Chuckanut Brewery Tasting

They had 6 beers brewed so far. Being that they just opened that's acceptable.

Kolsch - Sweet, bavariann taste, good body for a german beer. Extremely lightly hopped. Tastes like PBR but sweeter.

Rauch - Smells smokey, tastes smokey. Smoked salmon beer? Once again, this is a lager. Sweet, not good. Too much smoked flavor, it overpowers all other flavors.

Golden Ale - Sweet after taste, medium to light hop, light body but more presence than the Kolsch, very "fizzy".

IPA - NO SMELL! Shouldn't an IPA smell like hops? Too sweet for an IPA. It doesn't taste like an IPA at all. That is all there is to say about that. Boundary's IPA is better and we all know how I feel about that one...

Brown Ale - Tastes like nothing. I know what browns taste like, I don't like browns, but this doesn't taste like a brown. Its not nutty at all. Barely any flavor.

Stout - You can see through it, bad sign. Smells like nothing, shocking. No body, especially for a stout. Slight smokey flavor. Smokey coffee aftertaste? Better than the rest, but just not a good stout.

Nachos and yam fries were delicious. Not coming back for beer again.
