Style: American Pale Ale
San Francisco, California USA

A nice reddish brown color with little medium head. An interesting taste of rye, but nothing to outstandish.

I should have had this BEFORE i had my dogfish head world wide stout. This just makes me sad at this point. It pours out a dark gold with a reasonable head. Yup...it’s a pale ale. And not that great of one really. It does have some distinct tastes that set it apart from say sierra nevada PA, but mostly it comes out just being more sour and not that great. Certainly not a bad beer, but nothing I would buy again.

Amber color with a bit to much apparent carbonation for the style. Though its description called it a "light brown ale," it was perhaps closer to an amber, with a slight emphasis on soapy sweet hops. Fair, but boring.

Reddish-brown in color with a thin, off-white head that darkens to tan at the edges. The color is odd and it looks muddy. Flavor is toasty, oddly winey from the combination of dry malt and hop flavor. Strong hop flavor, milk, toast, and even some acidity on the palate. Distinct, even unique, but not for me.

Amber body with medium head. It’s an OK beer, not great, but not bad. The Messiah Bold is a better choice from this brewer.

Great copper color with a huge frothy white head. Flavors of sweet, but unimpressive malts. Very smooth and a good hoppy finish. Not exactly sure what style this is trying to be. Not a bad beer, though their brown ale is better.

Reddish brown, with an off-white head. Toasty, rye-ish aroma with a slight peppery note. Big rye bread flavors dominate, with an earthy, peppery finish. Surprisingly good.

bottled, copper hue w/ mild aroma of malt. the flavor is of sweet malt balanced w/ hops, bitter finish,
