Konig Ludwig Hefeweizen 
Bavarian Hefeweizen
Germany
Aroma: Banana, clove, bubble gum, complex.
Appearance: Light golden with a glowing cloudy haze.  This is a pretty beer.
Flavor: Clove, phenols, complex, fruit, wheat, banana.  Nice body and well-balanced.
OUR GUESS:  We thought this was a Bavarian Hefeweizen.  Right on!

Shiner Bock 
Texas Bock 
Austin, Texas 
Aroma: Light fruit, caramel, toast.
Appearance: Clear and medium amber.
Flavor: Cereal, winey, dark crystal malt, caramel.  Light to medium body.
OUR GUESS:  This one confused us.  We thought this might have been a slightly oxidized Oktoberfest, Amber Lager of some type, or an old Steam Beer.

Bass Pale Ale 
English Pale Ale
UK
Aroma: Earthy, tea-like, and fruity.
Appearance: Clear, bright, reddish/amber.
Flavor: Currant, fruit, light malt, light caramel, light roasty dryness.  This beer also has a mineral profile.  Very nice.

Chico, CA 
Aroma: Pine, resin, grapefruit.  Nice aromas of American hops.

OUR GUESS:  We thought this was an American Pale Ale.  Oh, yeah!

Dogwood Winter Beer 
Weizen Bock
Atlanta, GA 
Aroma: Phenols, vanilla, clove, toast, honey.  Rich and complex.
Appearance: Amber/orange and cloudy.
Flavor: Hint of bitterness with a yeasty, malty, wheat character.  Malty and slightly sweet at first with some bitterness at the finish.  Caramel and fruit flavors are present as well.  This is a deep, flavorful beer.
OUR GUESS:  We thought this was a very rich Bavarian Weizen.  (Which is really what a Weizen Bock is.)

Newport, OR
Aroma: Chocolate and coffee.  Heavy mocha with a sweet nose.
Appearance: Dark black with ruby hints.
Flavor: Vanilla, coffee, chocolate, roast.  This is a malty beer with complex flavors.  It is rich, but slightly dry in the finish.  Bitter and lovely with hints of warming alcohol.
