Crown point brewing

The light: crisp refreshing clean. An local take light beer. Good stuff.
Crown blue: fruit beer with blueberries.  Hmmm yummy. Lots of blueberry aroma. Listed at 20 ibu, definitely leans toward sweet.  Fun to drink.
Pumpkin ale: spice beer. Lots of spice aroma. Some faux sweetness from the spice. Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove.
Crown brown: more roast flavor than the color indicates. I prefer a maltier flavor to the roast flavors.
Going back to it after a couple bites of sandwich the roast mellows and cuts through the sandwich richness. Paired with food a lot of it could disappear quickly
Winter warlock : strong english brown with honey, maple syrup and spice. Another yummy beer. Spice provides a slight warming and the honey and syrup dry it out a little. Dangerously yummy at over 7%
Industrial porter: brilliant balance of roast malt and hops. Slight bit of raisin or plum. The roast is somehow less acrid than it was in the brown. Very well executed. Easy to see why it medaled in the 2010 world beer cup.
