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

• Abe Honest Ale (beer engine)
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 16 points - Beer #32-2638, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Red-amber, hazy, massive head. Smells yeasty. Thick, creamy, bitterish - a completely different beer.

• Abe's Honest Ale
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 17.5 points - Beer #32-2637, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Amber brown, medium head. Caramel aroma. Real fruity, floral, bitter. Nice beer.

• Bockbier
  Style 12 - Bock
  • 16.5 points - Beer #32-2640, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Golden, moderate carbonation, good head. Smells sweet, hint of alcohol. Big body, fair sweetness, some alcohol. Good balance. Drying at the end.

• Eighty Shilling Ale
  Style 8 - Scottish Ale
  • 16 points - Beer #32-2639, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Deep red, moderate carbonation, thick head. Not much aroma. Pretty smoky, fairly big body. A little sweetness behind the smoke.

• Harvest Amber Ale (beer engine)
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 20 points - Beer #32-2643, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Bright amber, pretty clear, massively dense head. Bright herbal hop aroma. Thick, big bittery hop flavor, real smooth. Excellent beer.

• Harvest Amber Ale
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 16 points - Beer #32-2636, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Amber, moderate carbonation, good head. Real nice malt aroma. High carbonation, medium body, fruity, kinda bitter.

• Locomotive Stout (beer engine)
  Style 11 - Stout
  • 17 points - Beer #32-2699, at the brewery, April 7, 1998
    Black, thick creamy head. Mildly roasty aroma. Medium body, lots of chocolate, hint of bitterness.

• Locomotive Stout
  Style 11 - Stout
  • 16 points - Beer #32-2641, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Black, moderate head. Smells like cigar smoke. Thick roasty, sweet, bitter at the end.

• Olde Orchard Ale
  Style 21 - Fruit / Vegetable Beer
  • 15.5 points - Beer #32-2642, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Dark pink, thick dense head. Aroma...none?!? Medium body, fizzy. Cherry flavor shows up in the middle and isn't all that offensive. I'm having a hard time thinking of bad things to say about this beer.

• Prairie Wheat Beer
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 15 points - Beer #32-2635, at the brewery, April 4, 1998
    Golden, moderate carbonation, good head. Wheat aroma. Fruity, sweet, malty at the end.
