- Duchesse De Bourgogne: 6.2% abv – Surprisingly sweet and sugary, reminiscent of a cider with a touch of metallic notes that linger. Some bready malts also linger on the palette.
- Pacifico: 4.8% abv – Boiled corn and slight sweetness with hop presence to balance. Clean finish due mostly to high carbonation and a bit of lingering hop.

- 1554: 5.6% abv – Slight hop taste but overall it is mostly chocolate and kinda taste like bisquits or bread.
- Blue Star: 4.5% abv- Flavor is crisp and clean. Nicely balanced. A little bit sweet, a little bit tart and just a twinge of hops
- Hoegaarden: 4.9% abv – the lemons pop through along with orange and wheat. Very smooth and fresh tasting. A clean, solid finish
- Big Eddy Wee Heavy Scotch Ale: 9.5% abv – Peated Scotch, Smoked Oak, Burnt Malts, Caramel, Figs, Yeasts, Plums and it’s still got a slight boozy kick to it. It’s got a fairly nice complex flavor and it’s also surprisingly smokey, which one would not expect from this style!
- Hop Head Red: 7.0% abv – Grapefruit in the front with some bready malt mid-palate giving way to a slightly bitter finish. Nice balance between the hops and malt.
- Matilda: 7% abv – Belgian yeast and peppers that are very spicy up front. A sweet dose of fruits follow. Some citrus pineapple, orange, peach and pear with some hints of honey, plums bananas, and clove. A moderate presence of malts back things up.

-
