  • Kent Falls Awkward Hug
    rated 4.2 3 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

    Strong nose...pineapple, biscuit, orange, lemon, salty breeze. Pale gold body fully hazed topped by a nice egg white with decent retention, nice skim coat, and moderate lace. Slightly thin mouth, spot on carbonation, clean. Flavor is growing on me, solid bitter in the middle, slightly sour on the back end, bit of citrus peel on the aftertaste. There is a little barnyard funk/mustiness in here and a hint of white pepper.

  • Hop Commander IPA
    rated 4.2 3 years ago

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

    Clear gold body topped by a decent white head with moderate lace and retention. Ideal for me anyway IPA mouth is slippery, carbonation is spot-on, and just slightly creamy. This East Coast Brewer puts forth a classic West Coast IPA before neipa became the hot new ticket. I find that most refreshing these days. A lot of pine, slight Citrus coming from the Citra but not overpowering as it often is these days. Very solidly bitter. A little sweetness from the mall towards the back end dissolves into a hit of bitter, the Finish is dry as a bone. Mild nose of pine citrus with a bit of floral in it.

  • Multiverse Imperial Stout
    rated 3.6 3 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Nice big stout nose, prune, chocolate, coffee, bread crust. Opaque darkest of dark brown body pours a frothy burnt umber head with minimal retention leaves a bit of skim, no lace. Creamy mouth, great tingle, slick and coating. Taste is sweet caramelized sugars, prune, plum, a hint of chocolate, bit of bitter coffee in the aftertaste, leaves mouth coated not clean. Alcohol masked, a hint of cough syrup going on in the end.

  • Saison Dupont Dry Hopping
    rated 4.3 3 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Grass, clove, cardomom, bubble gum in the nose. Beautiful looking beer medium gold body slightly foggy, Rocky egg white head lasts forever with amazing lace. Mouth is full, creamy, not quite chewy. Flavor is good the original is a subtle kiss this is a smack in the face. Cardamom a little clove a little bubble gum a little banana, sour finish not unlike a good hefi. Would be great with a nasty cheese and some stinky meat.

  • Pause and Reflect Porter
    rated 3.6 3 years ago

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Mild nose overripe dark fruit, maple syrup, cotton candy, caramel malt. Almost opaque Brown body topped with a little caramel color head that does not last and leaves no skim coat no lace but a tiny bit of suds. Hismile smedium body good level of tingle coats the mouth slightly slippery. Easy drinking Porter some would flavor some tobacco some leather, not overly sweet, finishes with a very good burnt taste. Pretty tasty.

  • Guinness Draught
    rated 3.2 3 years ago

    Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Nota Lita nose... Deep brown body, Carmel colored head nitro charged foamy lace. Thin for a stout. Gonna let warm before rating flavor but strikes me is not as good as a draft. Little charcoal from the dark malts, some roasted coffee almost playing with sweet in the middle a little milk lactose. It's Guinness.

  • Galaxy Brau Hoppy Lager
    rated 3.2 3 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    Nice nose true to his word passion fruit and Peach and some floral maybe hibiscus. Hazed light gold body topped by decent off white head moderate retention no lace. Mouth is a touch thin possibly undercarbonated. Tropical flavors fade fast leaving a bit of aspirin and astringency. Finish is dry aftertaste minimal. Could use more malt

  • Citra Brau Hoppy Lager
    rated 4.0 3 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Nose of ripe melon, violets, I really hope and tangerine. Hazy medium yellow body topped with decent white head leaving a skim coat and moderate lace. How to slightly creamy carbonation is spot-on. Bitter and sour in the end nerd wondering if there's some wheat in the bill please ask. Some grapefruit notes maybe a little Pine, Touch of oregano.

  • Long Trail Brewing VT IPA
    rated 3.0 3 years ago

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

    Surprisingly mild nose for a NEIPA, more floral than tropical...violets and tangerine. Medium amber body is moderately hazed with off white head admitting a small bit of lace/suds. Really nice mouth on this, chewy, creamy, full bodied. Taste is also mild, not as sweet as many NEIPA's, a bit soapy?, a little aspirin at the end, not complex, lemon rind not in a particularly good way. Not my cupa.
