Brown Ale: Deep brown color with thick foamy head. Aroma is mildly grainy smelling - not hoppy - more like the barley or something else. Body slightly thin but not badly so. A tad vinegary on some tastes - some inconsistency. Hops and malts fairly well blended, but final taste to hit the back of the throat is the vinegar (nowhere near like Ellicott City though). Even with this flaw, I would order it again. It warms up a bit better. 8.0
Na Pali IPA: Classic orange IPA-like color. A thin head which disappears quickly. The aroma is - surprise - hops! No complaints about the body, it's nice and firm. There is some malt taste, but the hops do overwhelm in the finish. My tongue tingles for awhile after I'm finished swallowing. It's a good representative of the IPA style - a little hoppy for me. 8.5
