Formerly Kelmer's.
Before April 1993 they were known as Kelmer's, and they were the eighth stop on my nine-brewery Beer Odyssey in 1992. Tons of different styles of beers, mostly seasonal, mostly drinkable.Directions: Tucked into the southwest corner of Seventh and B Streets in downtown Santa Rosa.

Basically same color as Anderson Valley Centennial (6-0312). Dark. Thick white head. Transparent. Faintly soapy smell. Some fruity hops. Good body, nice bite. Good malt flavors, but not real assertive. Finish slightly bitter, sweet. -

Much darker than previous two (Wammer and Golden Pale). Faint crystal malt aroma, fainter hops. (Cat crawled up my allergic nose last night, so I'm probably picking up even fewer aromas than usual.) Almost smooth, but just too fizzy. Not as heavy as it looks.

Light amber, good carbonation. Faint caramel nose. Fruity/caramel flavors. OK but unremarkable. Wheat character isn't very prominent.

Yellow, clear. Low carbonation and head. Spicy aroma, some sour notes. Sweet-sour...very reminiscent of Celis Grand Cru. Reasonably thick in body. Some astringency.
