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

• Amber Ale (bottled)
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 14.5 points - Beer #22-1878, Kamuela Liquor Store, Kamuela HI, October 7, 1996
    Red, moderate carbonation, good head. Some caramel aroma. Sweet, bitter, not quite balanced. Bitter hop flavor in finish.

• Cypress Amber
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 16 points - Beer #15-1143, The HopYard, Pleasanton CA, August 26, 1995
    Red clear. OK carbonation, good head. Caramel and hop aromas. Pretty malty, pretty hoppy too. Finishes clean.

• Hefeweizen (bottled)
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 13 points - Beer #22-1877, Kamuela Liquor Store, Kamuela HI, October 7, 1996
    Yellow, very high carbonation and head. Nutty aroma. Thick, nutty, wheat flavor. Almost tastes like a rye beer.

  • 11 points - Beer #20-1618, Great American Beer Festival XV, Denver CO, September 26, 1996
    Hefe? It's yellow and perfectly transparent. Clean aroma. Good body, not much flavor.
