Marin Brewing
(short notes)
Lakespur, California
All beers sampled at the brewery, August 1995.
| Weiss | American Wheat | * * 1/2 |
| American. Fresh, perhaps a tad young. Not quite bland, with some wheaty flavor. |
| Blueberry | American Fruit Ale | * * 1/2 |
| Berry in nose, fairly strong. Fair enough beer throughout, with a dry finish. Uninspired. |
| Pale Ale | American Pale Ale | * * * |
| Moderate hoppy nose. Dryish, with a fair hoppy profile. Pale, trying to emulate Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Assertive bitter finish. |
| Breakout Stout | Stout | * * 1/2 |
| Nice coffee/roasty nose. Not opaque. Dark, ruby brown in color. Would make an excellent robust porter, but does not have a roasted barley presence in flavor to qualify as a stout. |
