Notes: This beer is about as common as water in this area, so I don’t have much to say about it. Pours out a nice golden color with a head that is promising but fades quickly. Taste is smooth and well balanced with an average aftertaste. The label is boring and overly self congratulatory, I pretty much hate it.

Notes: With a head of snow and a color like wine, you might first think not to drink this concoction, well, you would be right. It has a spicy citrus flavor that is rather unsubstantial. It isn’t that the beer tastes lie poison, and with enough of them, you would get drunk. The problem is that it is about as exciting as shuffleboard. Unless this is your style, pick something else. The label get’s a bonus point since ‘Moses’ is actually parting Lake Erie to reveal the Cleveland skyline.
Not an overly tasty beer but it was damn refreshing. The after taste was just a touch bitter, but not in a negative way. The color stayed true to it’s name.
The label reminds me of home but was put on quite crooked. Think they need to add a little V8 to the machine’s oil tank.
I don’t have much to say other than I plan to enjoy this beer again, ideally after just mowing the lawn.
I don’t really have anything good or bad to say about this ale, it was pretty good, but not great.
I thought I had already review this ale, but noticed my review was longer on the site, so I went to my local purveyor of adult beverages and picked up another one. When I went to the “Mix a Six” section, I immediately noticed a new label for this ale. The new label is much more striking and bold, which kind of makes me miss the quaintness of the one shown in our picture.

Notes: Good cocoa smells and an atractive deep brown color. The head was fairly substantial and hung around just long enough to not overstay it’s welcome. The taste was a little hoppy and had brown sugar undertones. Overall I would say the flavor was average, definitely drinkable, but nothing to write home about.
The label has a clean simple design, using calming colors and a good texture.

Hands down, my favorite beer period. The flavor is magic, the color, luxurious and the buzz, divine. Definitely on the hoppy side, but oh so good! This is a beer you want to take your time with (for all of you out there who usually just drink your beer through a hole you just poked in the side of the can with your dorm key). I can’t say anything else, except I hope this is available in your area so you can experience the greatness of this beer. The label is another story… not so good. The Dogfish label is nice, but I don’t care for the texture or muddy colors. It’s cool though, I put this beer in a Miller Light zip up cozie to disguise it anyway… this way nobody gets any bright ideas to steal a sip of my Indian Brown Ale!! That’s right… always thinking.

Notes: Pours out of the bottle with a small thin head and a nice golden color having moderate carbonation. The taste is light, crisp and a bit hoppy with a smooth finish. The label is clean and makes good use of outlines on the head line. the illustration fits the brand well, which is good, but it just doesn’t make me sing. If that is what the inside of the brewery looks though, those brew masters have a good view that would be a nice vantage point for a thunder storm. This was a good beer for the twilight hours of a late spring day.

Notes: Pours into the glass with a rush of bubbels. Started with a decent sized head but as is all to often, it was gone in a blink. The taste starts off sweet and then quickly moves to a more malty taste with hints of citrus and finally ending with a hoppy, bitter, sweetness. I have a feeling that if I had more than one of these, the mixed bag of taste would grow on my. Initially however I was not impressed.
I really like the label, it has a good sense of humor, and the painted on old wood texture rocks!

This beer has a deep, complex flavor that admittedly took me a few sips to determine whether or not I liked it. The rich, roasted flavors of a traditional Stout is accented by a sharp hoppiness that adds a nice bite. I could easily enjoy a few more of these.
The label has a nice “down home” illustration of a warm, inviting atmosphere that is simple, clean but I feel portrays the image of the beer properly.

Notes: Nice dark color with a pail head that rose quickly but disipated quickly as well. Good flavor with a rich and slightly sweet aftertaste. A great beer to have with dinner!
I like the style of these labels and they seem to reach accross the entire brand. The stovepipe oven is my favorite element, but I don’t think the background works for me.

Notes: On first sniff I get the strong aroma of wine. The first sip passes by without much of a thought, but the aftertaste has a wicked bouquet that lingers in the back of the throat until well after exhaling. Really, for the strenth of this brew, the taste is a little milder than I expected.
The label is rated a 3 because of the humor of the scared donkey. Otherwise image is lacking a sharpness that the taste deserves.
Usually I am a big fan of this brewery’s concoctions, the Commodore Perry however let’s down the “Hero of Lake Erie’s” name. The beer is very acidic and bitter with a taste that seems to last forever! I wouldn’t generally mind the lingering aftertaste if it were a bit better than roasted horse shit.
The label looks to have been merely an after thought, with a graphic that probably didn’t have a high enough resolution to look good on the web.
I have fond memories of hanging out atop the great Perry’s monument taking in the vista’s it’s great lake provides. Now those fond memories will be clouded with daydreams of throwing this beer to the ground below.
Let me just preface my review by saying that I just don’t enjoy IPAs. They are much to bitter and strong for my taste. I understand that they have their place in the grand world of beer and also that they go wonderfully with different variety of foods, but they just aren’t my cup of tea… er… mug of beer.
Having said that, this beer is just atrocious. As Shawn says above, typically, this local brewery delivers, but this foul concoction is barely drinkable.
I can’t even review the label because as soon as I start to, I have to run back to the bathroom to try to remove this beverage from my system…

Notes: This beer has a strong flavor with a satisfying bite. Not overly complex, but wraps the tounge in carmely goodness. This beer, with it’s wimpy ABV, would be perfect for a long night n the pub playing pool.
The label doesn’t match the beer’s prowess however. The colors are garish and the repeating sawtooth line everywhere (including the title font) is pure overkill!
Notes: This is a good ale. Not the best, but it’s good.
