Comments: An interesting blend of beers bringing together the Czech pilsner with the California-style steam beer. The beer has a rich golden color with a bit of haziness, but not much head. The aroma is an earthy bread crust. The taste is reminiscent of sweet pasty but with a spicy, fruity tang. There’s just enough hops bitterness for balance, but not enough to overwhelm the beer. The beer has a medium mouthfeel and leaves behind a light lacing. This is a well-crafted and tasty experiment.

Comments:
This amber ale is a comforting cloudy copper brown. The aromas include a biscuit scent with hints of fruit. The taste is bready with a peppery finish and a sweet caramel aftertaste. It’s a well-balanced brew that fills the mouth with flavor. My kind of beer.

Comments: A hazy orange beer, with very little head. The aroma is citrus fruit with a bit of earthy yeast. The taste is tangy with spiciness and pepper flavor, balanced with sweet toffee. The mouthfeel is light. Overall this beer has a nice farmhouse aura to it.
