176 Big Sky Montana Trout Slayer Ale United States American Wheat 3.5

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

Pours a semi-clear, golden straw color with a small head, below average retention, leaving behind a sparse, semi-sticky lace. The aroma is crisp wheat, backed by sweet notes of bread and grass, and the faintest whiff of lemon. The taste follows the aroma with crisp wheat flavors complimented by a healthy amount of grainy breadiness, bittersweet grassy notes, and finishes with a slightly sour, mild lemon hop aftertaste. The mouthfeel is light to medium body and is crisp and refreshing. Overall an excellent beer, great for hot days, but also good any other time.

177 Big Sky Moose Drool Ale United States Brown Ale 3.6

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

Pours a deep brown with good clarity when held to a light and has a nice creamy, tan head and stays intact nearly to the bottom of the glass. The taste is milk chocolate with hints of earthy hops and crystal malt. The milk chocolate notes continue into the body of this beer, but it also picks up a substantial amount of earthy hop notes to balance things out. The beer has enough carbonation to make it exceptionally creamy.

pours a brilliant copper amber filled with streams of rapidly rising bubbles under a thin small white foam cap with poor retention. The aroma has a trace of caramel, sorghum, light toast, and a hint of fruit, hops and grains. The taste starts with lightly sweet caramel bread crust and a hint of fruit, light spice, and a little bit of sorghum flavor. The mouthfeel is medium to medium light bodied beer has medium high carbonation. Overall this is a good, solid gluten-free beer, probably the best gluten free beer I've ever had.

180 Birra Moretti Italy Lager 3.0

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

pour a dark straw colored brew with a small white head which dissipates quickly. Lacing is sparse and spotty. The aroma is supremely skunky. with and even metallic yeast. The taste is of bitter malts which hit first followed by a sweaty, salty quality. The finish is cooling and refreshing, with some light sugars to cut the initial bittering. The aftertaste breathes with more bitter malts, and light metallics. The beer drinks easily.

185 Bison Saison de Wench United States Saison 3.4

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

A pretty dark shade of amber orange clear with a solid small head that makes for great lacing. The aroma is pretty good some funk, some lemon, maybe wheat? Can't pick out anything else but it does smell Saison Like. Very flowery. The taste is very smooth yet simply a basic Saison. I get some malt, mild if any yeast (which I am a fan of) and some grainy hibiscus flavors. The botanical's I must admit make for one smooth brew. The mouth feel is light to medium its very easy to drink with smooth flowery stuffs.

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

pours a clear pale gold, with a medium sized head, and with some duration. No lasting laces. The aroma is hoppy, dry with slight sulfur. The taste is of light honey, bare nuttiness, and a decided hop snap that lingers into the aftertaste -- bitter but not juicy. The mouthfeel is scant and the finish a little watery, but then it is a Light Lager.
