106 Avery Seventeen United States Schwarzbier 3.7

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

pours a thick dark brown with a large cream colored head that lasted throughout, producing some excellent sticky lacing. The aroma was of burnt chocolate malts, grassy hops and a leathery yeast with notes of chocolate, licorice and a smidgen of dark fruit (plums and raisins). The taste was sweetly bitter and rather malty with a note of chocolate early on and then progressed into this smooth bitter taste with hint of licorice, a small dose of dark fruit and a nice amount of hops at the end. The mouthfeel was medium in body and creamy yet dry in texture with a medium carbonation.

Isn't this the beer Frazier's dad drank? Very light for an ale. nice golden color, with decent head, not much of an aroma. For a cheap ale it's fairly easy to drink as long as it's ice cold.

124 Banks Beer Barbados Pale Lager 3.1

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

pours a crystal clear, golden-yellow, with a small white head which dissipates quickly, however, and the light coloration accurately predicts a light taste. Lightly skunky in both aroma and taste, this beer is thirst-quenching and easy to down. The light-bodied mouthfeel is amply, but not over, carbonated. The sweetness in the aroma is followed by a largely balanced (sweet-bitter) taste. Excellent choice for hot summer day or a hot day on the beach, very refreshing.
