Brown, low carbonation, good head. Some hops, some caramel. Caramel, too much for style. Sweet brown finish. -

Amber. Thick white head, good carbonation. Fruity nose. Good (unexpected) maltiness. Nice and bitter...pretty clean. Remarkable! -

Hazy, a little. Very nice amber color. Beaucoupx de bubbles! Faint aroma...can't identify anything. Excellent body. Just enough sweetness and just enough hops. Carbonation bite brings out all the flavors. Outstanding beer! Outstanding! Good for hot weather or just for pinting. Outstanding beer.

Dark red, low carbonation, thick white head. Spicy hop nose. Chewy, bitter, and strong. Mighty tasty. "Brewed once a year in March, this is a Strong Ale."
5.00% abv.

Red. Sparse bubbles, good head. Some caramel malt aroma. Mike Deliman thinks it's overhopped, and I don't disagree. Good body and flavors. Cascades are way too strong.
