We chose a sampler of all available beers.
Apricot Ale: Becky's notes: Fresh fruit aroma. Head originally quite foamy and left a film on the glass. Pale gold color. Clear fruit flavor - not many other flavor intrusions. John's notes: Small, light fruit flavor. A nice, clean fruit beer. Thirst quenching. 8.1
Irish Stout: Becky's notes: Nitrous poured. Opaque nearly black color. Aroma like sarsparilla. Body is far too thin for a stout. Flavor dominated by bitter chocolate malts. Needs more hops in the finish to balance it. There really is no finish - it just disappears once swallowed. John's notes: I don't get much taste at all - a slight chocolately taste is it. Very thin. 7.5
Maibock: Becky's notes: Pale amber color No head. Very little carbonation apparent. Aroma is unexpected. It smells like a freshly mowed lawn. Definitely smells like spring. It's a little sweet, a little tart, and enjoyable. John's notes: It's not really a maibock. It is a fairly good beer. It has some characteristics of a Scottish ale. Good body for the style. 8.3
Total Disorder Porter: Becky's notes: Deep chocolately color. Thin, lasting head. Aroma is full of chocolate malts. Pleasant mouthfeel. Body is appropriate for the style. Like the stout, this porter is missing finish. Once you swallow it's "bye bye!". In the mouth it's a very tasty beer. Nice and smooth. 7.9
71 Pale Ale: John's notes: Aroma of rye and hops. Color is a cloudy copper - unfiltered? The rye adds body and balances the taste - it's a nice touch. It could use a tad more malt, but that's a very minor complaint. The hops are there but not overwhelming. A well-made beer. 8.7
