They have an impressive array of beers on tap, 19 total.
BEER:
Pollyanna Alt (5.00) – Big, bold, roasted flavor; spectacular balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness; outstanding example of style.
Mazzie American Pale Ale (4.50) – Beautifully balanced; bold and malty with nice hop bitterness in the finish; hugely smooth and drinkable.
Pollyanna Pils (3.75) – Robust, malty Czech-style pilsner; appropriately hoppy; fuller body would be nice.
The Full Lemonty Golden Ale (3.50) – Refreshing easy-drinking ale; medium body, low hop bitterness.
Humpenscrump Hefeweizen (4.25) – Hugely malty hefeweizen; excellent example of a Bavarian style.
Nose Over Tale Maibock (3.75) – Solid Maibock, sweet and malty; increase in the grain bill would improve this beer.
Eleanor Porter (5.00) – Massive roasted flavor; bold, malty, excellent mouthfeel; a champion among porters.
Rose Queen Blonde Ale (3.50) – Very light and refreshing; mild hop character; not adventurous, but in a good way.
Keep it Easy Coconut Cream Ale (1.00) – Coconut overwhelming; poor balance with malt sweetness.
Kiwi Allure Berliner Weisse (4.25) – Presence of kiwi offsets super tartness of Berliner style; smooth and hugely drinkable.
Summerly Raspberry Wheat Ale (3.75) – Subtle raspberry presence melds nicely with wheat character of the ale; not at all hoppy; smooth from start to finish.
Orenda Volume 03 Belgian Tripel (4.25) – Bold and malty; 10% ABV not overpowering; eminently smooth.
Dr Pangloss Black IPA (4.50) – Big and bold roasted character. Very low bitterness. Full and rich with a deceptive 6.6 % ABV.
