruit-passion New England-style pale. Not bitter at all.
Super, super dank. Smells and tastes pungent and herbal, almost contrabandy. The lactose sugar is... like a chalky sweetness that tries to cover up but doesn't defeat the dankness of the opening.
Yup, still more hoppy than anything else. Like a light IPA more than even a typical IPL flavor.
A quite-tart, but super-balanced, round fruitiness, somewhere between grape and apple. Not too funky, but still complex. It didn't quite taste like other sour beers, but it was definitely sour, and very, very tasty.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Funkier than the Sucker Punch. Visibly this is cloudy where the other beer was clear. Starts juicy, stone-fruit, and finishes tart, a little fruit-vinegary, with some wheat funk. Definitely more complex but maybe a draw on enjoyability - very nice.
A tart, dry, super-clean lemon lime. No funk to speak of. Definitely a puckerer.
Sunny citrus pale, with a bit of buttery diacetyls on top. This particular combination reminded me of beers from Optimism in Seattle, although less bitter. Mineral finish.
Light caramel coffee Brown. Dry, somewhat mineral finish, sticks in the throat, which was slightly disappointing.
Sweetish for a pilsner, bready. Alcohol flavor pokes through.
Forward-tart, a halfway between orange and grapefruit citrus flavor. Middle is light and sunny, but the finish is decidedly pithy. Very effervescent and bright.
Fort George Matryoshka (unknown release)
Foamy thick stout with a medium-brown head. Clear bourbon on the nose and in the flavor, but balanced out by a malt-ball chewiness. Dry finish with a bit of tackiness left on the back of the throat, but a very solid, straightforward bourbon stout.
Fairly spicy-hoppy brown, with some mellow nuttiness. This didn't get anywhere near the Rogue Hazelnut nectar in terms of resembling nut butter or nut candy, and the hops kind of interfered with my enjoyment, but a perfectly decent beer.
Yes,a bit strange and bitter but still refreshing and light on a summer afternoon. Err morning. Right.
Sweet with a ever so subtle Saison flavor at the very top, with out the over the top sourness. Lovely beer.
Hitting you on the nose with pineapple this lovely IPA finishes with delightful hoppy fruit notes. Nicely done.
You. Guys. This beer is pretty much exactly as advertised - a jammy, mild stout with creamy peanut flavor, exactly the right sweetness & thickness of mouthfeel. I can't say the last few run-ins I've had with Fort George have been great, but this is a winner. It was a little off-puttingly cloudy in appearance, but that's the only negative I can think of.
It had a Funkey smell that Michael described as the smell of diapers. At free which he beer tastes a lot worse
Smells a bit funky, like bleach on a diaper pail or something. Tastes better than that, but really, where do you go from there? (just a sip)
Dry, hoppy pale ale. Oatmeal creaminess is definitely present but so is a strongly bitter finish. Too bitter for me to truly enjoy.
Can at Home
Cream-sweet on first taste, with only a light coconut character. Overall the beer has the body and hints of unwelcome sourness of a thin porter. There are much better options in this category.
Citrus smell, citrus and resin taste. Bitter finish. Yummy!
Standard medium-robust stout, a bit on the burnt side. Also, I know they say that cans don't impart a metallic flavor to beer, but I swear, there's something there.
Surprisingly manages to both accurately express the idea of a "Coffee IPA" and be rather tasty at the same time. Robust dry coffee flavor with strong hop character. Bitter and floral, but not fruity, for which I'm thankful.
Sharp mild-funk smell that hints of a tangy taste. Cereal-start taste and a slightly-funky bitter finish. After a few more sips the coffee comes out from beneath the bitter finish and it becomes a nice coffee IPA.
Woodsy IPA flavor that stays just on the acceptable side of resinous, and a nice peppery finish that -- while not screaming BELGIAN!! -- still manages to let you know where you're at.
Wood oak smell. Sour start, bitter woody finish. Good short malt body.
Nice Belgian IPA but I have a hard time finding the bourbon in the aroma or the taste.
Bottle at Home
Spicy finish was interesting the first few sips but it would get tiring after half a glass. Otherwise not a bad flavor.
Lifecycle of a sip: all malt -> all hops -> all that remains is bitterness, with big walls in between.
Roasty strong imperial in the vein of a Dragonstooth. Slightly less bitter, more alcohol kick.
