Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

1902 Michelob Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

Pours a VERY light straw color with perfect clarity and strong carbonation with a white colored head with pathetic retention/lacing. The aroma has the typical grainy notes most light macros. The taste isn't good, which is not expected. There is a slightly rough tone of rice adjuncts at first, and that slimy aftertaste but otherwise, there's almost no flavor at all. The mouthfeel is like carbonated water.

1903 Michelob Ultra United States Light / Lite Lager 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

pours your typical light lager clear straw yellow (even lighter, if that's possible) while yielding a thin fizzy head that lapses immediately and leave zero lacing. The aroma offers nearly nothing, I can barely detect a hint of grain. The taste, what taste???? It's similar to the the aroma, there just nothing there except some sweetness and exceptionally subtle corn notes. The mouthfeel is light bodied with medium-high carbonation. Overall, complete waste of time.

1905 Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat United States Spiced Beer 1.7

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

pours a orange, caramel color with a descent head with good retention and creamy appearance. The aroma is mostly spicy with nutmeg and cinammon. The taste is caramel malt flavor is sweet. Spices come in the middle as described in the smell. Hint of pumpkin and roasted almonds. Yeasty flavor. Weak hops, faint earthy tone. Descent balance on the spice heavy end of things. The mouthfeel is light to medium consistency with a slick feel and medium carbonation. Note to be perfectly honest I can't stand anything flavored with pumpkin but since this had so little pumpkin flavor in it, I oculd almost drink it.

1906 Tequiza Extra United States Pale Lager 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

poured a light orangish color with virtually no head or lacing. The aroma consists of cheap tequila and nothing else. The taste was so horriable it can't be described. This is the worst tasting stuff on the planet. The above info was from my notes as I now look back on this I am thankful that this crap isn't for sale anymore. I wish I could give it a zero rating!

1914 Bluegrass American Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.4

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

pours a deep gold/light amber with a slight haze with some floaties and a decent medium sized head with good staying power. The aroma is mostly a citrus hop aroma with some piney notes as well. Quite strong overall with a little light caramell in the background. The taste has the malt come through more than the aroma would suggest. Grainy with a solid caramel component as well. The hops play only a flavor role the first couple sips, but with each sip the bitterness compounds to further check the afforementioned malt sweetness. The beer maintains a fair hop balance through the semi-dry finish. The mouthfeel is medium body with solid carbonation.

1915 Boulder Cold Hop United States IPA 3.4

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

pours a hazy amber gold, with a thick creamy head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass. The aroma is very faint, with maybe a little hint of hops here or there, but for the most part I can't pick up on anything. The taste is nothing like the aroma as it tastes like an IPA mixed with a thick lager. Lots of hops, lots of citrus. The mouthfeel is nice and thick, unlike some other IPAs. Not too thick, but a lot of character.

1924 Samuel Adams Spring Ale United States Kölsch 3.2

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

pours a medium gold with an orange tint, has a short white head that fades quickly and doesn’t leave much lace on the glass. The aroma is of caramel, honey, spice and hops. The taste is very sweet with flavors of honey and spice. The mouthfeel is crisp and smooth with a light-to-medium body, light carbonation with a clean finish. Given that this beer has been retired and replaced as the Sam Adams spring release by the White Ale, I can help but compare the two, even though they are from completely different styles. While this is a decent beer, I prefer the White Ale.
