1,658,008,800 | 4.2 | Mad River | American Pale Ale (APA) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a medium foamy head with not much retention and no lacing. Aroma of bad grainy malt with a weird dirty socks aroma. Taste is one bad concoction of bad grainy malt with some stale hops and a garbage aftertaste. This one ended up in the drain. | 0negative

1,658,008,941.905208 | 5 | Steam Whistle Pilsner | German Pilsener | 2.5 | 2 | 2.5 | 2 | Well, I'm not sure what to say about this beer. I was introduced to this beer by a friend who brought it to our 20th anniversary hockey pool (He's not invited back btw). There was very little aroma in my opinion and very little flavour. The colour was a very weak translucent yellow. What little aroma there was slightly grassy. The mouthfeel was slightly watery, but with enough carbonation to save it. The taste was very weak in my opinion for a beer labelled as a pilsener. Working a short distance from the brewery itself (the old roundhouse at Toronto's Union Station houses the brewery today) and having watched it being built I was excited to try this beer. Needless to say the lack of aroma and flavour were very disappointing. | 0negative

1,658,009,083.810417 | 5.3 | Dogtoberfest | Märzen / Oktoberfest | 3.5 | 2.5 | 2.5 | 2 | The colour is pale brown (25 EBC), the liquid is clear. The two finger head is warm beige and compact, it sinks slowly leaving almost no lacing. The smell is malty and semi-sweet. Notes of rye bread, apricots, flowers and some raisins. Mild clean bitter flavours. It is a bit frowsy. The taste is sweet and malty, as a mrzen is supposed to be. There are some disturbing sweet oxidized notes of raisins in the background. Some vegetables and metallic bitter notes, too. The aftertaste got growing alcoholic flavours, some raw bitter notes and once again hints of raisins. The finish is a bit dense with semi-roasted malts and alcohol. The carbonation is mild, the bubbles small and weak. The liquid is semi-smooth. A tired (Best before 04.07.12) and somewhat oxidized beer. Im not impressed. | 0negative

1,658,009,367.620835 | 6 | Fischer Tradition Amber | Euro Dark Lager | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | A-Pours a clear amber color with a just a little bit of white head. S-Faint toasty malt with some musty almost skunky aromas. T-The slightest bit of toasty malt with a faint hint of bitterness on the finish. M-Thin bodied and watery with moderate carbonation with a crisp finish. D-A pretty tasteless, very macro-like in body and flavor, which is not a good thing. | 0negative

1,658,009,509.526044 | 9 | LongShot Old Ben Ale | Old Ale | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | I must admit that I get a kick out of this little annual ritual. Quite an honor for these folks and a level of brewing I can't imagine accomplishing. So congrats to these folks and let's open that bottle. Pours beautifully into a Sam Adams glass of course. Very clear dark amber color with fairly dense tan head capping the attractive elixir. Lots of bubbles rising. Creamy head with lacing exceptional. Mostly sweet caramel malt with minimal hop noted (except maybe a fresh green quality). Heavy malt, some alcohol, reasonably bitter. Body seems to vary some with some drinks seeming kinda' light and others seeming full bodied. Go figure. Ample carbonation. Good solid old ale. The very quick initial flavor is really quite good. It's a really nice lighter, sweeter fruit (also toast and sweet, if that can be) that is quickly followed by the more raisin, darker fruit before the more solid, heavy malt and alcohol appear. Adequately bittered to prevent excessive richness and some hop flavor too. Not a quick drinker. | 2positive

1,658,009,651.431252 | 6 | Fischer Tradition Amber | Euro Dark Lager | 2.5 | 2 | 4 | 1.5 | I bought this one for my swing-top bottle collection. I almost regret it. Looks a little pale for an amber, eh? Lots and lots of carbonation for this one but it leaves behind a lovely dark white head along with a nice lace. Over all, waaayyy to pale. Smells like Hamm's, corn chips, armpit, rotten oranges and smoky maple syrup. If it wasn't for the Hamm's... Starts with an all right-ish macro base with a touch of walnut. Mmm. But it then goes right to hell by falling into a rotten citrus and a cocktail of astringent chemicals. Taste rather metallic on top of it all. Bleah! Feels light and clean with a nice density. Big bubbles in the carbonation stay locked in and add a lot of life to this one. AVOID!... Unless you have a swing-top bottle collection. | 0negative

1,658,009,793.336461 | 5 | Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager | Czech Pilsener | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Poured into a tall pilsner glass from a stubby brown bottle with a crimped on cap, not twist-off like the usual Sierra's. Clear golden color 1" creamy white head with fair retention,lively with a decent amount of carbination very tiny bubbles stringing racing to the surface, leave a good amount of lacing. Looks very inviting. Delicate aromas very flowery with a hint of citrus,aromas of rose petals with some light toasty maltiness. Very pleasing. Very clean tastes perfumy/flowery with a hint of cirtus. Just a very light sweet malt taste not much mostly hop tastes. Really like the hop tastes very enjoyable. Light mouthfeel,juicy,nice tangyness,slightly watery makes for great drinkability on a hot summer day. A very good summer beer would definately drink this one again. Would like to try the draft version if I could. Worth a try ! | 2positive

1,658,009,935.24167 | 5 | Wrasslers XXXX Stout | Irish Dry Stout | 2.5 | 2.5 | 2 | 2 | A: Served on-tap at the Porterhouse pub in Dublin. A half finger head is creamy and nice, but too thin. Sm: Very, very light scent of coffee and roast. Nice, but subtle. T: Cream gives in to understated roast flavour with a subtle finish. Not bold enough to be truly good. Amp up the flavours, and we'd have a good beer on our hands. MF: Cream is nice, but the texture is off. There's a strange balance between wetness and dryness that doesn't work, especially for a stout. Dr: Make the flavours stronger, and I'll drink it! | 0negative

1,658,010,077.146879 | 5.2 | Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen | Rauchbier | 3.5 | 4 | 4 | 3.5 | I am generally pretty quick to try new things (food and drink) no matter how bizarre. This is testament to that, somewhat. A smoked hefe? Interesting, indeed. It poured slightly lighter than a dunkelweizen, and had less debris than I was expecting. Of course, half the beer is still in the bottle, too. Head was huge and took a good 60 - 90 seconds to fade away. I didn't think the smell of this one was that different from the others (Mrzen and Ur-Bock). In fact, I really had to swirl the glass around and generate a nice frothy foamy cap and get it up in my face to even get a trace of anything even remotely resembling typical Hefe aromas. I like the smell, but I can't detect anything that says, "hefe". It's just a nice BBQ'd pork smelling rauchbier, perhaps a bit lighter all the way around than its brethren. Taste was a notch or two higher than average. I liked it, and would buy it again, but it certainly wasn't stunning. Just a decent rauchbier. The lightness of the wheat is really detectable up front, but again, nothing else that would characterise this as having hefeweizen present. The smoke is most powerful at the finish, just before you swallow your sip. Ah! There it is. This has warmed a bit since I first began this review. Now, when I take a sip, right at the end, there is a *very* quick manifestation of hefe spice that quickly falls to the smoke. An interesting combination of flavours, indeed. The mouthfeel is pretty lightweight and easy to drink, if you like or can at least tolerate the rauchbier style. This wasn't quite as good as I was thinking it was going to be, but I am very glad I tried it and would even probably buy it again in the future. *Edit: I have poured the remaining beer from the bottle into the glass. *This* Is what I was hoping for. Colossal sediment!!! Thick, heavy bits of debris. In fact, it isn't really very dark; perhaps the color of a piece of caramel candy. But it's so laden with debris and sediment, that when held up to my desk lamp, light only penetrates the edges. Nice. | 2positive

1,658,010,219.052088 | 11.2 | Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) | American Double / Imperial Stout | 4 | 4.5 | 5 | 4.5 | Pours pitch-black, like motor oil, with a very tiny cream head. This one looks extremely thick, and the taste does not differ. Smell is very strong of coffee and mocha. It has a very full mouthfeel to it and tastes of a combination of coffee, heavy espresso, oats, bourbon, alcohol, and maybe a touch of vanilla. The flavors mellow together very nicely. This is a very smooth drinker, but a really full beer that will take you a couple of extra minutes to finish. It leaves a strong trace of alcohol, so I will definitely be aging a couple of these to see how they develop over time. If this style of beer interests you, this is definitely one of the best. | 2positive

1,658,010,360.957297 | 5.8 | Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock | Bock | 3.5 | 3.5 | 2 | 3 | Sam Adams needs to stick that pewter up their ass and lower the price of this one, in my opinion. Buying a big bottle, I expect so much more than this beer had to offer. Appearance: Dark brown chocolate with a nicely formed tan head leaves scattered lacing. Aroma: Nice rolling chocolate highlights with an underlying layer of fruity sweet malt derived notes. Taste: Cocoa addition is very evident soft fruit flavors with toasted malt characteristics floating along in there as well, not overly impressed throwing sixteen dollars down on a bottle it better be amazing save your self some dough and pass on this one. Mouthfeel: Seems thin going down not much of anything that special going on, but then after the first glass from the bottle it starts to sit really heavy on the stomach didn't enjoy the sensation at all. Drinkability: Is this beers major downfall, gets cloying way to fast not enough enjoyment this beer has a lot of lackluster marketing schemes going for it, but if you want a great tasting drinkable beer resist the packaging on this brew. | 0negative

1,658,010,502.862505 | 11 | AleSmith Old Numbskull | American Barleywine | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Loads of yeast settled in the bottle before opening, gave the bottle gentle shifting to integrate it back into the beer. A - Reddish opaque body. Small head. S - Sappy malty aroma, prunes and middle eastern spicyness. T - Maple, mildly sweet. Luscious. Malt everywhere. M - Low carbonation, The yeast creates an amazingly, smooth mouthfeel. Lovely. D - The alcohol is so integrated and the hoppyness is so balanced, this has to be the perfect barleywine. | 2positive

1,658,010,644.767714 | 4.6 | Farmhouse Summer Ale | American Blonde Ale | 2 | 1 | 1.5 | 1 | This beer tastes like vomit. No really, it actually tastes and smells like fresh vomit. That might sound rather harsh, but it's the truth. I STRUGGLED through one of these, hoping at some point my palet would adjust to something that I was missing, but no, it just kept tasting like actual vomit. I don't really know what else to say, when a beer tastes this terrible the appearance and texture don't really matter. Epic failure. | 0negative

1,658,010,786.672923 | 5.3 | Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat | Fruit / Vegetable Beer | 2.5 | 2.5 | 3 | 2.5 | Poured a medium brown honey color with a quickly dissipated white cap. Aroma was very much cherry almost like a cherry jolly rancher with a little grain undertones in the nose. The problem I had with this beer is it reminded me of cherry cough syrup. Even though I love the kriek lambics and other cherry drinks, this one turned me off. The flavor was more of the same. If I could have seperated the cherry flavor and the wheat flavor they may have been good...but some some reason together remind me of a medicinal syrup. A little bitterness to help mellow it out. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with a hint of alcohol and medium carbonation. I would not have this again. | 0negative

S: Aroma of toffee, dates and vanilla. T: Flavor is fairly complex, starts sweetish with butterscotch and progresses to malts and light spice. M: Reasonable body. D: Very nice Christmas beer. | 2positive

1,658,011,354.293758 | 6.8 | LongShot Traditional Bock | Bock | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4.5 | Poured a deep amber hue with a two finger foamy off white head. There was good retention and lacing. The smell featured buttery bready malts, earthiness and an herbal hop. The taste consisted of earthy malts, and herbal hop and a short loved sweetness. Very assertive overall. The mouthfeel was typical of the style. Overall an excellent bock. | 2positive

1,658,011,496.198967 | 7.2 | Certified Organic I.P.A. | English India Pale Ale (IPA) | 3.5 | 2 | 3 | 1.5 | Poured 12 oz bottle into standard pint glass. Pours a hazy burnt orange that really glows. Little head and decent lacaing. Ok, this is an IPA? This brew reminds me of an English Brown Ale. I guess I'm used to American IPAs, this one's English. Tastes very malty w/ tones of carmel, toffee and chocolate. Feels pretty thin. The hops didn't shine for me although a biterness is present. Nonetheless, it drinks pretty well. This isn't a bad "beer", but isn't a good "IPA". | 0negative

1,658,011,638.104176 | 8.5 | MN Tan | Tripel | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Style: Infused Belgian Triple Ale Had this on tap at Indulge(multiple servings to get the full experience of the beer). Served into my mini-over-sized wine type glass. Due to the small pour, it really didn't have much head. Color is a clear cherry pink. Very appealing. The brewers said no artificial coloring was used. Aroma: They made this beer with lingonberries, and I can definitely smell them. Cloves, some random spices, pears. Very great smelling tripel. Unique. Taste: The lingonberries are well blended into this beer, as they are not overpowering. Cloves, pears, bready malts. Very fruity, almost tarty. Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation. Light to medium bodied. Very tart and sweet. Leaves a nice fruity aftertaste. Makes the lips pucker. Overall, this was a great tripel. Love the berries in here. I will have to find more of it, but I know it will be hard to. Great brew and I see that it was a great candidate for best in show, as it took the 'gold' home. | 2positive

1,658,011,780.009385 | 4.8 | Kingfisher Premium Lager | American Pale Lager | 3.5 | 3 | 3.5 | 4 | Straw colored with a quickly-dying white head. A little more bitter than other American lagers, and also more complex. It would be easy to put away a bunch of these at a sitting. | 2positive

1,658,012,063.819802 | 6.1 | Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout | Oatmeal Stout | 4.5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Poured from a 650ml bottle with no dating info into my pint glass after letting warm up a little. It was dark black in color even against a light. It had a good sized brownish head that slowly settled to a collar with a bit of film in the middle of the glass. No lacing. The aroma was pretty sedate. It was malty with coffee and choc malts in the background. The taste was really good but also kinda sedate. Really expected more of a kick after ready some reviews. It seemed to be missing that extra something that would have gotten it a higher score. Good amount of bitter finish. Mouthfeel was a little on watery side compared to other Am Stouts that I've had recently. Overall, a good beer that you should try but I still prefer Cadillac Mtn Stout in this category.

1,658,012,205.725011 | 7 | Chimay Première (Red) | Dubbel | 4 | 4 | 4.5 | 4.5 | This time from a 330ml brown bottle bought at the SAQ (I also drank the 750ml Premire version) Copper with a beige head in appearence. A bit hazy, some sediment in the bottle. Spicy on the nose with some yeast. This beer is complex with some nice spices,good malt. Easy drinking for 7,0% alc. I love this beer. | 2positive

1,658,012,347.63022 | 14.5 | Papier | Old Ale | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1 | 1.5 | Two layers of thick and difficult wax cover the cap. Bleh. Wax sux. Bottle 3078 of 4777. Not even a whisper of carbonation on popping the cap. Great. Just great. This bodes ill. Thick and murky flat brown. No head at all. Nothing. Bleh. Smells boozy. Bourbon. And bleh. Tastes boozy, syrupy sweet, hints of bourbon and bleh. The back of the mouth has a cloying, thick something. Slightly sour, hugely astringent. Gross. No carbonation at all and thus wha? for mouthfeel. Drinkability? Are you kidding me? My wife smelled it and dumped hers out. I at least drank 4 oz before dumping the rest of the bottle. 2 for 2 of uninteresting expensive beer from this brewery. I'm so not impressed. | 0negative

1,658,012,489.535429 | 12 | Founders Devil Dancer | American Double / Imperial IPA | 4 | 4.5 | 4 | 4.5 | Had on-tap at Rattle N Hum in Manhattan, NY on 6-29-11. Reviewed from notes. A - This beer pours a nice ruby copper color. It has a small slightly off-white head on it. The head has some good retention and leaves behind some lacing. S - It has a big earthy hop smell. There are big scents of pine, citrus, spruce, and grapefruit. I am also getting a bit of malt peeking through from the background. T - Upon first sip the palate is immediately attack by an assault of bitter hops. It is very bitter with a nice bit of citrus as well. There are also some woody flavors, spruce, pine, and a nice bit of sweetness. I heard this was a triple IPA, and I didn't quite believe it. I now stand corrected. This has a crazy hop presence, but the sweetness really gives it some nice balance. The finish has a strong lingering hop bitterness that clings to the palate and does not want to let go. M - This has a medium body and good carbonation. It goes down easy and has an oily feel to it. It is super bitter and the flavor sticks in the mouth for a quite a while. There is also a bit of alcohol warmth in the finish. O - This has good drinkability. It goes down good and tastes great. It is a little bit of a slow drinker, but if you are a big DIPA fan, I think you will love this. Overall, I thought it was an awesome beer, and I am really glad I got the chance to try it. This is definitely worth checking out. | 2positive

1,658,012,631.440638 | 4.5 | Big Flats 1901 | American Adjunct Lager | 2 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Poured into a pint glass. This beer is light yellow and fizzy. It doesn't have much smell. Grainy and metallic. It's adjuncty and sweet. Not very hoppy. As it warms it gets worse. It's watery and fizzy. Overall, it's better than Big Flats Light, but that's not a stretch. | 0negative

If your looking to kick yourself in the nuts , but don't have the courage. Just drink a bottle of this , because the results would be the same eh! | 0negative

1,658,012,915.251055 | 8.1 | Frank Double IPA | American Double / Imperial IPA | 4 | 5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | Stubby 12oz. bottle with screened graphics. Huge thanks to AKSmokedPorter for parting with one of these, and to HoppedUp for sharing his hard-to-acquire supply. Pours a murky...cloudy dull honey-orangish in color. Scant, almost non-present layer of white head. Barely any lacing of the glass. Teensy amount of escaping gas when I popped the cap. Nose? Holy crikey. A hop-head's wet dream this one is. All sorts of green leafy hops soaked in pine oil and drizzled with sugary citrus juice, with a twist (and a BIG one at that) of grapefruit juice for good measure. Suprised was I with the first taste. VERY sweet up front, and is quickly balanced and somewhat overtaken by the hops explosion. The hop influence never gets out of hand...rather it feels like it is tugging and straining at the malt leash. A delicate balance that favors the bitterness. Finish sees a prickly carbonation "fizz" mixed with a honey-sugary sweet phase that slowly fades into a bitter oily pine resin on your palate. ABV is cloaked in everything going on with this beer. Not as big and chewy as expected, but it's so well-balanced that it doesn't need to be. Carbonation level is just right, adding a little bubbly to the mouthfeel. Extremely drinkable, though I savored every drop of this rare gem. A gem and one I'll remember for a L-O-N-G time. | 2positive

1,658,013,199.061473 | 7 | Racer 5 India Pale Ale | American IPA | 4 | 4 | 4.5 | 4 | A: Poured from a 22oz bomber into an imperial pint glass. Color is a light, coppery amber, slightly cloudy. Very little head. S: Really nice nose. Usually I'm pretty bad at differentiating citrus variants, but I have to agree with the other reviewers that there's a definite, specific grapefruit aroma here. Also maybe a tiny bit of lemon and pine. T: Very nice. Initially both hoppy and fruity at the same time, with wheaty, grassy notes as well. Slightly bitter finish and aftertaste. My palate adapted really quickly to this one, though (maybe it was all those deep inhalations trying to pinpoint the nose?), and by the fifth or sixth sip it was basically a smooth hop delivery system. M: Also good. Smooth without being creamy. Carbonation is very subtle (which I guess explains the minimal head), makes for a highly drinkable brew. Overall this beer reminds me a lot of the fabulous Stone Ruination IPA. It's a little less complex and more straightforward in its flavor profile, but both beers have a terrific fruity nose and sustained drinkability despite their hoppiness. I'll think of this as Ruination's little brother, which is quite a compliment. | 2positive

1,658,013,340.966682 | 8.5 | Founders Dirty Bastard | Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy | 4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | Dark brown, and Ruby highlights with a medium, light-tan head. Aroma very malty, a touch of caramel, dark fruits. Flavor also very malty; brown sugar, fruits, Caramel and lightly sour.Nice smooth velvety texture. Almost too sweet, but I keep buying it. The taste is that good. | 2positive

1,658,013,482.871891 | 11.5 | Griffin's Bow | American Barleywine | 3.5 | 2 | 3 | 2.5 | Batch # 1. Pours a clear apple juice color with a 2 inch foamy orange-white head that settles to a small cap. Thin foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Off the bat, the smell is pretty suspect with some weird vegetal and rotten pineapple aromas. There is some malt and brown sugar too but they don't do anything to help out the overall smell. Taste is exactly like the smell along with some vanilla and oak flavors. There is a mild bitterness that lingers on the palate after each sip. This beer has a higher level of carbonation with a crisp and bubbly mouthfeel. Overall, I really don't care for this barleywine. The veggie aroma and taste pretty much kills this one for me. | 0negative

1,658,013,624.777099 | 4.5 | Maple Nut Brown Ale | American Brown Ale | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3 | Bottle into (real) pint glass in high altitude Denver, CO. A: Pours a dark brown non-transparent colour with a three finger head of decent retention and thickness. The head is a bit tan. Generally appealing. Sm: Nutty but a bit dormant. The barley is masked. Unpronounced but not unpleasant. T: Clean open to maple/nut body (shocker!) with a nicely nutty finish. Better than the smell and better than expected. Mf: Too smooth, too wet. Dr: Not bad at this price range, but better beers can be had in this style. | 0negative

1,658,013,766.682308 | 6.5 | Dead Guy Ale | Maibock / Helles Bock | 4 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 4 | Pours a light burnt orange color, reminiscent of a sunset on the horizon. Really beautiful when held up to the light, with a great stark white soapy looking head, that leaves a decent ring of lace on the glass. It has a nose of sweet malt, citrus hop, some bread and yeast character and hints of coriander, maybe even some wheat notes. As usual the sweet malt strikes first, followed by some citrus and bread that converge into a floral hop taste with a minor bitter finish. This is a nice and crisp beer with a light to medium mouthfeel with good carbonation. Very well balanced beer, with a good malt backbone and a strong hoppy prescence. This is very visually appealing beer with a constant head and lace throughout that keeps it attractive till the end. The taste is equally appealing, with a great blend of sweet and floral flavors that keeps it complex, while it still something that can be drank in quantity, which is a hard balance thing to achieve in beer. | 2positive

1,658,013,908.587517 | 7.7 | Scratch Beer 29 - 2010 (NBPA) | Belgian IPA | 5 | 4 | 4.5 | 4.5 | Fermented with Westmalle yeast and aged for twelve days in virgin Pennsylvania Oak barrels. Afterwards, dry hopped for two-weeks with Willamette and Hersbrucker hops! A-Hazy, copper kissed, golden yellow with a billowing white head that settles like a thin cap of meringue and leaves caking lace. Vigorous carbonating adds to the beauty. S-Orange, must, spicy hop with oak dryness and a touch of black pepper. Note super aromatic but to say it is mild would be lying. T-Whoa! An intense spiciness exudes from the hop and yeast combination. Light grassy notes and a touch of orange rind bitterness in the background. The oak dryness is subtle at first but builds and certainly adds its astringency to the mix. M-Medium-light bodied, very sharp and crisp and the high carbonation level pricks your tongue in the finish. D-Outstanding. While I would prefer a bit more citrus flavour I cannot find much at fault with this brew. An excellent product and quite possibly my most favorite Scratch beer to date! | 2positive

1,658,014,050.492726 | 4.5 | Dundee Original Honey Brown Lager | American Amber / Red Lager | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 12 oz bottle poured into pint glass Pours a burnt golden with a buoyant head, retaining nicely with rings of lacing around the glass. Unfortunately this is where the magic ends. Sweet honey, toasted grain and bread along with caramel malts in the nose, including a weird metallic scent. Fairly bland up front, with hints of roasted malt and light sweetness. There's some soft honey sweetness in the middle, although there isn't much else there. Finishes with some super faint hops and a bit of lingering sweetness. Light bodied, medium carbonation, slight chewiness. I guess it's smooth drinking, but the sub-par flavor doesn't really help anything. If I'm going to drink something this weak, I'd rather go with a light beer and just forget any attempt at poor flavor. | 0negative

1,658,014,192.397935 | 6.1 | Hop Hearty Ale | American IPA | 4 | 4 | 1.5 | 2.5 | This beer pours a semi-cloudy pale amber color. The head is one inch in height and recedes slowly into nice lacing. The aroma is of citrus with underlying pine. The taste is a lot more piney than the aroma indicates it should be. The mouthfeel is horrible. Even though this beer formed a nice head, it has absolutely no carbonation. It is also very oily, masking the flavor. Overall, this beer has a very nice appearance and aroma, but the mouthfeel and taste make it nearly undrinkable. | 0negative

1,658,014,334.303144 | 7.2 | Belgica | Belgian IPA | 2.5 | 4 | 3 | 3.5 | Don't know what to think about this one. Pours a wimpy pale yellow. Minimal head but there is some lacing lent on the glass. Looks more like soap scum. Smells of Belgian spices along with some piney, and citrusy hops. No smell is dominant and no smell is out of proportion. Since I'm fairly new to Belgian IPA's I think it is average at best. No real outstanding qualities to brag about. Hops are very muted as are the spices. The flavors are in there but the volume is too low. Feels watery in the mouth. No alcohol burn and none of that peppery feel I like. On the other hand, if the alcohol was lower this could be really sessionable. I keep reaching for this even though I don't have much to brag about it. Maybe I like it more than I think I do? Nah. | 2positive

A: Pours a red ale with moderate carbonation that produces a 1/2 inch white head that quickly dissipates. S: Caramel malt. Hint of hops. Pretty basic. T: Dry hoppy bitterness overpowers the rest of the beer...disappointing. M: Oily, smooth. Acidic and bitter. D: One of my least favorite beers from an otherwise quality brewer. | 0negative

1,658,014,760.01877 | 8.6 | Faxe Strong | Euro Strong Lager | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 2 | Pours a palid gold color with lots of big carbonation bubbles and a crackly flash in the pan head. The aroma is boozy and lightly malty. The taste is sweet and, as the nose betrayed, very boozy for 8%. Some cooked veggie notes and noticeable in the background. The mouthfeel is full and a bit numbing from the booze. The finish is sweetish and, alas, boozy. Not a very good strong lager. There are many other beers of this strength and price that are more drinkable. | 0negative

1,658,014,901.923979 | 5.6 | 1554 Enlightened Black Ale | Belgian Dark Ale | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 3 | On reccomendation from some fellow Colorado BA's that have noticed I haven't taking a liking to the first two New Belgium brews I've tried. I hunted this one down at Wally's in Westwood. Fresh sample as the best before date is 5 months from now. Pours a dark brown with a purpleish pinger around the edges. Sticky off white lacing sits above a medium range of carbonation and a solid body. This has some stout qualities to it, in that its heavily malted, dark, chocolate and dry at points. Chalky finish that lingers, no real cleansing to this at all. I was hoping for that belgian yeast that is so evident in their beers or something spicey along the way but I just didn't get any of that. Once again to each their own, but for some reason the malt presence in this breweries beers comes across with a slightly musky, wet cardboard deal, although this one is masked a bit by being more roasted. Notes: Seemed like a stout but whatever, style classification is not important, what is important is it was uninteresting. | 0negative

1,658,015,043.829188 | 4.73 | Jacob Best Pilsner | American Adjunct Lager | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1.5 | There are two kind of cheap American macros, ones that are barely tolerable and ones to avoid at all costs. This is the latter. Despite its cheapness, it has all the drawbacks of horrible beer. A seethru, pale gold color. A grainy, metallic, corn smell with some morning dew thrown in there to round it out. A light, watery, airy body with no discernible hop or malt presence other than a dry backbite that just wears down the tastebuds and makes the beer has no taste after a couple. This is for when you are on the MEGAcheap. | 0negative

1,658,015,185.734396 | 11 | Tröegs Mad Elf | Belgian Strong Dark Ale | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 2.5 | This bottle was provided in trade from GCBrewingCo. It's been a while since the trade, but I figured this one would be better saved for the first snowfall of the year at the very least. It surely has enough staying power at 11% considering that it's the 2004 release, but this beer is quite questionable to say the least. Pours to a very dark burgandy brown with absolutely no head. I put some serious distance between the bottle and the tulip glass while pouring, but all I got were a few clear air bubbles. Obviously no lacing, and the carbonation couldn't be seen if it were there. This isn't necessarily surprising with such a high ABV brew, but I usually get at least a head-like film. The nose is absolutely saturated with a raisin and fig aroma with a bit of ginger and/or allspice and cinamon. The cherries are also evident behind all the figs. The beer tastes like molasses, honey and cherries, with aforementioned spicing. A bit piney even. Not one of my favorite mixtures of flavor. It seems like they took all of the flavors associated with christmas and went overboard trying to cram as much of that shit as they could into a 12 ounce bottle. The results are quite devastating to the tastebuds, and I'm not one to rate a beer well based on style even though I thought it was utter shite. The mouthfeel is water and distant. What does this "distant" nonsense mean in terms of mouthfeel? Well, I can't seem to taste much of anything but mild sour cherries until I swallow, and then the burst of flavors hits all at once, confusing the palate. The finish is dry and lingers like a port wine, grape flavor and all. I feel like I've been duped. This is a wine, not a beer! No offense to GCBrewingCo, if he happens to be reading this (I've already thoroughly enjoyed everything else from that trade), but I am not impressed at all by this beer. In fact, this is the type of thing that put me off from holiday beers last year, but I am going to stay the course for this year. | 0negative

1,658,015,327.639605 | 7.6 | Buffalo Brown Ale | American Brown Ale | 3.5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Purchased at the exceptional Vintage Cellar Blacksburg. 2.10 for the 12oz single. 1 Liter bottles available as well. My second offering from this small local brewery, and I must say, I am really pleased with this one. Almost a stronger more potent version of Legend's Brown ale this beer strikes a good balance of hops/ malt for me. Poured into a non descript pint glass, this beer has a diet coke like apperance. A product of the roasted malts maybe? But Im digging it. The smell is really dominated by the hoppiness, but the malt comes thru in the taste and the mouth feel. A really good beer, happy to have this as a local option. | 2positive

1,658,015,469.544814 | 5 | Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout | Oatmeal Stout | 3.5 | 3 | 3.5 | 4 | The last bottle from a Samuel Smith gift box, poured into it's branded pint glass. The pour looks thinner than I was expecting for an oatmeal stout. An opaque, black body retains a thin cover of mocha coloured head. Tons of dust/must (box of old clothes from the attic) up front on the nose while it's cold straight out of the fridge. A little cheese, some dark malt, apple juice, light caramel. As it warms, milk chocolate emerges along with more of a roasty character. I don't know what to make of this one. As odd as that combination may sound, it doesn't smell at all bad; though it's definitely unexpected. This is nothing like what I was expecting. I like it but it's completely different from any other oatmeal stout I've tried. I actually did a double take looking over at the bottle to make sure I was drinking what I thought I was drinking. Lots of apple cider-like sweetness, light flavours of roasted malt, Samuel Smith well-water minerals (I love the character of their water; very distinctive), dark earthy hops. Subtle on the oat presence. Most of the stout character to be found here is on the finish with lots of dusty cocoa to dry your mouth. Actually as I drink this beer I'm enjoying the cocoa finish more and more; the cocoa really intensifies as it warms. For an oatmeal stout I find this to be too thin-bodied. A decent medium body nonetheless with very light carbonation. I'd have to say this beer is drinkable more than anything else. Not really what I'm looking for in an oatmeal stout but it is fairly tasty and would totally be sessionable. I had been wanting to try this beer for a while and was hoping to be blown away; I'm a big fan of their imperial stout and brown ale. Sadly I'm only left thinking it was all right. I'd drink it again but won't be seeking it out. | 2positive

1,658,015,611.450023 | 6.6 | Cellar Door | Saison / Farmhouse Ale | 4 | 4 | 4.5 | 4 | Split with JayAre46, thanks for sharing broseph. Poured a hazy light honey color with 3 fingers of fizzy white head. Slowly receded into a semi thin ring. The smell of this beer is very interesting. Getting alot of barnyard funk, citrus notes and mint like qualities. I can only assume that this is from the white sage that they used... smells delicious and refreshing Taste follows the nose but holy shit this is a clean and crisp beer. Mouthfeel is light in body and extremely carbonated. It feels like thousands of needles stabbing your tongue with each sip. Very clean and dry finish Overall, this is a cash money Saison. Wish it was available here because I would crush this on the reg all summer long. | 2positive

Aroma: awfully sweet, and just a bit bitter. Loads of fruit, apricot, peach, apple, melon, cherry, berry... Taste is smooth, sweet, but never too much so...bit thin in the mouthfeel, with a shortish finish. Bit too bland in the flavor, cherry-ish, but, still, ...lays there. Wish it were hoppier, but whatchagonnado...decent for drinking, but probably not, for me, worth the $4.49 a bottle I had to plunk down. | 2positive

1,658,015,895.260441 | 4.5 | Alpine Glacier Lager | American Pale Lager | 2 | 1 | 2.5 | 2 | The pour was a cloudy yellow with alot of carbonation bubbles rising throughout the drink. Had absolutely no head. The smell was difficult to find. Once the beer warmed slightly it had a light skunk smell. The taste was nothing but water. Hell, I've had low carb beers with more flavor. I hope I got a bad bottle. It almost tasted like melted glacier that had been dry hopped with kent goldings. The beer was refreshing, but so is water. I'm sorry I tried to find something good about this beer but I just couldn't. I hope I just caught a bad bottle or a bad batch. | 0negative

1,658,016,179.070858 | 10 | Rudyard's Rare Barley Wine | English Barleywine | 2.5 | 3.5 | 1 | 2 | Poured into a pint glass at 45 degrees. Appearance: There is no head to speak of, I forced the poured and still ended up with nothing. The color of the beer is a medium to a dark brown color. There is some effervescence visible on the side of the glass. Nose: A medium dark roasted malt, with some fruity characters, floral, toffee, caramel, and some phenols. The fruity characters are dried cherries, and raisins. There are some bready and yeasty notes. Taste: The flavors is roasted malt, dried cherries, caramel, burnt character, phenols, solvents, yeast, bready, and some caramel. Mouth feel: There is some carbonation and some stickiness. Overall: This beer is a drain pour. It has a terrible stickiness and just linger on the tongue too long. I didn't like this beer. | 0negative

1,658,016,320.976067 | 6 | Fischer Tradition Amber | Euro Dark Lager | 3.5 | 2.5 | 3 | 1.5 | A: Clear amber bordering on a darker brown with miles and miles of tan, frothy head. S: Some sweet malts with a generic hop smell floating in the background. T: Sweet malts followed by a harsh phenolic bite that can described as nothing else than the taste of rubbing alcohol. I'm guessing this is supposed to be the hop bitterness, but strangely enough I don't detect any flavor characteristic of hops, only a metallic chemical backwash. M: Medium carbonation with just enough body to be a step heavier than the usual lager. D: There aren't many redeeming qualities to this beer, and especially not in the taste. I don't think I'll have another. | 0negative

A light maltiness does a good job of balancing. Finish is nice and bitter and is agood ending for this beer. Great easy drinking beer. | 2positive

1,658,016,604.786485 | 5.2 | Headstrong Pale Ale | English Pale Ale | 3.5 | 2.5 | 2 | 2 | Found this one perched on the shelf at my local Trader Joe's. Another "one-buck wonder" that I decided needing trying. Headstrong Pale pours an orangy-apricot color with a listless white head that instantly settled to a thin skim. Smells of lemon citrus and tea. Very mild. Some hops but little to no malt scents. Has a vague minty aroma. Is this a beer or did I accidently buy a Lipton iced tea? Tastes rather bitter and sour. Bitterness dominates and there's little, if any, malt flavor. Has a faint spiciness in the finish. Actually, it's pretty weak and sour.l Feel is thin and watery. Well, this beer only cost me a buck so I don't feel too cheated. However, this beer has more qualities of watered down iced tea than beer. For a buck a beer, I felt it needed to be tried. For a buck a beer, it doesn't rate regular drinking. | 0negative

1,658,016,746.691694 | 4.5 | Copper Bell Lager | American Adjunct Lager | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 2 | Can purchased from the bargain singles section of Whole Foods in Los Altos, CA. Pours a flat, light and extremely clear yellow. Yes, yes, urine is what it looks like. The frothy white on the top could also be the product of a particularly enthusiastic pee, foaming and pungent as it looks. Lacing is patchy, but solid enough. Pretty decent body to it, actually. Eh. Nose is clean, but slightly sweet with corn adjuncts. There's perhaps the slight clean note of some greenery suggesting some kind of hop addition (at least waving it over the kettle at some point). It's bright and clear, but very generic indeed. Taste is non-existent. Really, it's so bland and light as to be almost like drinking slightly carbonated water. A little husky sweetness on the back, perhapsin a clean, nothing way. Really, it's so lame, so flavourless. Feel is light as well, making you wonder whether you're actually drinking anything. Drinkable in that way dishwater is drinkable. You could if you had to, but why would you want to? | 0negative

1,658,016,888.596902 | 5.8 | Samuel Adams Irish Red | Irish Red Ale | 4.5 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Poured this into a Sam Adams pint at 54 degrees. It had a deep burnt sienna translucence with an off white foamy head. The head eventually dissipated to a very thin lace. The foam clung to the sides of the glass. It had a pale ale quality. Dry finish. No real malt support the hops. This beer's two main qualities were its appearance and drinkability. The beer had a really nice reddish color and it went down easily enough. In fact the beer was in my glass one minute then gone the next, leaving me thinking, "where the hell did my beer go?" Overall I thought it was a little forgettable. This was a C+ on taste and smell - my score on appearance probably helped it get a B-. It was not a bad Irish Red, but it certainly has not been my favorite. Worth a try, but I will probably not be revisiting it - time to move on. | 2positive

1,658,017,030.502111 | 11 | Choklat | American Double / Imperial Stout | 4 | 5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | Pours out a matte black color with a dark tan, creamy head that leaves awesome lace but doesn't have great retention. The aroma is hands down the best thing in the whole world. Straight dark chocolate in the nose, and I mean seriously heavy dark chocolaty aroma. A tad bit of alcohol come through also, but I expect that with 11%ABV. In the mouth, more dark, bittersweet chocolate, burnt malt, and I can barely - just barely - get some bitterness from the hops (chinook is a strong one). In the mouth it is silky and heavy yet the carbonation keeps it form being overwhelming. What a phenomenal beer! ST kicks major ass. | 2positive

This is just their horrible Boston Lager with a different label. Taste, smells, and looks exactly like Boston Lager.

1,658,017,314.312529 | 17.5 | Samuel Adams Triple Bock | American Strong Ale | 3.5 | 4 | 3 | 2.5 | Picked up a bottle of this for four dollars despite being rather apprehensive about trying it. Split with a friend, poured into a snifter at cellar temperature. A: Very thick, viscous dark brown liquid with no head whatsoever. Coats the inside of the glass. Impressive to look at it, though not quite appealing. S: Incredibly strong and potent. I can smell this from across the room. Blend of molasses, chocolate, soy sauce, and alcohol. Made me slightly gag at first, regardless, very impressive, strong and complex. T: More tolerable than expected from the appearance/smell and what I had previously read. Very sweet, almost soy sauce like, however molasses and chocolate flavors also come through with some dark fruit notes. Very sweet, sticky lingering aftertaste. Mouthfeel is very thick and viscous (obviously) with little carbonation. Alcohol is surprisingly tolerable. This is obviously a sipper and I wouldn't call this a drain pour, but I was unable to finish my half of the bottle. Also, the sediment that washed out of the bottle after drinking was very unappealing, glad I didn't see that before drinking. | 0negative

I looked down at the bottle and noticed that it was brown rather than the usual green. I looked at the labeldesparados? WTF? I looked around the joint and as some sort of New Kids like song started playing all these French and Arab kids starting dancing like Michel Stipes circa 1987. I couldnt figure out why they were acting so ridiculous until I looked at their hands. Desarados everywhere. Everybody was drinking these things, even the Arabs and Arabs dont drink. I suddenly realized that I was in the Twilight Zone so I got the F out of there and rinsed my mouth out with a tall boy can of Bavaria 8.0 that I bought off an Anarchist bum on the corner. | 0negative

Pours slightly hazy bright golden straw color with a nice 1 finger fairly dense bright white head with decent retention that reduces to a thin ring of lace. Good amount of carbonation streaming up from the bottom of the glass. A small amount of lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of big tart apple, grape, lemon zest, grass, wheat, and some funk. Excellent aromas here with good strength as well. Taste of spices, bread, grainy wheat, lemon zest, tart apple, and a bit of funkiness. Has a dry finish; but there are some light lingering notes of bread, spiciness, wheat, and lemon zest for a bit. Medium-high carbonation and fairly light bodied. A bit of a prickly feel from carbonation, but it does not retract from the flavor and this is still very drinkable. No alcohol noticed at all as expected for 3.1%. Overall this is an excellent Berliner Weisse with great flavor and balance. Best on in the style I have had. | 2positive

The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. Not sure how an amber ale is yellow in color, but I guess I can overlook that. The aroma is corn and biscuit malt. The flavor is a mix of corn and some malt. No real hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. I can overlook the color, but not the terrible flavor or aroma. Avoid this one unless you just have to have the rating. | 0negative

On to the beer: It looks fine. The big creamy head served on top adds a positive impression to the slightly pale gold color of this beer. As it drops, a few spotty rings stick ot the glass. But one smell of it, and thats when things go down. Very sweet nose, very corny nose. Too much! The same is true with its flavor. Its too sweet. Sweet liek rotten berries with artificial sugar. Okay, maybe its not as bad as it sounds, but the beer is certaily unbalanded without any quality qualities. Theres no need to bother with `the beer without compromise when SBA (Skol, Brahma, Antarctica) are around with less overbearing nastiness. | 0negative

Appearance: Pours a copper brew with a thin fizzy head that quickly gives in to a thin ring of foam. Very hazy due to yeast in suspension. Non perceived effervescence. No lacing whatsoever. Smell: Medium strong nose of clove, husks, yeast and spices. Some orange peel layering. Appealing with unexpected complexity. Taste: Good intensity on the mouth with notes of hops, grass, earthiness and yeast up front. Nice fruit on the back with notes reminescent of orange, peardrop and bubblegum. As it warms up more of the bubblegum seems to come through. Mouthfeel: Medium light bodied. Medium to medium low bitterness. Medium acidity. Medium low carbonation. Finishes sweet, leaving a lingering bubblegummy/fruity taste. Alcohol never gets in the way. Drinkability: Surpringly light and drinkable considering the ABV. Has a very interesting balance to it, especially in the fruity / earthy play making for a very interesting take on the Tripel style (Which should be the style listed in my opinion). | 2positive

1,658,019,159.080244 | 10.5 | Founders Imperial Stout | Russian Imperial Stout | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | Had this on tap at Stub n Herb's. Dark brown/black in the glass, left fabulous lacing all the way down the goblet. Nice warms, roasty aroma, some caramel, chocolate and light booze. Flavor is nice balance between sweet caramel and bitter roastiness. Full bodied, viscous. Yum. This went wonderfully with Stub's Blue Balls (mini cheeseburgers stuffed with blue cheese and topped with grilled onions). Excellent beer, and surprised it took me this long to try it. | 2positive

1,658,019,300.985452 | 4.2 | Honey's | American Adjunct Lager | 3.5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | Color is clear amber. Head is even, fine and white. Extremely faint aroma of sweet yeast esters Yeast esters dominate the flavor. There is sweetness but it's indefinable. It's likely the honey but no sense of honey comes through. Mouthfeel is watery. Carbonation is poor. This is undrinkable. It's not beer, it's a yeast starter. | 0negative

1,658,019,442.890661 | 4.7 | Xingu Black Beer | Schwarzbier | 3.5 | 1.5 | 2.5 | 1.5 | I got this in a variety pack from World Market. This beer poured a nice black color. But there was absolutely no smell at all. It tasted like burnt plastic with a little bit of black licorace taste and a bit of chocolate. Had a watery mouth feel for the type. Maybe I just got a bad bottle. But this I would not buy again. | 0negative

1,658,019,584.79587 | 5 | Samuel Smith's, The Famous Taddy Porter | English Porter | 3.5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Pours a deep, dark, charred crimson topped by a modest tan head that dies down, but never gives up completely. The aroma is faint chocolate and toast, maybe a bit of caramel. Nice, but not showy in the least. The taste is light milk chocolate and roast, malt, with a tinge of underlying coffee bitterness, and a slightly dry, light metallic finish that lingers in the aftertaste. There's a slight raw doughiness to the taste and aroma that shows up only while sipping. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with sufficient carbonation to get the job done but not a speck more. All in all a solid, workaday porter, and one that I like a lot. | 2positive

1,658,019,726.701079 | 9.5 | Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout | Russian Imperial Stout | 4.5 | 5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | Serving size is from a 22 ounce bottle. Bottle originally purchased from the brewery in early August. Seems much more appropriate to enjoy this beer now on a cold December night than from the taps at the brewery on a hot muggy August day. Appearance is very dark with a nice chocolatey head. Smell is chocolate. Taste was wonderful- hint of vanilla, licorce with a lot of chocolate and a woody finish. It was very smooth (fairly low carbonation) and sweet. I didn't think this was hot at all. Alcohol taste is neglible. Nice solid hop presence that has blended in nicely. A fanstastic beer all and all. | 2positive

1,658,019,868.606288 | 5.8 | Samuel Adams Alpine Spring | Munich Helles Lager | 4.5 | 4 | 4.5 | 4 | Pours a cloudy yellow color with a massive white foamy head that reaches at least three fingers. The head retention was impressive keeping at least a one finger head throughout the life of the beer. The aroma is filled with yeast bread flavor, and grassy hops. Very clean aroma though. The flavor is crisp and resfeshing with grains, malt, and grassy hop dominating. Nothing heavy though. Light bodied and super easy to drink. Oh and did I mention tasty? This American made lager is nothing less than just a good clean beer. I hope this becomes a year around brew! | 2positive

1,658,020,010.511496 | 4.78 | Olympia Beer | American Adjunct Lager | 1.5 | 1.5 | 2 | 2 | Ah, the joys of poverty. Right now, things are pretty tight for me. So I'm turning lemons into lemonade. If I have to drink crap, it's gonna be crap I can't even get in a crummy bar, so at least it'll be off the beaten path. This is exactly the kind of thinking that led me to buy a 12'er of Oly, a beer that carries some PNW nostalgia but is nowadays pretty much just a name for PBR that somehow didn't make the cut. Set me back $5.06 (weird sale price). I imagine I can make this last for a while. Poured a utterly clear straw color, with a big, fizzy white head that dropped faster than my wallet's ability to put gas in my car. Went from uber carbonation to mill pond stillness in about a minute. Hmm. Smell is of corn, raw smelling wheat and an unidentifiable sour, pungent smell hovering in the background. It's saving grace is that it's rather mild smelling. Could be a lot worse (this is called damning with faint praise, boys and girls). It is actually slightly better tasting than it smells, but that's like saying a Yugo is a more desirable ride than a Trabant. Utterly bland and inoffensive, so long as it stays cold. If this warms up much at all, I think I'd be revising this downwards (and it ain't got far to go). Mouthfeel? MOUTHFEEL?! Who the hell cares about this beer's mouthfeel? Acceptable if you are really bound and determined to buy beer with very little impact on your wallet, but don't want to opt for Bud/Miller/Coors. Otherwise, avoid. | 0negative

1,658,020,152.416705 | 5.9 | Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic | Fruit / Vegetable Beer | 3.5 | 2 | 3 | 2 | Twelve ounce brown bottle. Best by month notched on label. Glowing medium amber, with a dense white head. Vaguely cranberry-esque aroma with some cereal sort of notes. Not inspiring. Tastes vaguely of dilluted cranberry juice. Just barely able to make out the hint of maple syrup. Sticky sweet from start to finish. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Vile abomination. | 0negative

1,658,020,294.321914 | 5 | Amsterdam Natural Blonde Lager | Euro Pale Lager | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | I'd categorize this as a Dutch lager. The colour is light gold, and it has no head due to a very light carbonation. Smells sweetish. The mouthfeel is a bit like cotton candy. There's a sweet candy start, and the hops are barely perceptible except for the fact that they cleanse the palate. There's also a slight sourness to the middle. The finish is slightly odd tasting (wet cardboard?). I sipped this in 100 degree weather out on a patio. It did the trick, but under other circumstances it may not be the best choice. Easy drinking, a little more meat than macro swill, but still not much character. | 0negative

1,658,020,436.227123 | 5 | Heineken Lager Beer | Euro Pale Lager | 2.5 | 2 | 2 | 1.5 | This beer is no good. Skunked. It poured a light piss colored yellow that smelled alot like, well, a skunk. The taste was not much better as it was pretty skunked. This is not the first Heineken I've had, just the latest. They all have tasted the same. Skunked. Don't drink this beer or let people fool you into thinking this is a good beer. In all my years, I have never had a fresh tasting Heineken, all have been skunked. Maybe it's better in Holland, but until I get to Holland, this is all I can get my hands on. | 0negative

1,658,020,578.132332 | 6 | Latitude 48 Deconstructed IPA - Hallertau Mittelfrueh | American IPA | 4 | 4 | 3 | 1.5 | Pours a deep amber with a big head that dissapates quickly into a sam adams imperial perfect pint glass. Smells earthy malty with hints of raisins . Very intresting. Mouthfeel is very smooth and light. It has almost no bitterness, becoming very chewy. Reminds me a lot of yuengling, my least favorite beer. Very meh, I would almost classify this as a malt bomb. Came very close to drain pouring this one as it had almost no hop flavor or aroma. Not sure what this hop adds, but i will be staying away from it in the future. | 0negative

1,658,020,720.037541 | 4.75 | Stoudt's Fest | Märzen / Oktoberfest | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3.5 | Brilliantly clear from the ample lagering, reddish bronze in hue, topped by a fluffy, slowly receding head. Loose lace is left. Buttery, nutty malt sweetness from the combination of Munich and medium caramel malt dominates the aroma, w/ herbal Hallertauer providing contrast. Light hint of fruity melanoidins add complexity. A snap of bright, ripe raspberry like fruitiness quickly widens into a malt profile comprised of lightly toasty Munich, and a clean, pleasant caramel sweetness. Herbal, slightly earthy hop flavor and mild hop bitterness dart into the flavor profile as the initial malty sweetness fades. Perhaps a touch lacking in body, but dextrinous enough to help facilitate excellent drinkability. Finishes lightly sweet and grainy, but otherwise clean. Although Stoudts Fest falls a touch short in malt character and body, but is nonetheless a well crafted, tasty and highly quaffable brew. | 2positive

1,658,020,861.942749 | 5.6 | Sierra Nevada Porter | American Porter | 5 | 4 | 4.5 | 4 | A truly amazing looking beer. A huge creamy tan head that just parks itself over the deepest ruby/black body. Smell reveals chocolate, cocoa powder, and coffee with a very earthy almost gritty tone. Taste is chocolate coffee balanced with the right amount of hops in the finish. By all means this has all the ingredients to be too bitter, but it comes off as light and creamy with a good amount of warmth from the alcohol. Thankfully this does not push the sweet (Ballroom Blitz) envelope to counteract the hops/coffee. Mouthfeel is solid start to finish with some grittiness that coats the teeth which is something I really like to see in a beer. Yeah this is good, and Sierra Nevada is everywhere so dip dap. | 2positive

1,658,021,003.847958 | 5 | Asahi Super Dry | Japanese Rice Lager | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2.5 | Bud, or if your feeling charitable, Bud Select. There isn't much else to say about the beer. Spending time in consideration of its various qualities is sort of like thinking hard about a number 2 pencil: its there, you know what it is, there isn't really anything more to it. Its also dull, unimaginative, and worth not even drinking beer if its your only option. There really isn't much else to say, you get the point, don't buy it. To be fair, you could do worse. The beer may even be slightly better than I have listed, but at some point, there is no point, bogus beer is just that, and not worth your dollar. | 0negative

1,658,021,145.753167 | 4.5 | Hansa Pilsener | Czech Pilsener | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | The colour is straw yellow; the finger thick head is white. Some lacing occurs. The smell is weak. Hints of white bread. The taste is impressive weak. Corn? The aftertaste is dusty with some anonymous bitterness. The carbonation is medium strong, the liquid light. A completely insipid brew. | 0negative

1,658,021,287.658376 | 5.9 | Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic | Fruit / Vegetable Beer | 3 | 1 | 1.5 | 1 | hadn't had one in years (as i hated it so), but you can't avoid em when you want the old fezziwig, so i decide to revisit it. it pours a brownish orange and the fruity smell is instantly overbearing. it's not as fruity in taste as i remember it though, and that was thanks to the 'touch of' (what an understatement!) maple syrup. a different type of brew? yes. a good one? no way. | 0negative

1,658,021,429.563585 | 5.1 | Thunder Road | Czech Pilsener | 2.5 | 2 | 3 | 2 | Label plainly states this is a "classic bohemian pilsner". Not quite. This pours a cloudy orange body, with a skimpy, head that dropped so fast I could not identify the color. No lacing. There is hardly any aroma. Vague, lager malt and a hint of euroskunk hops. Mouthfeel is light bodied, with average carbonation. The taste is all wrong. Old corn syrup, dishwater, a metallic note, and some skunky hops comprise the taste. This one almost got poured down the drain. Smoky Mountain Brewery is almost my local brewery, so I wanted to like this one. The label is attractive, and evokes memories of the movie depicting the moonshine runners of the area, a couple of generations ago. This beer comes off as a poorly made, adjunct lager. I doubt this was a bad bottle, as I purchased it in Knoxville, at the Leaf and Ale store, where the owner knows how to store his products. I still plan to visit this brewery next month. After this unfortunate sampling, I plan to speak to the brewmaster. | 0negative

1,658,021,571.468793 | 5.4 | Denver Pale Ale | English Pale Ale | 3.5 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, beer is a slightly hazy, golden-orange color with a one-finger, pillowy head. The nose is of slightly toasted malt, slightly biscuity and a nice bouquet of earthy English hops. The taste has a constant and consistant bitterness throughout. There is a nice malty backdrop that complements the moderate hop forefront. Sort of one-demensional but it works for this beer. The mouthfeel is fairly light in body with a underwhelming carbonation and a dry finish. Overall drinkability is pretty good, this is a sessionable beer for sure. Nothing out of this world but a solid offering. | 2positive

1,658,021,713.374002 | 8 | La Trappe Tripel (Koningshoeven / Dominus) | Tripel | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Poured a slightly hazy peach - sediment on the bottom of the bottle was tight, so I was able to get a very clean decant. Flavor is soft, some suggestion of honeydew melon, with a sharp, carbonated acidity that balances well. Not a lot of depth to the flavor profile, but overall it is quite pleasant. | 2positive

1,658,021,855.279211 | 7.2 | LongShot Weizenbock | Weizenbock | 4 | 3.5 | 3 | 2.5 | Poured a 12oz bottle into my Chimay Chalice. This beer poured almost a dirty dishwater/muddy water brown with a creamy beige 1 inch head and left no lacing at all. The aroma is wheat, clove, and vanilla. The taste is bananas with a bit of clove. There is also an odd roasted wheat aftertaste that leaves a burnt taste on the back of the throat. This beer also seems pretty hot to me. It has a definite boozy kick to it and leaves a pretty spicy coating on the tongue. The mouthfeel is full but spiciness is off putting. I think this actually might be my least favorite Sam Adams brew tried to date. | 0negative

1,658,021,997.18442 | 8 | A Saison Darkly (Import Series Vol. #2) | Saison / Farmhouse Ale | 4 | 3 | 3.5 | 3.5 | Poured from the bottle at the Bilbo Baggins event welcoming Stillwater to Virginia. Brewed in West Flanders and made with hibiscus, rose hips, and Schisandra chinensis, aka the Chinese five-flavored fruit. Pours a dark plum color with an off white bordering on tan head and some spotty lacing. Some carbonation rings at the edges of the glass. Nose is light and creamy and has a mild tequila-like booziness. Slight notes of blueberry skin and wood. The taste is lightly spicy and musty with a moderate berry tartness. Slightly floral and tea-like. Toward the end I get some light floral and plum characteristics. The feel is light with mild carbonation and is slightly bitter. Throughout the glass, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. This is really quite interesting and definitely worth a try. | 2positive

1,658,022,139.089629 | 5 | Atwater Rost | American Amber / Red Ale | 3 | 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | Lightly speckled tangerine with a beige cap that might pick up a hint of orange from the beer beneath. The brewery led me to believe that Rost (pronounced Roast, the German word for amber) would be coppery in color. Before very long, the heads drops to a thick disk, leaving very little of itself on the glass. The nose isn't too bad. There's almost no hoppiness exiting the glass, but the earthy maltiness holds up its end well enough. The pilsner malt, the Munich malt and the caramel malt contribute roughly equally. If the flavor profile follows suit, I might have run across an Atwater Block beer that's drinkable. Not so fast. I can't say that I'm disappointed since I've now had five brews from these guys and haven't come close to being impressed yet. For starters, the beer is way too thin and is more sour fruity than an amber ale should be on its worst day. Where the hell is the malt? Rost is reminiscent of lightly carbonated, watered down fruit juice aged in a rain gutter. I'm thinking apricot and orange, but that doesn't quite capture it. There's no hop flavor and very little hop bitterness. No worries, though. With almost no malt to worry about, the hops probably wouldn't have contributed in any meaningful way. This is lousy beer. The mouthfeel is all kinds of thin and watery. I've decided not to give it a 1.0 because... uh... because the beer isn't slimy and because it isn't filled with proteinaceous crap. Gotta save the worst scores for the worse mouthfeels, I guess. This may be the last Atwater Block beer that I picked up on my swing into southern Michigan this past summer. At least I hope so. Maybe these guys can produce drinkable beer from the tap, but something is seriously wrong with their bottling operation. Avoid. | 0negative

1,658,022,280.994838 | 3 | Desperados Mas | Euro Pale Lager | 2.5 | 2 | 2.5 | 1.5 | We pour a brew the color of darker goldenrod into our pint glasses. It holds a one and a half finger head that is flour white. Retention is poor, but sticky lacing is left around the glass. The brew is crystal clear, with no sediment, and highly active carbonation. The nose is full of huge synthetic lime and tinny metals. White sugar sweetness is overwhelming, with a leafy spice and overripe bananas. The taste begins with synthetic watermelon and cantaloupe sitting atop candy sweetness. There is further sweetness and bitterness of metals. Through the middle the pale malts become more active. Unfortunately, so does the sweetness. This comes in the form of lime concentrate, cantaloupe, and lemongrass. We finish with tropical fruit, and more of those hollow, metallic malts. The final punch is from mango and pineapple. The aftertaste breathes much light a diet tropical punch drink, full of aspartame sweetness. There is also a breath of citrus, and sour emptiness. The body is light to medium and the carbonation is champagne-high. There is biting dryness from the metals and the sugars, with little froth, smack, or coating to substantiate the sip. The abv is appropriate, and this drinks as easily as fruit juice. Overall, this best thing about this beer is how light it is. We literally started laughing after taking the first sip. Although labeled and marketed as a beer, they should seriously reconsider calling this a wine cooler. The fruit and sugars are at a bizarre interplay, and Im not sure if they are trying to get us drunk or give us type 2 diabetes. At no point is this distinguishable as a beer, other than the light malts through the center, but these, for the most part, are unintelligible. More than anything, this beer is erratic and just plain old weird. | 0negative

1,658,022,422.900046 | 8.2 | Southampton Cuvee Des Fleurs | Saison / Farmhouse Ale | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4 | 4.5 | A - Pours a cloudy yellow-orange color with a huge frothy two-fingers of white head. The head fades very slowly down leaving behind lots of lace. S - The aroma is big on the Belgian yeast and has a nice background of floral and herbal notes. There is also just a bit of herbal hop in there as well. T - Starts off with a mix of yeast flavor and some lemon. This is backed up with a mix of floral and herbal flavors. Through the middle the yeast gets a bit stronger and a bit of spice and hop come through as well. The finish is a mix of yeast and floral notes that linger for quite a while. M - Medium bodied with moderate-plus carbonation. Feels smooth and quite lively. The beer is overall fairly dry and the finish lingers forever. D - Very drinkable. Especially for 8.2% abv, this beer is super smooth. The floral flavors are at just the right level and everything seems to work for this one. | 2positive

1,658,022,564.805255 | 5.9 | Desperados | Euro Pale Lager | 2.5 | 2 | 3 | 1 | Strange. That's what comes to mind with this beer. From a clear bottle with a decidedly southwestern theme, the beer is supposed to be flavored with tequila. It's a light gold color with a soft and small head. The flavor is odd. It honestly smells more like a lemon-lime soda than a beer. Sweet and citric. The taste is similar...soda-pop citrus and sugar. It's less like beer than like candy. It's clearly aimed at someone who doesn't like the taste of beer (looks like beer, but tastes nothing of the beverage). The beverage is moderately carbonated, and medium bodied. It would be cloyingly sweet, except for the lemon-lime tang at the finish. No hop and no malt character. Soda-pop disguised as beer. | 0negative

Appearance: The body is a clear dark amber color. The head is tan, very small, poor retention and lacing. It is very flat. Smell: The aroma is very empty, sweet. Taste: The flavors are spice, apple and plum. Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is very crisp and carbonated. Drinkability: This is a very drinkable beer. Don't drink and review. | 2positive
