Ithaca, NY. Ithaca has a nice modern taproom, but I went for their Hoptoberfest event, which was in the field outside the taproom. Great event. They had half liters at that event, so sadly I'm not sure what kind of sizes they offer in the brewery, though you can definitely take kegs home from there.
Ithaca Apricot Wheat Fruit Beer - 4.9% ABV Pete This is fine. It's not that fruity, and not that beery. I was hoping for more flavor. That said, it's easy to drink.

Ithaca Casca Zilla Red Ale - 7% ABV Pete This is not at all what I was expecting here. It is more of an IPA than a red ale, so as long as you are ready for the hops, you'll enjoy it.

Ithaca Dirk Dunkler Dunkelweizen - 6.2% ABV Pete I generally really like dunkel's, and this was no exception. Just a very smooth easy to drink beer with some roasty maltiness added. Went great with the German fare.

Ithaca Dr. Zaic Dr. Zaic IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete This has a bit of odd sweetness to it that's a bit off-putting at the start, but it grows on you. Still, not a ton of flavor, and didn't love it.

Ithaca Flower Power IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete This is nice and hoppy, but I didn't think it was too bitter. Maybe that's because it had subtle hints of other flavors, most prominently citrus.

Ithaca Golden Secret Belgian Strong Pale Ale - 9.2% ABV Pete I could taste hints of an amazing beer in here. I love Belgian pale ales, so I had super high hopes. I could tell the flavors were there, but this is just overwhelmingly boozy. If the booze was toned down a bit, I might have a different opinion.

Ithaca Hopmanian Devil IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete This is a delicious, extremely citrusy, IPA with a hint of bitter.

Ithaca Pacific Gravity Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete This is a pretty great floral IPA. It has a bit of noticeable bitterness, but not a ton. Hides the booze well.

Ithaca Partly Sunny Belgian Witbier - 4.9% ABV Josh Rather tasteless.
