We had to get on the cell phone to find the place!
Geronimo Nut Brown: More red than brown. Good carbonation obvious. Hops evident in aroma. A thin but flavorful taste. Not too complex. A musky, vinegary taste, but it doesn't overwhelm. Hops a subtle finish. Malt more prevalent. Body somewhat weak. 7.8
Misfit Red Ale: Fairly light red color. It tastes stronger than it looks. The hops are rather assertive in the finish. Overall balance is good. There is something slightly "off" in the taste - perhaps the beer is not being kept at the right temperature. Not a bad beer but it needs some fine tuning. 7.8
Bad Moon Porter: Becky's notes: Deep brown/black in color. Rich & creamy head. Totally opaque. Wonderful rich roasty aroma. Very mocha-like in smell. Hops maybe a wee bit strong in finish but it is a pleasant end to a rich mouthful. A good balance of coffee/chocolate malts. Well made. John's notes: An excellent porter taste with good balance. I agree!! 8.5
