All "house" beers almost certainly contracted.
House Brews:
Route 66 Amber
Isotopes Slammin' Amber (B)
Route 66 IPA (J)
Route 66 AAA Blonde
Route 66 Stout
Isotopes Slammin' Amber: Medium amber color. Looks thin and watery. Thin head which is disappearing quickly. Can detect both hops and malt in the aroma. Both are also present in the taste. Balance is good but this beer has next to no body. A bit of carbonation and more body would make this quite a beer. As it is, the mouthfeel is almost identical to water (albeit interestingly flavored water). Synopsis they got the balance and flavor right but put it in the wrong package. Almost a memorable beer. 7.9
Route 66 IPA: Minimal head that does a good job coating the glass. Body is too light, especially for an IPA. Color is good - pretty close in color to the amber. The initial swallow is light but fairly pleasant. The hops show up big time on the rebound. It's certainly not the worst IPA I've had, but there are much better out there. 7.5
