  • Krombacher Pils
    rated 3.7 1 year ago

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Nose is grass with just a hint of bubblegum surprisingly enough and just a hint of sourdough. Boys are fairly deep golden body with a massive head that leaves quite good lace. Mouth is slightly slick a little bit watery. Very mild flavor perhaps what a good American Mass brewed beverage should taste like but doesn't. There's some grass there's a sourish finish there's some fairly Noble hop hits but just barely there. It's extremely drinkable.

    Grass and biscuit in the nose really a kind of a pilsner nose. Nice golden body minimal head no lace. Really nice level of carbonation in the mouth clean with a moderate body. I really like this blonde it's so easy drinking. Tastes like a good pills but with a little touch of sweetness at the end.

  • Counter Weight Brewing Fest Bier

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 10

    Lite aroma ..... Grass, lemon, a sour note of sorts. Clear medium copper body topped with a moderate white head with slight retention and good lace. Nice mouth well carbonated, tingly, slick and lite bodied. Really tasty the malt predominates and is biscuity. The hops are, I think, noble and perfectly balanced. Lighter than a Marzen with a clean and slightly sweet finish. Exceptionally drinkable. Alcohol very well masked. I feel bad downgrading the appearance this is really a delightful beer.

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

    Mild nose of biscuit with hints of both citrus and resin hops. Surprisingly clear pale yellow body for an unfiltered Brew tapped by a decent Whitehead that has minimal retention that leaves a nice skim coat. The carbonation is very tingly the mouth is slightly slick medium-bodied and very clean. Lemon and grass in the mouth bittering towards the end somewhat astringent perhaps too much so. The finish is very short and very clean.

    Nice pils nose, grassy meadow with some violet and lemon and hints of ground white peppercorn. Crystal clear light gold body topped with a big head with retention and some foamy lace. Medium bodied slightly slick, slightly creamy. Flavor follows the nose crisp with slight sugar cookie and a bit of tartness on the finish which is long, drying, and clean.

  • Two Roads No Limits Hefeweizen

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

    Cardamom, bubblegum, clove, citrus peel on the nose. Pours a foggy gold/copper body with good white head and moderate lace. Mouth is well carbonated but a touch thin. Flavor is all bubble gum and clove perhaps lacking in the subtlety of a finer hefe. Pretty good attempt for an American Brewer.

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

    Bread and pasture and a hint of lavender in the nose. Pale copper body with minimal head and no lace. Mouth is medium bodied slightly creamy with minimal carbonation. Very drinkable... Clean taste biscuit, bright and sweetish, hops slightly floral and a bit of bittering..... Perfectly balanced.

  • Two Roads Ol’ Factory Pils
    rated 2.4 1 year ago

    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    Two roads is really ubiquitous in my little home state of Connecticut. I really don't understand why you would want to hop the hell out of something you're calling a pills to the point where the traditional pills flavors are buried by a sweet ish bitter ish presence of hops and malt. Slightly tropical nose that is very faint. Pour is a slightly hazed pale gold with little head that does not have retention and no lace. Average mouth slightly watery not slick carbonation perhaps slightly lacking. Some traditional grassy flavors at first it's a little sweet in the middle and goes very very medicinal at the end absence the medicinal it could get a good flavors score. But hey it is what it is and what it is is you know sort of drinkable with a bit of a nasty finish.

  • Ghost Island
    rated 4.2 1 year ago

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

    Very strong tropical fruit in the nose with some pine lurking in there as well also a bit of cotton candy. Medium copper colored body tapped by a two-finger whitehead that lasts well and leaves good lace. Mouth is surprisingly creamy and slightly oily. Flavor reminiscent of heady topper. Bitter predominates. Fairly strong malt background some biscuit some green herbs as well, perhaps a bit more green than tropical. Slightest stringency towards the end hint of aspirin. Finishes clean long and drying. All in all a very tasty Brew.

    Honey, vanilla, pasture in the nose with a hint of lemon. I am a bit new to Kazbek hops, interesting. Clear medium gold body topped with minimal white head that leaves a skim coat and a hint of sudsy lace.The effervescence keeps coming. Mouth hints at creamy and is nicely fizzy. There is an unusual flavor profile here, I can't quite put my finger on it, might be coming from the house lager yeast. Finish is very clean, its a lovely pils flavor with what is maybe a hint of deep ripe fruit, plum? Bittering level is spot on for style. Hops are spicy/prppery. This is EXTREMELY SESSONABLE! (wish there was more nose)
