Off The Rail Pale Ale - Medium-high to medium bitterness with supporting malt flavors evident. Normally has a moderately low to somewhat strong caramelly malt sweetness.

Esters are reminiscent of citrus fruit such as orange or sometimes lemon. A low to moderate spicy hop character is usually found.  Bitterness is typically medium to high from a combination of hop bitterness and yeast-produced phenolics.

Scottish Terrier - (Smoked Peat Scottish Ale) Richly malty with kettle caramelization often apparent (particularly in stronger versions). Hints of roasted malt or smoky flavor may be present, as may some nutty character, all of which may last into the finish.

Fat Tire – An amber ale with toasty malt flavors (sorta like biscuits just pulled from the oven) coasting in equilibrium with crisp hoppiness.  Delicious stability - in the world of sometimes-precarious beer flavors – is perhaps what prompted one consumer who wrote us to say, “this beer just makes you smile”.

The Mothership experience begins with a cloudy, pale yellow appearance capped by a creamy white head. Next is the alluring, slightly spicy, floral nose.  The refreshing taste is the result of a gravitational balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation.
