The ale is a beautiful clear brown, rather inviting. Aroma is strongly malty and pleasant if not complex. Flavor is rich, malty, with no bitterness or other hop hints. Smooth, delightful, plain and simple, a good beer for a party or as a companion to a tasty meal.

Pours a nice cloudy orange-brown. Aroma is strong, hoppy, some spice hints - it just screams "Drink me!" Flavor does not disappoint - it is rich, very hoppy, thick and mouth-filling, sassy, with a whisper of spice. I heartily recommend this one to any fan of IPAs and other hoppy beers. It's even better on-tap!

The color is about average for a lager - golden-yellow and clear. Aroma is malty and not strong or complex. Flavor is crisp and refreshing, malty with just a touch of hop edge, nothing special but not awful either. It goes down smoothly and easily. An OK beer, acceptable if nothing better is available.

It is a typical yellowish-amber like any number of American lagers. Aroma is not strong and just a little malty. Flavor is OK, better than other mega-brewed light lagers, but that is not saying much! Smooth, not complex, it is a good party beer but not much fun for a serious connoisseur.

Has a nice strong malty aroma with fruity undertones. Pours a nice, clear amber with minimal but somewhat persistent head. Flavor is strong, malty with a hint of fruit and a hint of hops, just enough bitterness to be satisfying. Edgy and lively, this is a good beer for savoring by itself rather than consuming with a meal.

Aroma is quite strong - it almost bowled me over when I opened the bottle - very wheaty, with an odd rubbery hint. Pours a dark amber brown, much darker than other wheat beers I have sampled. Flavor is rich and mouth-filling, like a typical wheat beer but with a strong alcohol bite, as well as some hoppy undertone and again that weird rubbery hint - I trust they didn't mix old tires with the hops. ;-) But seriously. Other than that, the flavor is excellent. Hang Ten is smooth yet edgy, good for sipping and savoring.

Pours a rather pale yellow with a thick but not persistent white head. Aroma is fairly strong and malty with an overtone of peach. Flavor is malty with a nice alcohol edge and sweet peachy hints, as well as some cidery peach in the aftertaste. It feels a little thin but edgy, and goes down the hatch smoothly and subtly.

Aroma is strong, very malty with a considerable fruity overtone, like apple or pear. Color is a clear golden. Flavor is crisp, strongly fruity - very much like a cider rather than an ale - with a good bitter bite and a hint of sour apple taste. It is fairly smooth but does have an edge to it, and leaves a sour but not unpleasant aftertaste.

A deep amber-brown, an inviting color. Aroma is strongly malty with some alcohol nip. Flavor is surprisingly hoppy considering the aroma, not complex but very refreshing. It feels tingly and lively on the tongue and has an edgy bite to it. This zingy ale is one that gets your attention instead of just sitting in your mouth.

Aroma is not strong but has a hoppy nip to it. Color is a transparent golden amber, typical for this kind of beer, with a fairly thick white head that does persist some. Flavor is strong and hoppy with some malty undertone and a fair amount of bitterness. An average and enjoyable ale.
