My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
14.5 points overall
-
Brown Bear Ale
Style 4 - Mild / Brown Ale
- 16 points - Beer #27-2205, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Red-brown, low carbonation, big head. Roasty hints in the nose. Smooth, sweet, just roasty enough. Sweet brown finish.
-
Golden Vanilla Ale
Style 23 - Specialty Beer
- 14 points - Beer #27-2203, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Golden, very low carbonation, nice head. Lots of vanilla aroma. Sweet, huge vanilla flavor. Tasty with a white chocolate dessert, maybe.
-
Kozlov Stout
Style 11 - Stout
- 13.5 points - Beer #27-2208, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Very very dark red. Thick tan head. Faint coffee aroma. Pretty thin, big coffee taste. Dry late.
-
Meyer ESB
Style 7 - English Bitter
- 15.5 points - Beer #27-2206, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Amber-brown, flat, thick head. Very clean aroma. Thick, flat, fruity, with a nice malt balance. Served from a nitro-tap.
-
Polar Ale
Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
- 13.5 points - Beer #27-2204, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Golden, flat, OK head. Spicy, vegetal hop aroma. Light body, malty...green. Hmm. Billed as a "Pilsner-style Ale".
-
Thirsty IPA
Style 5 - English-style Pale Ale
- 15.5 points - Beer #27-2207, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Golden, low carbonation, thick head. Citrusy aroma. Big body, sweet at first, with a nice blast of fresh fruity hops. Doesn't last long, though.
-
Valencia Wheat
Style 2 - Belgian / French Ale
- 14 points - Beer #27-2202, at the brewery, September 5, 1997
Yellow, very hazy, nice tight head. Some orange aroma, some spice. Smooth body, sweet. Spices are very subtle.
