Samplers $1, pints $3.

Directions: 405 to Wilshire/Westwood exit. Left on Westwood, right on Kinross. Westwood is on the left side of the street at the corner of Glendon.

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

• Bavarian Weizen
  Style 19 - German-style Wheat Beer
  • 16 points - Beer #17-1277, at the brewery, February 11, 1996
    Dark yellow opaque, good head. Bubble gum aroma. (Good old 4-vinyl-guaiacol.) Banana flavor. Pretty smooth and tasty. Low-but-adequate carbonation. SERVED WITHOUT LEMON!!!

• Blonde
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 15 points - Beer #17-1279, at the brewery, February 11, 1996
    Golden, very very low carbonation. Malty, fresh nose. Pilsner-style character. More interesting than, say, Redondo Beach Blonde. Pretty good bitterish finish.

• ESB
  Style 7 - English Bitter
  • 15.5 points - Beer #17-1278, at the brewery, February 11, 1996
    Red-amber, OK head. Grapefruity aroma. Good body, some crystal sweetness, some grapefruity notes.

• Honey Bear Porter
  Style 9 - Porter
  • 12.5 points - Beer #17-1280, at the brewery, February 11, 1996
    Dark dark brown opaque. Good head. Pretty clean aroma. Big and chewy, but oddly light on flavor. Honey sweetness is evident but not offensive.

• Orson's Stout
  Style 11 - Stout
  • 15.5 points - Beer #17-1281, at the brewery, February 11, 1996
    Deep dark red, OK head. Smells of fresh coffee beans. Big coffee flavor and long coffee finish, with some acidity.
