I have never liked any of their beer. Every single one has a taste that I can’t really identify and definitely don’t like. I’ve never encountered it in any other beer.

They're really inconsistent, and it sucks. I realize this is entirely subjective, but I think that overall their beers got worse when the new brewmaster guy took over (or at least, when the original guy left.) The last few years have have been a time vortex, so ballpark 8 years ago? Also, their newer labels/packaging is awful -- it's really hard to tell their beers apart at a glance.

Yeah I don’t get their marketing color scheme at all. Other breweries do similar things, KC Bier comes to mind but without all the noisy art. Not a fan.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who dislikes the new packaging. It shouldn’t be that difficult to distinguish the beers apart.

Agree 100%. Beer taste like bad homebrew and the labels are pathetic.

They be using city water. Hold Fast does it too. I'd bet that was it. It makes the pH hard to control and makes things quite variable.

I thought that was it, but also thought surely they must run it through some kind of filter or something, so that couldn’t REALLY be it. City water is terrible.
