Red Rocks Red: Clear bright red color with thin but lasting foamy head. Aroma is faint but balanced with both malt and minor hops present. Hops become more apparent in the mouth. Body is good. Beer is very nicely balanced - a good intermediate beer and "Hops 101". There are some, they're noticeable, but this is not a hophead's brew. I enjoy it a lot. 8.6

Molly's Titanic Brown Ale: No head to speak of. It's brown as a brown ale should be. Initial swallow has a nice malty taste with just a hint of hop finish. Very good body. Finish is disappointing - it needs something more to carry it through. Improves as it warms up - there's more taste. 8.3

Uberwit Ale: Pale, unfiltered yellowish color. Tiny, quickly dissipating head. Coriander and clove dominate the aroma, as well as the flavor. Body is correct. The beer is sweet and yeasty in true Belgian style. Nice citrusy finish. 8.6
