Pretty resinous, woody, bitter.

Very dry up front, some orange-rindy bitterness, but follows through with a nice guava flavor. Cereal finish, but that bitterness also sticks with you. It wasn't specified, but think Berlinerweisse, not hefe.

Rooty and piney, clear flavor but the finish is a bit acrid.

Fragrant and piney with a bit of nuttiness on top. Not a ton of body.

This was really nice as a taster: fruity, tropical, clean. Has a much hoppier punch in a full glass. Grapefruit, passion, fairly bitter. A little spicy.

Unsweet, hoppy but finishes clean. Nice but had just a taste.

Scent is sweet coconut. Not off-putting. Bit the taste is instant diabetes. My heart hurts.

A little too sweet but at least the mouthfeel isn’t syrupy. It’s simplistic but still drinkable, but I don’t think you could easily do more than a taster.

Very balanced hefe, banana, clove, a little dark on the finish but it’s clean.

Exemplary of the style, I think, makes me think of a really dark pretzel that someone turned into a beer.

Wow. Like a sweet fruit seltzer. I guess it's sour, big in all the wrong ways. I don't strictly mind it, bit I don't think I'd pay for it again.

Flavorful, cloudy pale. Primarily pineapple in flavor, especially in the aftertaste.

This is actually a really good example of a hefeweizen. Notes of coriander with a subtle backbone of banana. This is really good.

This is fascinating. Vanilla forward. But a nice base of earthy coffee grounds. Nothing bad. Honestly, I'm impressed. It gets a little musky as I get down the drink.

I mean, if I wanted to drink cranberry juice, I'd buy cranberry juice.

Extremely sour, puckeringly tart in a fruit concentrate sense. Honest blackberry flavor but this is only for those who dig this level of sour.

This is both very English and very mild. If I were in an English pub I'd be happy drinking this the rest of the night.

Sweet, coffee, a bit earthy, as coffee blondes tend to go. Quite vanilla-forward.

Kind of a light IPA. Maybe a tiny bit of citrus/tropical fruit. It's fine, I suppose.

Chocolate/roast porter. Thin body. Strong, bitter finish.

Has the corn syrup sweetness of a lot of American light lagers but more assertive. A little bit of wet bay character too. It’s decent but not as clean or crisp as you might look for in a lager.

Banana-forward, light pepper. Starts sweet with a darker finish.

A pungent pale ale—heavy on the essential oils but remains light-bodied. Lemon-pine, lightly sweet. Bitter finish.

I dunno. Bitter. Almost brackish. Meh.

This is just an easy, normal American beer. I feel bad about that low rating. If I were out at a BBQ, this would be awesome to drink a bunch of.

Maybe pineapple and pepper? I don't find it all that bitter. I'm happy to steal Mike's pour.

This was fascinating, because I've never had a totally flat net that wasn't terrible. I can acknowledge the tropical fruit mentioned in the blurb. Seems fine, but the flatness is just . . . wow b

Peppery, bitter, overtones of sweet pith. It’s so bitter that it Is getting in the way of drinkability for me.

Very banana! It smells good, but the flavor is very banana. Did I mention banana? I don't mind this at all.

Flat, as you’d expect… more citrus-pine than I expected but good flavors… but I still think I’d prefer carbonation.

This is no Czech Pills!!! So much sweetness! So much amber flavor! But it's not brackish. It's more like a marzen, honestly. Bit, for all that, not bad.

Nice, light coffee and caramel flavors with a soft, cola-like finish. None of the pungency there Gravitace had.

Surprisingly sweet and almost tart, this doesn’t at all make me think Czech Pilsner. The smell reminds me of a dry erase marker, which tells me that the hop oils are really kind of overwhelming here.

Like the big brother of the Lil Boots, a little less pointed but more sophisticated.

This is a lot. Burnt sugar up front, syrupy, with a bitter finish that makes me think I’m licking the barrel staves. The third barrel aged beer in a row on this trip that I’ve been unable to finish.

Still don't feel like there's much going on here. I guess it works as a pallet cleanser.

Sweet with almost overwhelming cherry flavor. But it doesn't have the horrible backbone of other barrel aged beers. I couldn't drink a lot of this, but it's not terrible. Oddly, the visual impression is more like a European dark. It looks a bit like a soda through the edge. As Mike says, "it tastes like it should be a lot more opaque than it is".

This does taste like a New England IPA, but with muted bitterness.

Distinctly different from the Lil Boots: sweeter, orange only comes in at the end, but bright and sunny. Enjoyable.

Still citrus sour with a strong bitter backbone. I still think it's pretty good.

Lemon forward, tangerine, cleaner, crisper fruit finish than I’d usually expect from a hazy. Quite nice.

Very light, like a macro lager, with some grassy aspect.

Very light, on the watery side of th me line. But you could easily imagine crushing several of these if you were out in the sunlight.

2026. Sweet hoppy lager, candied citrus peel overtones, but otherwise very clean.

Not for me. So many things going on. Not one of them good. Like a clown car of flavors!

Not as juicy as other times, but still good for a drink.

Way too much, and doesn’t evoke S’mores. It’s thick, molassessy, sweet. Almost exactly like drinking a Fig Newton.

It's fine. There's really not any interesting flavor in this one. Oh well.

This was good. I'd have absolutely no problem drinking all night long.

Just a nice drinkable thing.

Actually mine of tasty. Good spicy flavor.

Does not seem to correspond to the description I gave the original. Banana, light spice, pretty assertive bitterness, a little bit of funk. Nice.

Didn't turn sour like the other two but it does seem a little gritty/cloudy in a way that takes away from the appeal.

This one definitely seems to have turned. Bright, sweet milk chocolate with more sourness at the end. The clash of flavors was unpleasant.

I think this has slightly turned. Slightly sour, some clear notes of caramel booze.

Not what I expected at all… cereal, lightly sweet, with a vinous dry fruitiness that makes this feel very sophisticated.

Pleasant roast and chocolate up front, but gets murky real quick.

Extremely fruity, recognizably pineapple. The sweetness does linger.

2020 vintage. Sweet, especially after the Reuben's. Whiskey. Pretty smooth. Given my earlier notes it feels like 6+ years of aging in the bottle helped.

Still very solid! Refreshingly prickly, but otherwise light.

Way more dry than expected; slightly metallic, very fragrant.

Reminds me of the christmas tree scratch 'n sniff sticker.

Quite roasty, dry, bitter, but as a coffee beer this is very robust. Pretzel-like.

Dry, resinous, bitter.

Pine-tasting pale with just a bit of resin. Dry and clean.

Bright, fruity, lemon citrus. Bitterness/oiliness builds up but this is basically pleasant.

Effervescent, floral, quite tart with mild fruit and a bitter backbone. Not sure I get either named fruit in the flavor.

Strong, bready, sweet, a little bit spicy. Bitter fininsh. There's something a little saccharine about the aftertaste that prevents this from being great, but it's good.

Extremely dry, citrus/mango, savory on the tongue. Bit of spice. Reminds me a little of Five Alive concentrate.

Lightly fizzy lemon-pine IPA. Dry on the finish, a touch herbaceous, very drinkable.

High-alpha IPA, vaguely citrus-pine.

Like drinking a pancake with maple syrup.

Very much not my speed, unfortunately. But if you live in San Diego and it’s 2010, you’re probably gonna love this. Pithy hop bomb of the first order.

Light drinking but assertively roasty. Bitter and lightly tart finish, very clean.

Chocolatey!

Tastes nostalgic.

Danker than the Kiwi. Drying, resinous.

Light, sweet, goes really well with a lime.

All I get is hops. Not bad but that’s all I get.

This has a very nice make backbone to the IPA. I actually really like it. Jet said this is exactly the same as the Gummysaurus. Because he is completely nuts.

A really solid sour.

This is like the Face Smack except they like added Hello Kitty flavor.

It’s fine at first then takes a hard left into muskiness. With all the negative connotations of that word these days.

Very Framboise Boon-y. In a good way.

This is really good. It's just sour, and the right type of sour, not game fruit. I don't even notice raspberry.

This is really good. There could be a little more hop juice in it, but niggling complaints.

This immediately evokes a memory of a different flavor that I can’t place right now but I’m going to call Sarsparilla inaccurately.

Mind of like alcoholic Kool Aid.

Fuschia is not a flavor that I’d have put in a beer, but it works surprisingly well! Could be the summery weather influence.

Peachy goodness

A pretty standard hazy IPA if you’re into that sort of thing

Thank goodness. Still like sour green fruit. Still good.

Smell is like old, dusty, rancid o dried oils. The taste is not much better.

Weird efforvescent spicy with a strange sour hint. I don't get it. It might be thyme and oregano? It's weird.

This is so perfectly balanced. The sweetness from the bourbon and the sourness from… berliner… a power coupling

Spicy and floral, almost perfume-y. Which isn't a good thing for me, salt.

It's not too bad. A slightly lighter, grassier character compared to the IPA I had immediately beforehand.

Rough, brackish IPA. Perhaps the sort that IPA drinkers like

Well it’s s little bland to be honest… not pepperminty or chocolately enough

It's meh. A little bitter on the first sip, like a pale. Thereafter it's more like a macro beer..

I had this after the IPA and I think that was not good for this… the flavors all seemed dull.

Really good representation of the India Pale Ale. Floral. hoppy. bitter

Tastes like a shandy. Lite beer with fizzy lemonade. Not really my jam.

Nice summery feel. Cherry is da bomb.

Strangely sugary and fruity. Kinda cotton candy-y. Not necessarily in a good way?

Delicious. But yeah, sour fruit punch is a good description.

I don't have a strong memory of the old Elysian beer except that I didn't like it. Either this is a big improvement or I've matured in my taste. It's dry, it's resinous, but it's also lightly fruity and tastes sophisticated. Bitter, a little rooty.

This was really good, slightly roasty, enough prickliness to overcome any typical nitro blandness, and the creamy head is hand-in-hand with the overall texture of the beer.

Super mellow citrus IPA. Sweetish, opaque. No bitterness at all on the finish.

Fragrant lager with a kiss of citrus, I think. Sweet overtones.

Sweet, boozy, fragrant with caramel and licorice and coffee. The sweetness is surprising here, and so is the cleanness of the finish.

Nutty, thick, tasty.

Might have been the aftereffects of the Vital Spark on my palate, but this was really astringent, herbaceous, medicinal.

Extremely tart, peachy. Not very funky, more like a kettle sour. Had to take a break between sips.

Definitely tastes more like berries here. It's good, if dry.

Crisp and fruity, if very, very light.

This doesn't tate at all like an IPA to me - more like a lightly fruity blonde maybe? Decidedly unhoppy.

Fragrant, sweet, cereal lager. The flavor is a bit too intense, I think. Tongue feels oily.

Way too sweet, not very coconutty either. It tastes a bit like marshmallow fluff, I guess, but really wanted some more backbone here.

Tart, wonderful citrus punch flavor. Not too sweet, and not fake-tasting at all.

Classic robust stout flavor, slightly peppery hops and smooth, milky-sweet finish.

Coffee, and quite sweet vanilla - almost over-the-top. Boozy and dessert-like, but glad it's a small glass.

Had a better reaction to this than last time. I think the vanilla melded a little better into the overall grapefruit flavor. There was still a slightly smokey/harsh aftertaste that belied the harmony.

Cloudy, buttery, uric. Leaning toward a German pils but with more robustness of flavor.

Light tasting but pleasant amber lager. Notes of plum and date, just on the edge of watery, but goes down easy.

Dry, slightly vinous, peppery. I really like this kind of saison, the only ding here is that I ordered the doppelbock.

Festive and molassessy, this reminds me both of chai and the old Sam Adams gingerbread stout. Cinnamon, cardamom, nothing too poky - easy drinking and tasty.

Absolutely could have been over the top but I think it actually evoked the flavor really nicely. Banana, chocolate, vanilla, booze.

It’s like a beer made by monks and their secret side fling with strawberry blonde hair…

2026. This would be a lot normally but to my mind this is exactly what you want if you're ordering a Triple IPA. Citrus-grape, fragrant, piney, resinous, undeniably strong but somehow also not overwhelmingly acrid or bitter.

A strong, creamy stout. Thick and lightly sweet, chocolate up front. Interested in knowing more about this one.

Citrus pine, clean, not bitter. Very drinkable.

Unsweet, light roast, milky finish. Moderate bitterness on the back end, but finishes clean.

Crisp and dry, with a dry, vaguely citrus finish that adds a lot of character to the beer. I thought it was quite bright and drinkable.

A little more robustly flavored than you'd expect from a dark lager... Very similar to the porter, but maybe a little smokier?

A throwback porter, with some more hop fruitiness up front in addition to the roast, notes of licorice. Like a proto-CDA.

Based on my previous log, this is helped by not being on nitro. It is still a fairly bitter beer for what is ostensibly a smooth (or at least sweet) style. It's neither of those things.

Lemon-pine, strong hoppy follow-through. Pithy. Tastes like can. First class is nice, though.

Lemon-pine fragrance up front, bright and strong, with a sweet lager finish. Very drinkable.

There's something savory/fermented about the smell here; it reminds me a little of black bean paste (jjajang), so you can bet I was worried. Flavor is actually quite nice: dried fig, a decent amount of heat, caramel but unsweet. Less desserty than other Parabola variants.

Chocolate/caramel-forward, very warming. Toasted pretzel. There's a sharpness of bite, rye-like, and a woody edge on the thing, and I can't decide if that's a bug or a feature. My assumption is this will get more awesome with time.

A little more sharp on the alcohol. Overtones of licorice candy, sugar syrup. Quite good but it can't measure up to the Grainshift.

Delicious, smooth and frothy. Graham and chocolate at the forefront; otherwise it feels like everything I remember about Parabola (a beer I have not had in some time).

Sweet with that same bit of musty nuttiness that seems to be common to all of these golden stouts and porters. It was a better match once I got the fish wrap.

Dry to the point of almost being sour, but otherwise very flavorful. Cereal, hints of apricot, grassy, bitter finish.

Malty-hoppy caramel pale ale. Went well with good.

Caramel, smooth, actually fairly sweet. Pretty strongly bitter in a way that counteracts the nitro smoothness.

This is a nice, creamy and lightly sweet porter, but I honestly cannot taste any plum in it.

Not tart, exactly, or savory, especially, but the essence of pickle juice is here in the smell, the taste. One might wish that this was a little more assertive in anouncing its pickleness; I like it, but there's a little bit of uncanny valley in the way it sits at the edge.

Don't know if this is the age but this feels a little lighter in body than expected, very subdued. Really smooth whiskey notes on top, caramel, light booze, but there's something missing here, especially with "toasted" being in the name.

Really tasty. I don't like raspberries, honestly, but what this beer evokes is the smell of a frashly bought box of berries before you eat them and realize you don't actually like raspberries. Fragrant and dry and clean with a hint of white chocolate and cereal funk.

The least remarkable beer here. Sweet and hoppy with a kind of oily resin following through in the flavor.

Surprising and delicious. You have the banana and just hint of white pepper here, present from the other beers here, but there's exactly enough fruit flavor and tartness here to create a profile that's not exactly apricot and not exactly anything else - just a really bright, berry-like bell ring of a flavor. I love this.

Banana, clove, white pepper. Light and pleasing, and the sweetness counteracts the characteristic closing bitterness here realy nicely. I do like this.

A bit acerbic, strongly medicinal herbal quality about this (ginseng?) with strong white pepper and a touch of clove. Otherwise sweet and light.

Flavorful pilsner, cereal, lightly sweet and grassy.

Super-fragrant; lemon, pine, touch of apricot. Very clean and mellow but oily finish.

Really nice and mellow but to be fair it's hard to start strong and work down. I liked it but there's no way I can accurately describe this.

Intensely fragrant, over the top I think.

Boozy, sweet, caramel, slightly tart. There's fruitiness in the lingering aftertaste. As usual, it's a lot, but it's nice.
