Bready, lightly estery. A little weaker in flavor up front than I expected but does finish with the right assertiveness.

I hate raspberry and this beer exhibits all the reasons I hate raspberry. That said, it’s far from the worst raspberry beer I’ve ever had.

This was my least likely choice but it is about as good as you can expect for a red IPA. Very clean, lightly pungent with resin but no overt maltiness to drag out the flavor. It’s still a red IPA in the end.

Smell is Belgian yeast, white pepper, clove, coriander. Just enough lemon to balance it out, this was a pleasant surprise being that it read the most dangerous pick.

Lemony, bitter, not much body but a bright beer that never veers into perfumey territory.

Not what I expected. Roasty, caramel, thin mouthfeel, lightly smoky? Actually tastes like a scotch ale. Very nice.

Very nice, lightly fruity (banana) mellow wheat. American style it seems.

Nice caramel opening, clean, but overly hoppy - starts a touch dank and process to acrid bitterness, before fading back out to caramel.

Good robust coffee, a touch hoppier than usual for the style, but that’s normal here.

Slightly hoppy, very roasty. As dark as a porter; I wouldn't really recognize this as an alt. "Burnt chocolate pretzel porter."

This was a weirdly off gose - not really salty at all and the funk and bright, straight lime juice fruit don't really combine well.

Slightly sweet, cereal lager with some vaguely fruity notes - enough so that I could almost imagine a little berry in there since they'd switched this glass with the Rose. I liked this very much.
Draft

Did not love. Quite flat from the cask, some cloudy hop dankness, and ... well, I normally hate raspberries and this did nothing to change my mind. So.
Draft

Interesting, and I think in an intriguing way rather than bad. Starts bright and lager-like before turning suddenly vinous and dry. Like a brut lager, if you can imagine that? But there is definitely a weird seam when the flavor transitions, and that could use some work.

Smells of sweet coconut, but the actual beer is not sweet at all. If anything, it's a touch smoky, with some roast. Definite coconut which barely balances the roast rather than sweetening it. Decent, but not among my favorite coconut beers. (At least it's not hoppy!)
Draft

Smooth and inoffensive. On the bright side, it didn't have the poky hoppiness that most of the dark beers here have; on the other hand, it wasn't particularly memorable.
Nitro Draft

Fairly bitter, somewhat rooty. Served at typically warmer cask temperature with also-typical flatness; lots of hop oil collecting on top. Yeah, nah, not so much.
Cask
![](/img/3bl.png)
Quite a bit more bitter than I expected. This place makes good beer, but they do like the bitter.
Draft
![](/img/10bl.png)
The orange in this beer is just slightly over the edge into perfumey, though not nearly to the extent that similar beers from Bellevue Brewing go. Otherwise there's a very orange soda quality to the flavor. Finishes like a good kolsch/cream ale, but oy, that opening.
Cask

Smooth, creamy, sweet Porter on nitro. Finishes noticeably hoppy and bitter. Incongruous.
Nitro Draft

High alpha hop bomb. Nice flavors and not too pungent but it hits you in the face and not very pleasantly.
Draft

Chocolate roast Amber with a significant hop presence. Finish goes from Irish red style caramel to quite bitter in a hurry.
Draft

Clean, straight sour. Passion and orange are obvious, guava not so much. Cereal finish, Berliner Weisse-like
