Re: What're you drinking right now?

I liked it. Good malt base and you can really taste the blood orange and hops are nicely balanced. Wife liked it and she hates IPAs...so not for major hopheads but a perfectly good beer to have a few of

Ransack the universe

Guys I've tried several times to like this one especially since it seems to get so much love on here, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Re: Deep Tracks American Brown Ale

Yeah I enjoyed this as well...liked the higher Ibus than most brown ales but if you're more into traditional brown ales I could see this not being up to expectations re: maltiness

Agree on Clutch...the Bobcaygeon Common Loon was nowhere near as good. Not even close...I'll take a pass on it moving forward unless they change the recipe

Had on tap at king west barhop location. Really enjoyed it and seemed to me on point as to what a farmhouse ale should taste like.
