It’s a good IPA, dry, bitter, but not overly pithy or resinous. A significant ding for tasting nothing like guava.

Fragrant, citrus, sunny. Very nostalgic flavor, and not a bad fit for breakfast.

This thing is suffused with the spirit of chocolate; the thickness, the fruitiness of the cacao really comes through. It's decadent and luxurious rather than refined and luxurious - this feels like it would have been a lot to take when it was young, but it's still a lot now.

Light and tasty, bit of tangy taste. Not much bitterness.

A rounded, fruity (but not juicy) IPA with some cereal funk and clean finish. I don't especially get a lot of mango here but I also understand my palate may be fried.

Not the sweetest dessert stout I've ever had, but this is up there. Starts with some roast and marshmallow but the sweetness goes on and on. Boozy, too.

This one's weird, honestly. Light, but with smoky white pepper notes like you get with a Belgian IPA. The lemon sits a bit uneasily on top of that. I appreciate they tried it, though.

Jammy, sweet, medium sour. Not much funk and a lot of fruit. It's well-balanced, and interestingly if you have a sip directly after the S'more, there's a real PB&J effect.

This one actually tastes peppery. Spicy rye notes and a bit of malt. Not fruity at all, which is nice for an IPA these days.

A smooth red, Irish-like, with a dry bitterness and pine tar character. Lightly sweet.

A light lemon-pine IPA with distinct peach flavors. I don't think I really get peppercorn here, other than a slightly shimmery bitter finish, but this is tasty.

Thick, peanut butter flavor with some cereal. This is somewhat reminiscent of Peanut Butter Crunch Cereal, which in the past has been famously in tune with my tastes. This one has some backbone too, though.

Caramel, coconut, cocoa. This is dessert sweet avoids being thick or cloying. Really quite tasty.

Tart but not puckery, not at all funky. Peach with maybe some vanilla? The effect is sour-sweet.

great sour. could be even more mango.

Czech-like, brackish, grassy. Has a sweetness running through it.

Sweet, creamy, peanut butter candy. Very much a dessert beer.

Always a good one.

Extremely dry and toasty, kind of like drinking a Rold Gold pretzel.

Continues the tradition of amazing can art. A fragrant, fruity lager, sweet finish. A good tasting IPL that avoids being a hop bomb.

Disturbing brittle head, like that of a root beer float, but this was actually quite decent. Tart cherry candy with overtones of lactose or vanilla, tart but not at all funky.

Tasty, bourbon, smooth.

Now this is a bet that tastes like watermelon juice rather than watermelon candy. Complex but beerlike. Nice to see one of these that isn’t a sour.

it’s a good IPA which i’m sure others would love

Reminds me of an Almond Joy and that’s a good thing

Really nice. get a little pleasant grass field in the summer thing going and then a really complex wheat fruit nut combination on the lingering finish

It's like an almond joy infused with cherry. Surprisingly it almost works. I am so close to making this a solid

The scent is great. The mouthfeel is a European dark lager (which is why I told Jet to log out as such) but it does have some additional notes of baker's chocolate.

is not thick enough. it’s like eating some chocolate and then washing it down with water. not pleasant

Bitter and sour. Actually pretty good.

This is better balanced than the goofy ones. Mild and flavorful. I suppose some might like more bitterness.

Kind of a bitter zest. Not really a lot more going on.

Not bad. Flavorful, though a little thin, with a bitter backbone.

I dunno. it’s just a little musty compared to the lil boots maybe i shouldn’t have had em in this order

really nice citrus forward for summer

I DON’T WANNA LOOSE HEART!!!!!!!!!!’ FREEEEEEEEEEEEDOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Fruit and Hefe works!

pretty standard lager

Night and effervescent. Pretty nice.

So rate to get a smokey thing with a refreshing base. Hits the spot.

Tastes like a fairly refreshing lager infused with the smoke from over done sausages.

A little malty for my tastes but solid

Flavorful and yet somehow insipid at the same time, like a watery macro version of a malty northwest amber ale.

Boozy and sweet, lots of vanilla and oak. A significant hoppiness comes in at the end. Still maintains a light mouthfeel. Pretty good!

Malty, metallic, hay, tingly on the tongue. I like it because it tastes slightly electric.

Sweet, vanilla, coffee, a little prickly. A very milk stout milk stout… I suspect would be better off the vanilla was slightly toned down. Should appeal if you’re in a dessert mood.

Sweet, chocolate, hints of cinnamon. The chili is very subtle but there’s a very woody bitterness on the finish that’s a little less than awesome in the overall flavor profile.

Not gonna lie, this is very similar in flavor profile to the Bottle Logic. Less thick, less booze, a little bit more roast and bite.

Strongly candy cherry, cream, fizzy soda. Finishes tart and bright. It's a little too intense, maybe, but it walks the fine line without blowing through it.

Strong fudge notes, sweet, thick. Strong whisky. Finishes surprisingly clean for how overt it is.

A sweet, brown, roasty, toasty, maple beer. Clear as a bell.

Tart, lightly funky, dry. Lemon and prickly pear and hints that remind me of guava, maybe.

Apricot/fuzzy peach. Juicy more than sour although it ends with a nice tartness. It lets the actual fruit through in a way that's rare for this flavor profile.

Flavorful IPA. Fruity, cereal, dry, but finishes light enough.

Yup. Back on tap.

A mellow, lightly sweet + roast stout. Very pleasant to drink... although I kind of almost wanted something more prickly given the name!

I'm a little congested from allergies today so I didn't really get the whiff of lime that I'm told is there. Without being told what the fruit was I actually got a lot of tart apple in the flavor, along with some sweet cereal. Maybe it's just lime, but I really enjoyed this.

A brackish, rich blonde ale that’s a little dark in flavor. Dry, uric, which... It was sunny and warm out, I think I wanted something more refreshing?

Pretty tasty, mellow (especially for an IPA from this brewery). The flavor gets a little more pungent through the glass but it's very drinkable.

Estery, lightly spicy, very smooth and drinkable.

Delicious, less sweet than you'd imagine with good body and barrel;.

Comparing this directly to La Petit Mort, this is at once sharper and fruitier, with the caramel (and tannins) coming later. Whatever was lacking in the wine front before is back.

Citrus/grapefruit, cloudy, but with a super-mild follow-through. Stays juicy rather than transitioning to cereal. Coats the tongue.

A clean rice lager, fragrant, clear, with a little sharpness up front. Fruitier than typical - apple? pineapple? Slightly tart finish.

Very sour. There's a decent guava flavor and it ends with a bit of sweet cereal but it's too sour for me to really enjoy. Compare to Lokahi's, which I really enjoyed.

Maibock-type, sweet and brackish with alcohol poking through. The most cereal out of the three lagers, but it's still subtle.

More strawberry and less mango, but still quite sour. I like the fruit forward stuff here, but I did prefer the guava.

Recognizably guava, quite tart, but really quite appealing. I had a second!

Still a bit salt-forward although some of that might be residual from the Pickled Mango. Otherwise this is a nice clean sour, even if it’s got the kind of nondescript fruitiness of dragonfruit.

Yup. Nope. See my comments on the Ice Cake; still no love of Li Hing, and the mango is definitely evoking something familiar even if it’s something I don’t like. The saltiness sits on the tongue.

Tastes generically toasty, dark; a bit of acid.

Nutty and strawberry, lightly tart and creamy, but I don’t necessarily feel the chocolate here, nor anything especially pistachio.

Caramel, plum, hops. A little prickly, a little raw.

Part pale, part strawberry syrup. Not in a cloying way. This probably shouldn’t work, but I quite liked it (maybe because women rock)

Juicy, opaque, dry up front but with a very nice mango/citrus flavor and a sweet cereal finish.

Feels similar to my previous description except… I didn’t really like it this time. Feels very sour, a little funkier than I’m comfortable with; I’d call the flavor off.

Prickly, dry, coffee. Lightly acidic. Bitter backbone but finishes clean. I liked this!

Brackish, super dry. You’d be forgiven for calling this almost tart. Finishes on some mild cereal, which is nice.

Caramel, malty, pine, jalapeño, bitter, drying, lightly spicy. Waikiki took over the old Aloha Beer location.

Hoppy, dry, high alpha bitterness. A callback to hop bombs of 20 years ago.

Real smooth, yo.

It’s not bad but if you’re going to advertise mango, coconut, mochi, you’re going to have to deliver on that. Instead you have a mellow but otherwise unremarkable tropical IPA.

Vague stone fruit, perhaps a bit of nuttiness, a little sour, a little funky, but not too much in either direction.

Fragrant and sweet, citrus; a hopped Mexican lager? It’s still very light but really does not scream the typical style.

Bready, dark, sourdough-esque. Hints of coffee, but this is definitely on the brown rather than stout side.

Lemon pine with the emphasis on lemon. Oily, drying, bitter and drying.

Fruity opening, very malty, perhaps overly malty. Turns a corner into almost going sour. Grassy/wet hay aftertaste.

Chocolate, roast, milky. Somewhat brackish mouthfeel.

Citrus, fruity, some wheat funk that mellows it out and gives some sweet, cereal milk character.

Caramel, sweet, boozy, balanced. This was really nice.

So thick, so marionberry

Toffee/caramel, smooth, maybe a little vinous even? These are always so reliably good, even while being slightly different every time.

Butter caramel, acidic, roast coffee, smooth and assertive at the same time. It delivers on the name, for sure.

This beer is a lot, in a 2013 this would have been an unprecedent experience kind of "a lot". Lightly smokey, very sweet.

Clean but not exactly bright; coriander, cloudy funk. Ends with tartness.

Sweet, whiskey-forward, caramel, cherry. Smooth. The net effect is almost like one of those coffee hard candies. It's not profound, but it's extremely enjoyable.

Pretty good, mellow, slightly lemony. Cereal finish. Somewhat unusually opaque/thick, in an almost disturbing way, maybe? It tasted good though.

I'm guessing the only difference between my previous log and this one is the flatness. This was decently carbonated and it offset the bitterness a bit (although it was still quite bitter). Probably made it less authentic though.

Orange forward, pithy. This is a juicy pale for sure, although the bitterness is pretty strong.

Thin, unsweet stout with forward spice. It is pretty much accurate although I’m pretty sure the gingerbread version of this made for a more enjoyable beer.

Blueberry and lemon together is definitely going to land on the tart side, and this one defnitely is. The clean sourness of the lemon mixes pretty well with the cloudy, slightly funky blueberry flavor. I think this would totally depend on your mood (and I didn't really seem to like this last time).

Grapefruit forward, a little bit of pith bitterness, but overall very mild. I liked this.

A pleasant, inoffensive lemon-pine IPA. Not bitter.

What if Cherry Coke, but a beer? Seriously, though, it's not cough-syrup like, and it's not really an authentic cherry flavor either. Once I had the realiziation I definitely couldn't untaste it.

Fairly bitter, clean, thin mouthfeel. Caramel and hop oil, sweet but with an astringent finish.

Very weird having this right after the sour, it took a few sips to recalibrate. Hoppy, rooty, plenty of caramel, clean finish. Wood rather than booze.

Immediate up-front tartness, a fruity, grapey-apple flavor that isn't too far off from a fancy Martinelli's. Fairly sour.

Banana/stone fruit; a very mellow, summery beer. Bit of bitterness on the backbone but it’s a nice, yeasty beer.

Spicy, malty, bready. There's a hint of smoke and caraway and some rounded hop flavor too; other beers do these flavors and I'm a little offended but it's really well balanced here.

Sweet, bready. Firm flavor of coriander here, along with an almost-hint of apple+cinnamon? It's very pleasant.

Grapefruit+citrus sweet hazy IPA. Lightly herbaceious. Fruity hops seem to be the signature at this brewery.

Fruity/hoppy lager, pine-lemon. Mildly sweet finish but not much cereal. This is like a pale ale that finishes more like a lager than the other way around.

Interesting stout base for peanut butter; it's more of a cola-like stout with fruitiness and round hops poking through. Definitely has peanut butter but it's a strange mix.

Exactly what you'd expect.

An unpleasant odor right away, sulfur and dishwater. The flavor isn't quite as off-putting, but it's hard to get over that first hit.

Lightly fruity Kölsch but the finish is particularly bitter.

A bright, lightly hoppy golden ale where the fruitiness of the watermelon is right there on the finish rather than being a weird tacked-on flavor. My palate is famously finicky with watermelon so maybe it’s just a good day, but yum.

A summary, sweet-lemon saison with peppery clove notes. Just a tiny bit on the oily side, but it's nice.

Caramel, light raisin, delicious and smooth. Definitely boozy and slightly tacky, but it's delicious.

Slightly spicy, but otherwise so smooth. A creamy-roast unsweet stout; notes of pumpernickel.

Sweet, Helles-like, but with some interesting Belgian-ish spice notes lingering on top. A little funk. My taste buds might be seriously compromised by the Petite Mort, but I appreciate that this isn't actually coming across as "just another lager"

A sweetish lager, lightly fruity, with some wet-hay-like funk. Tastes English if you ask me.

Intensely pungent lemon-pine IPA with vegetal overtones and a drying middle. Light diacetyl butteriness. Finishes clean but this is not a light-hearted beer.

A caramel amber lager with an assertive roast bitterness breaking through an otherwise cereal sweetness. Ain’t a Sam Adams.

Some white pepper and corander up front followed by vinous white grape notes. Tart and drying. Love this!

Sweet, lightly yeasty ale with some floral hop, funk, and bitterness coming to the forefront from the cask pour. Saison-like.

Cocoa and roast, smooth but also flattish. The barrel is there but the finish is more bitter than boozy. A little of a chore to finish.

It's light but with a strong bitter backbone, made me think of something like an Italian pilsner but with the sweet, floral notes of rice. Reminiscent of jasmine.

Seems lighter than last time. The notes from my first log still seem to be very true, especially the cherry notes. It's as smooth and as light as a boozy amber can be, maybe??

Somewhat tart, tacky stout with a plummy alcohol finish. It doesn’t have the sophistication of the manumission. Perhaps a bit more prickly than the regular BA Sherwood from yesterday.

Date/toffee/rum, somewhat strong in alcohol character but balanced nicely with a smooth, roasty stout. Burnt sugar aftertaste.

Look. I was pretty drunk by this point. It was good, I didnt really taste the coconut and that's on me. It's a good porter.

A very pleasant, light-light rice lager. I was in the middle of a very aggressively-flavored catfish po'boy (delicious though) so I'm not sure I can describe this in a more nuanced way.

Definitely doesn't taste as barrel-forward as the beers I usually get from Métier. This is good but it's not blowing me away. Slightly tart, tacky... barrel/booze character is lacking.

Seems like a large difference from last time and context is probably quite relevant here. But today this was a great followup to La Mort Rouge.

It's not as red winey as I remember - more like La Petit Mort in being caramel forward with a little bit of fruitiness. Don't know if my tastes have changed or if it's just simply being a 7 year old vintage.

Lightly sweet, caramel dark lager. Hint of roast, a little tang. It’s inoffensive but sometimes that’s exactly what you are looking for.

Interesting that this is based on Thor’s Hammer, since twice now I’ve found it significantly for successful. Maybe it’s just the vanilla? Who knows?

Primary flavor is reminiscent of pear, with a funky gose like character on top. The finish gets more cereal and sweet over time, but you can taste the salt for sure.

Tastes like a milkshake sour, mildly tart raspberry/sour strawberry and a mellow semisweet finish. It’s not especially milky except in the late aftertaste.

Amber, rich opening, dry resin middle and a cream-ale like cereal finish. The dryness carries on a bit afterwards. Like this quite a lot.

The lavender is not at the forefront here. It’s primarily a citrus IPA with a strong, sweet overtone (I think this is where the lavender is coming in). The hops are pretty assertive and get stronger through the glass.

Very nice... A slightly sweeter Gundpowder Plot that really brings out the caramel. I never thought the base beer tasted particularly barrel-aged, but maple and vanilla really brings out (or at least simulates) that character.

An intensely fragrant, pine-lemon hop bomb up front, although there's a mellow caramel cereal to the finish that counteracts this somewhat in a pleasing way. Still, its assertiveness may get in the way of pure enjoyment.

Starts out with orange/grapefruit hazy hop notes but gets quite tasty very fast. Hints of white pepper and coriander give it a Belgian flair, with a bit of vinous/buttery funk to finish. A little too tart to be a summer gulper.

Could have been a nice beer, but it's a little over-heavy on the lime, especially the tartness. There's a fair bit of sweetish funk as well, but the net effect is that this isn't really bright or refereshing, it's more of a chore. And the sourness just keeps going on and on.

Though its darker, this is fairly similar to the Spackler’s, except not nearly as bitter.

Bright and bitter. Normally it’d probably be too much for me but I think after the sour Helles this was nice.

Don’t know if the can is bad but this feels tart and a little dank, doesn’t match my description from when I was at the taproom.

Don't get a lot of barrel here. It's a smooth stout with caramel notes but it's almost more savory than sweet, despite a foamy, malty finish. Feels like this is maybe quite different every year.

Pine, herbaceous, sunny but with a vegetal, highy bitter finish.

Clean, avoids being syrupy while also being believably cherry. Not getting a ton of “pie” here though, other than it not being necessarily as sour as it could have been.

Looks like barely diluted compote and tastes looks it- berry, slight fruit funk, skewed toward the sweet rather than complex. Not bad but also not all I’d hoped for.

Cocoa, roast, creamy and light. Appreciate any Milk Stout that isn’t simplistically sweet.

Far too much hop character to feel like a lager to me, but this is quite tasty and enjoyable. Orange-grapefruit with some noticeable tartness, dry body, but also quite sunny. Goes down easy.

Flatter than the Brewtea, which accentuates some of the herbality of the hops. Bergamot is at the forefront here, there's less drying from the tea. It's good but not as good as the other one.

A very mild bitter with a nice dryness from the tea. Light esters and an unidentifiable fruit roundness on top of the yeast. Quite decent.

This is really pleasant to drink. You can see the similarity to the Midday, but with that bit of roast added in ups the game. Interestingly, it doesn't have the bitter bite of the Midday. This really tastes like what I'd imagine a dark rice lager to be rather than any other dark lager type, which makes it worth it!

This doesn't work for me. It has the sourness of an oud bruin, but it feels kind of tacked-on to the base doppelbock, which is kind of inoffensively sweet. The net result, with no funk or depth to balance it out, is a real kind of vinegary simpleness to the flavor.

Funky saison, up-front sweetly floral, finishing with a bit of horse blanket and bitterness. Not totally sure I get rosemary here other than in some woodiness. Leaves the tongue feeling a bit fuzzy.

Not bad at all, actually, athough it doesn't do anything to convince me that the "white stout" style isn't a scam. This tastes more like a sweet-ish coffee blonde rather than anything stout. It's a nice kind of toasty flavor but there's no real depth of body here (maaaaaybe that's the point). It is clean and tasty.

Starts out feeling a little watery; a lightly sweet, tangy lager. However, there's an interestingly bracing bitterness, almost woody, that dominates the second half of the sip. Appreciate the hit.

The most "normal" beer here, it's a sweet citrus/pith hazy that finishes pretty much exactly as it starts. Lingering alpha.

The flattest beer, almost makes me think of a nitro pour. More sour on the finish than the others. Feel murky; I got more of my stout fix from the Conejo Azteca.

Like the Alebrijes, but with the addition of roast and a little coffee. Which makes it an improvement. It's also a little more carbonated, which helps.

A little watery, accentuated by this being mostly flat. A little corn sweetness, with a slightly tart finish.

Tropical hops, fragrant and fruity, dominate the opening here. This beer is bright and crisp and dances on the tongue before resolving into a sweet cereal finish. A little bit essential-oily but it’s nice.

Toffee, butter caramel, wood. Dissipating and dry, this is a beer for sore taste buds. Wonderful.

Extremely clean-tasting pale ale; fragrant, piney, a round, non-specific fruit character that gives this a champagne character. Refreshing, easy-drinking.

A roasty-cream coffee stout, a little sweeter than I'd prefer, but at least there's a dry finish. Lactose?

Cloudy-funky lager, somewhat citrus-infused. There's definitely some heat in this, although it's not as assertive as I'd have guessed with ghost peppers. Of all of these, this is the most drinkable.

A lime-forward hop bomb that also seems to have that coconut overtone present in the Happy Hoh. Also: is not hazy at all?

An intensely alpha IPA, citrus rind, pine, and ... coconut? Almost?? Seems unlikely, but that's the flavor I'm getting.

Amber lager with a significant caramel backbone and aftertaste. Behind all that, a light grassy bitterness provides contrast. It's a very clean and light after the stouts.
