Bitter, rough, brackish.

It's kinda thin. A little more like a pale. There is a bit of fruit character, but . . Almost meh? I guess it's better than meh, but there are better options out there.

It's pretty good. Like a mixture of an IPA and a Weissbier

It's fine.

Bitter and effervescent

Not as awesome as I hoped, but fine.

There is so much going on here. It's like a racecar in my mouth. Not everything in a racecar tastes good. The cherry cough syrup is out of control. Man. The non barrel aged is so much more on point. But at least it's not used coffee grounds in bad beer.

Stolen from Jet. It's like someone took burnt motel coffee, watered it down, and added it to a mediocre Marzen. Smells like you took some used coffee grounds and put them in a lot of water.

Wonderful sweet cherry dark chocolate smell. Syrupy stouty chocolate cherry taste. My only hesitation is that I suspect this will give me a headache if I drank too much. (Otherwise I'd rank it higher. )

Sweet and caramel, actually a lot like a Marzen.

Sour yet a bit sweet. Puckering but effervescent. It's good.

This is good. It's like sweet version of a Czech Pile.

Dark wheat and some sweet. They say banana and chocolate, and that's not too far off. It doesn't quite get all the way to banana, but it is close. After a few sips, it does start to feel a little watery like a European dark, but still pretty decent. High end of decent, close to solid.

It's a little like a combination of a Marzen and a red ale. Some of the Marzen flavor with a bit of the harsh bitterness of a red. I'm torn between Hmmm and Decent.

It's kind of weak. A little bitter, maybe some fruit. There's really nothing there.

Bitter. Certainly an IPA. Good thickness (which I note because I just had a thin POS), but it really doesn't have a lot of flavor (I like the juicy IPAs). It's fine I guess.

Bitter, citrus, but it's rather thin. I guess it's adequate, but it's certainly not good.

Not bad. Slightly sweet, slightly sour, effervescent. For some reason it doesn't quite taste like an honest sour.

Delicious

Decent, there's-nothing-else-I-want beer.

It's kinda weird, to be honest. It's a slightly caramel-y lager.

Dark for a pale. Some hints of caramel. It's almost like a mixture of a pair and an amber.

Really seems more like just a pale than an IPA. But it's nice.

This is sour, almost puckering, but also good.

It's like old cherry hard candy. Not a fan.

Not bad. Bright with some bitter lemon taste. Perhaps a little too much like a shandy though.

Bitter and a bit weak.

It was fine. Nothing really stands out

Dry, a little hint of rye. It's not bad, but doesn't stand out overly.

It's Saisony. I dunno. Don't know that I'm happy to have a full growler of it. Slightly bitter, slightly spicy. I dunno.

Citrusy IPA. Nice.

Spicy cool lager. Very nice.

My honesty first work was "meh". It tastes flat and floral, even though I can see tons of bubbles rising continuously. It's just not very good. Like fake raspberry combined with fake blueberry. And it's not getting better as I drink more.

Fresh fruit and effervescent. Bit of a hop backbone. This is decent, not the best of the type (that being hazy IPA)

Not very good. Just a bit bitter or something, that catches at the back of my throat. Otherwise flavorless and weak.

Still mostly bitter, though not hugely. There's some flavor after you acclimate, but it's not worth it.

Bitterly effervescent? It's just like colored bitter soda water. Maybe like tonic water?

This is a solid, juicy-style IPA!

Meh. It's like cranberry, vodka, and soda. It's not really like a beer. It is pretty tart.

It's mostly just weak.

This is interesting. Juicy like that sort of IPA, except it's not really very bitter.

I thought this was pretty clear. Or is a bit sweet but has the underlying flavor of a good Czech pils.

Meh. I guess it's fine. Maybe it's less flavorful after the Strawberry Rhubarb. It's just a low flavor hint of apple spritzer.

Super tart strawberry. Not really a beer in any sense. It did make me headachy before I even finished. I don't know if it's because of the "beer" or some other reason.

It's kind of like an unfiltered hard apple cider. It's obviously not very much like a beer.

Alcoholic and sweet. I don't feel like it's anything related to a normal spotted cow. It's actually really good, but in a St. Bernardus high alcohol way.

Deep, and thick, and sweet. Very very tasty.

Tasty, just a hint of cherry. No toasty, nutty though.

This is a solid Czech pils.

It's still LIKE a Czech pils, except it's sweet this time. Which is wrong. It's like a marzen.

Uhhhhhh. Sweet. And artificial banana flavor. The bad artificial banana from when I was young. Wow that's terrible.

Bitter like an amber

Sweet and tart and effervescent. Hints of almost banana

Bitter but zesty. A little thin.

It's a little sour. Meh

This is certainly a Czech pils. Cold and clear.

Dry, bitter IPA with no fruit flavors.

Seems like a good brett. A bit tart and almost spicy, clearly not from any fruit.

I fear I didn't notice much of it

Light lagery, slight bitterness, basically what you expect from the type. This is clearly what the old macrobrews came from.

I feel like I'm the wrong person to be here drinking this. It's sweet and bourbon-y on a stout. On second and subsequent sips, I start to get the cherry cough syrup taste. I expect the usual suspects would like it but not think it's the best of it's kind or anything.

This is a bit much. Puckeringly sour, like they extracted it from actual cranberries. It's more like an awesome cranberry drink than a beer.

Dark, tart, reminds me of Quad until the barrel aging kicks in and stabs me at the back of the throat. Where is the option "I'd drink this beer if it were given to me and I didn't want to offend the giver"?

This was good. A nice, light, IPA.

This is a good Lager. Bit expensive.

Hey look, the advent box is back. This was horribly foamy, overflowed badly. I'm not sure I'm liking this. I'm getting some perfume flavor, bit I'm also wondering if that's left over from the nasty gingerbread I poured down the sink.

It is gingerbread, but it's somehow floral. And I hate floral. It's like perfume. I really don't know that I'm going to finish this.

Okay, I can actually taste the sweet peppermint in the porter. I like it!

That's tasty. I presume this is a combination of IPA and kolch or some such.

The peanut butter isn't off-putting in the stout. More like peanuts than peanut butter (which is a good thing). Otherwise it's a thick and heavy stout.

Very very sour, and very peachy. It's a bit too much . . .

Dry and super bitter. And it does remind me of the old Morton Arboretum juniper beer. That said, it's not the sort of IPA I like. But it does seem well done?

It's certainly dark, cocoa, and coffee.

I like this beer

Wow. That's dark and fruity. It's dark fruit, with an undertone of dryness.

Dark, apricot-y, alcoholic. What's not to like?

Actively sour. Not fruity. I guess I appreciate that, but it's slightly much.

Not very IPA, but nice

It's good. Dry but flavorful (you know, and bitter)

I think this is good. But it is very malty.

It's like bitter pumpkin with an aftertaste of pie spices that have give bad. I can drink it. I kind of wish I hadn't pass for it. (As I drink more, it's a bit like driving bad perfume)

It is very sour. The flavor owes more to raspberries than peach I feel.

It is sweet and tart. Quite tasty.

It's nice.

It's a good Dunkel. Dark, Woody,

Sweet and dry caramel. It almost worries me, but it's decent.

It's a fine, mild, red ale. Nothing to write home about.

It's an AMERICAN pilsner, maltlog just doesn't have that option. It's a sweet pilsner like what would come out of Milwaukee. It's decent for all that. Cold, sweet, metallic.

It's kind of sweet and hop juicy. I guess it's a combination of IPA and kolch, so perhaps that is too be expected.

Yeah. It's like it's Miller time. I mean, I don't hate miller. I wouldn't spend money on it, but it's not awful to drink.

I'm between a Solid and a Yum. It's just a really good example of a porter.

Tastes like a pale on the edge of an IPA.

I guess it might be a dopplebock. I think the barrel aging caramel-and-nasty-cherry-medicine flavor (and scent) overwhelms it. It's also possibly a little skunky.

Sweet and syrupy stout. The barrel age is not forward.

Bright, just on the edge of dry, IPA. Strong but not overwhelming bitterness. I think an IPA aficionado would like it even more.

It is sweet, but it is a good porter.

It's decent beer. It's not any better, honestly, nothing to write home about.

It's pretty much a mimosa. I mean, it's not offensive . . .

It's like an orange creamsicle. Or maybe cream soda. Mike Lee is correct as he insists it's more tangerine than orange.

It's good. A little bit of bitterness, but some juicy hop flavor notes. On further consideration, I've increased the rating.

Like a balsamic reduction after cooking a steak. And surprisingly, as a hater of bourbon barrel aged, this was really not bad.

Very dark, a little thin. Kind of a dry roasted flavor in a very wet drink.

Does taste European. But lighter and more effervescent than I expected. It's also slightly sour-beery.

Somewhat bitter, very refreshing. A good pale.

Honestly, it just tastes like an anonymous pale ale. It's fine, I suppose . . . but not the cat's meow. ;^)

Fairly dry ipa with citrus

So, they literally take six minutes to pour this. It's frankly just a decent drink. You don't drink it to savor notes of this or that. You just drink it.

Citrus and Banana, with a backbone of bitter.

Strong caramel backbone, More than a bit like the European Darks that are soda-like. However it does have notes of nutty.

It's pretty mediocre. But then, what does "limeade" make one think when it comes to beer.

Pretty much what it says. The cherries give it a bit of a barrel aged flavor, bit it's pretty reasonable. Last beer from the advent box!

Pretty tasty. But I had a problem in that it partially froze. So I'm not sure the character here is justified. It's sort of sweet and surypy and has no carbonation left. There's a hint of barrel taste. I wish I had an unadulterated bottle . . .

December 22nd from the advent box

Spicy, fruity, not quite sweet. The flavor is really striking, it sparks on the tongue. 21st from the advent box

Still good. Almost sweet and spicy

It's mostly just a porter. It seems like a pretty decent one, but there's only a subliminal hint of any peppermint bark. Actually, I guess I can smell it after hiccupping. So that's weird. 19th from the advent box.

This is actually really tasty. Hop-juice and a bit of sweet. I think this was the 17th from the advent box. Which means I'm officially over a month behind. Where's your alcoholism now!?!

I don't know. There's a little sour, it's not really sweet, but there's also just not much there. It's like a pineapple Bubly that I guess is alcoholic. (December 18th from the advent box)

Interesting, sort of spicy with a definite IPA base

A nice combination of juicy and dry

Wow. It really is peanut butter and banana. Peanut butter on the nose. Not too awfully sweet, but not dry peanuts. Banana and peanut butter on the flavor with a little efforvecence. I think this was December 14th from the advent box. Clearly I have failed at my alcoholism.

Hard bitterness with nothing else. So much for the 13th. Very belated.

This was good. Nothing exciting, just reasonable beer.

Standard problem of something good with something bad. Oh well. Plus it's six days after the 11th

Wow, this punches one in the face. Super bitter, a burnt woody flavor, if you can sense past the bitter. I believe this was day 10 of the advent box. Clearly I've fallen off the wagon.

Like I've said before. Caramel, barrel, bit of aged bitterness.

On the eighth day of Christmas, I skipped one beer, and had it all the next day. This might qualify as a pale at this point, but it's still not an IPA.

Meh. Thin fruit mush.

Tasty, but nothing in particular to write home about.

Yeah, pretty much. . It's rather fruity and sweet, though I can taste the IPA bitterness underneath. I dunno. Faking it with actual fruit is kind of cheating when it comes to beer. It's not bad or anything, it's just not super exciting.

Tastes more barrel aged than I remember. Okay for day six

Bitter, smooth, and a head that won't go away. Seems like a pretty decent IPA. Nothing particular to state about the flavor profile. Middle of the road on the dry/juicy spectrum. Maybe slightly on the dry side. Day 4 of the advent box (belated)

Bitter with this odd dry spice flavor that I can't place. Day three is not the best

Day two of the advent box

This was darkly flavorful like a bourbon barrel aged beer, but without the parts that stab at your tongue like the proverbial scorpion. I was really surprised to like this. Hooray for the Two Brothers Advent box.

I don't know. It seems a lot like a tea.

Cool and bitter. A macrobrew pils.

This is mediocre.

Tasty refreshing kolsh

It's surprisingly fruity.

Very slightly juicy hop overtones

Still a slightly sweet, cold, refreshing beer

This is interesting. I can smell the barrel on it, but it's fairly mild on the taste. It's a hard, slightly bitter sour with no fruit. I.e. a correct sour. Honestly it had a good, complex flavor profile

Still awesome

Sweet, fruity, but not really along the direction of a sour, or even really a beer. It was nice to drink, but not like a beer.

Really tasty, light, malty, easy to drink

Tart and tasty

Bitter, but pretty tasty. It dragged after a while, so I reduced it from a solid to decent.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. It's like a macrobrew, but it tastes good.

Strong juice and hops. Mild bitterness. It's very tasty though I can only take small sips at a time.

Light, lemony. Barely bitter at all. But at least it's not a shanty.

Bitter, little bit of orange. Not bad. Clearly an IPA

This was billed as a pilsner on the menu. My comment at the time: "Tasty. Light. Lemony. Not bitter. I'll admit it doesn't seem like a pils. Light, sweet, tasty. " Yeah, it's not a pils, it's a Fruit and Field beer. Not bad as a drink.

Bitter, somewhere between brackish German and clear Czech. Reasonably heavy and bitter. Reminds me of some Claim Jumper ale, maybe the red (though this was not at all red).

This is actually the best of the Bunch. Clean, effervescent, reasonably tasty. I'd have this again.

A bland, timid entry suitable perhaps for patients recovering from surgery.

Light and easy, nothing more

It is a quad, which I like. But it is also barrel aged, which I don't. Those who like their barrels would enjoy this. I wish one of those folks were around to give my last can to.

This was simply delicious work some home made pizza.

Tasty. Dry, bitter like dark chocolate. Maybe hints of caramel, but there's no sweetness here.

Harsh, sort of body odor flavored. I don't really like it

Strawberry

Sweet and kind of fruity. I'm not sure why this is considered an IPA, but I like it.

This tastes skunky, so I don't know if it's a fair review. It's a fairly clear taste underneath the nastiness at least?

Dry bitter IPA that nevertheless has some of the flavor notes of a juicy IPA.

It's a nice, mild red. Not too bitter or brackish, but not super clear. Feels like it would appeal to the mass market.

Nice think hefe with banana notes.

This is nice. Though maybe I was influenced by reading about the pilsner malt. It was clean, both lightly bitter and lightly sweet. I didn't really think it tasted anything like gummy bears, which would have been a bad thing.

Mmmmm

It's very bourbon barrel aged. Hard for me to drink. But I appreciate my friend for trying. :^)

I think this is a good middle of the road stout.

Not bad, but more like one of those European dark soda-like beer than a real beer beer. I don't expect a stout lover would love it.

More bitter and less flavor than the love of hops. But has a clear refreshing character that reminds me a bit of a good pils, except that there's some sweetness.

Really tasty. Nice flavor balanced by hops.

Actually, I'm really liking that. And that's despite it tasting a little skunked (this is not a great restaurant) It's a nice marzen flavor cut through with a sharp bitterness.

Good.

I think this would be way better work food. OTOH, beer feels necessary anyway.

Initially, I really liked it. The bottle tagline is "Rustic, Complex, Alluring". I'll give it at least the first two. Complex. Mineraly, pretty interesting.

It is indeed Amber. Actually had a nice hard bitterness as an Amber should.

Really good octoberfest.

It was pretty good. Not too sweet, somewhat bitter. I don't know, go drink it yourself.

This was very good. Balanced with notes of apricot and citrus.

It's okay. This time was sort of watery orange-flavored with very little of the hefeweizen spices.

Good. A mild juicy-type ipa. It's pretty good

I immediately said "ooh, ow". So that's not a good sign. It's hard and bitter with little in the way of redeeming qualities. I'm guessing the hard core IPA folks would like this.

I don't know. It's pretty tart, but I'm not sure if I like it. Weird efforvescence, some wateriness, I don't know man.

Light, but kind of tastes fake, like the Raspberry flavor is from a packet. I'm guessing that's not true, but it's how it tastes.

It's like a brunch of Cherry skins have been steeping in some beer. I'm impressed how dark Cherry it tastes.

Honestly this isn't doing it for me. Maybe I don't really like Oktoberfest beers. Luckily for them, the marginal cost of the next 5 is in fact free . . .

Actually tastes a little barrel aged, which makes it interesting. But not too offensive to my taste.
