My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
15.5 points overall

• Apple Ale
  Style 21 - Fruit / Vegetable Beer
  • 14.5 points - Beer #29-2338, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Yellow, very high carbonation, thick head. Strong red apple aroma. Lots of apple flavor, lots of malt flavor. It's definitely a beer, not a cider.

• Best Bitter
  Style 7 - English Bitter
  • 15 points - Beer #29-2334, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Dark golden, low carbonation, massive head. Cascade aroma. Good body, fairly bitter, moderate carbonation bite. Cluster hops from start to end and then some. Drying late.

• Brock's Extra Stout
  Style 11 - Stout
  • 15 points - Beer #29-2339, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Very very very dark brown, thick tan head. Smoky, roasty aroma. (Served quite warm!) Thick, chocolately, fairly sweet. Some hoppy flavor and bitterness in the middle.

• Eisbock (bottled)
  Style 12 - Bock
  • 15 points - Beer #29-2341, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Brown-amber, very high carbonation, moderate head. Some caramel aroma, some alcohol. Medium body, blast of alcohol, fairly fizzy. Thin caramel late, then quite drying.

• Gritstone Premium Ale
  Style 4 - Mild / Brown Ale
  • 18.5 points - Beer #29-2332, Hard Rock, Niagara Falls ON, October 14, 1997
    Red-brown, high carbonation, thick head. Sweet, brown aroma. Good body, nicely balanced sweet brown flavor. Thick and roasty up front, pleasant bitterness in the middle, nicely malty at the end. An excellent Brown Ale.

• Gritstone Premium Ale (bottled)
  Style 4 - Mild / Brown Ale
  • 17 points - Beer #29-2331, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    (No glass - drank it from the bottle.) Red-clear, thick head, even in the bottle. Sweet, brown aroma. Sweet, bitter, a little roasty. More bitter at the end than the draught version.

• Kriek (bottled)
  Style 21 - Fruit / Vegetable Beer
  • 16 points - Beer #29-2340, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Amber, very high carbonation, very thick head. Subtle cherry aroma. Sweet, spicy, tart, but not at all cloying, sticky, or acidic. All fruit beers should be this well-balanced.

• Maple Wheat (bottled)
  Style 23 - Specialty Beer
  • 13.5 points - Beer #35-3241, 1st Wines and Spirits, Allouez WI, April 18, 1999
    Dark golden, moderate head. Sweet aroma, slightly skunked. Medium body, big smoky maple flavor and finish.

• Old Jack (bottled)
  Style 10 - English / Scottish Strong Ale
  • 16 points - Beer #29-2333, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Amber, clear, thick head. Sweet, berry aroma...almost Belgian. High-test, dry, malty. Very warming.

• Premium Light
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 16 points - Beer #29-2335, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Golden, high carbonation, thick head. Malty aroma, some berries. Light, big carbonation bite, lots of herbal hop flavor. Malty finish.

• Saaz Pilsner
  Style 15 - Classic Pilsener
  • 14.5 points - Beer #29-2336, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Golden, but a lot darker than Premium Light. Very high carbonation, thick head. Spicy aroma, with some berries. Fairly big body, high carbonation. Pretty clean beer. Some bitterness, not a lot; some maltiness, not a lot.

• Weisse Beer
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 13.5 points - Beer #29-2337, at the brewery, October 14, 1997
    Yellow, hazy, high carbonation, thick head. Very clean aroma. Some wheat flavor, not much else. It's named not "Weizen" for "wheat", but "Weisse" for "white", although it's neither Belgian- nor Berlin-style.
