1726 Gordon Biersch Light United States Light / Lite Lager 2.6

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

Pours out to a straw, yellow color with a head that subsides rather quickly and leaves no lacing. The aroma is of bread and hops, very faint. The taste is quite light, with the taste of bread coming through. The hops taste really doesn't provide too much of a presence to even out the alcohol aftertaste. The mouthfeel is also rather thin and bland, with very little in the way of carbonation. Not bad for a "light" beer!

1727 Brothers Drake 1812 United States Mead 2.6

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

Pours like a Rosé wine with some bubbles around the edges and no laceing. The aroma is berries and honey. The taste was a medium, dry body with a floral character and notes of raspberries and honey. The finish is tart with a bitter berry aftertaste. This was first ever time for tasting the MEADE style, it was very wine like, much prefer a real beer.

1728 Rivertown Brewing Pumpkin Ale United States Spiced Beer 2.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 6

Pours a darker amber color with small, off-white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is bready with caramel malt, there's a hint of allspice and cinnamon, but it's very faint. The taste is actually a pumpkin pie blend of spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg are prominent with a touch of clove. Taste is a little metallic at the end. And the spices fade quickly. The mouthfeel is pretty big carbonation, but overall, fairly crisp. Note I can't stand anything pumpkin, I try to keep this out of review and rating.

1729 Bison Chocolate Stout United States Chocolate Stout 2.6

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

Pours near black with brown edging with small light cocoa colored head, with fair retention and very little, if any, lacing. The aroma is predominant bittersweet dark cocoa aroma with notes of earth and hints of caramel. The taste has a more earthy than chocolate taste with light touches on caramel and finishes with mild earthy bitterness. The mouthfeel is light in body, almost watery with weak carbonation.

1732 Elevator Grapes & Grains of Wrath United States Imperial Porter 2.6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

poured a dark dark brownish/black color with thin tan colored head. the aroma was of roasted malts, fruit and dark coffee. The taste followed the aroma but for me to much coffee in taste with a little wine. The balance was off to much coffee in taste.

1733 Hoof Hearted Bone Zone United States Imperial IPA 2.6

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

pours a hazy dark yellow color with medium sized white head that hangs around for bit leaving nice lacing. The aroma typical for the style but could not find any honey in aroma. The taste is way to bitter 4 me, hoped honey would offset that but not near enough for me. The mouthfeel is medium with light carbonation.

1738 Eastside Strong Scotch Ale United States Scottish Ale 2.6

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

poured a clear copper with thin white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The aroma had light caramel and Barley notes. The taste was not very balanced and was hard to drink with bright sweet caramel malt base with barley and way too much booze presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with decent carbonation.

1740 Tusker Lager Kenya Pale Lager 2.6

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6

very pale yellow color, with a decent head that stayed around for a bit. Over all a bit of a boring typical pale lager taste, but like most pale lagers good on a hot sunny day, which i imagine they have quite a few in Kenya.

1741 Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale United States Spiced Beer 2.6

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

purchased as part of sampler pack (otherwise would be ticked about buying it.) pours a nice drark brown in color with virtually no head to speak of. The aroma of cloves was nice but also seemed like there was a hard alcholal aroma as well which really took away from the cloves. Flavors of cinnamon and some clove, rather muddled, and confusing. this beer didn't do it for me, trade others from the pack to a friend.

1742 Boddingtons Pub Ale United Kingdom Bitter 2.6

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

pours a light gold with a strong, creamy head. Super thick and puffy. The aroma was disappointing as you didn't get much of an aromoa, what you did get was a kind of a basic malt smell with a bit of sweeter fruit. The taste was really a let down. It was almost like a richer, creamier, US macro brew. It was certainly bready and maybe a bit of banana in there at the end.

1743 Red Stripe Jamaica Lager 2.5

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Decent aroma, has virtually no head, a little light on carbonation, easy to drink in warm weather or when laying on a beach. This beer works well with"hot" foods as it's light and doesn't fill you up.

1744 Stella Artois Belgium Lager 2.5

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

Another average beer from the mega giant, seems like they all blend together. poured medium golden color, small head that disappeared quickly. Average beer with average taste, suggest you really cool this one done before drinking.

1746 Ballantine XXX Ale United States Blonde Ale 2.5

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

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.

1747 Samuel Adams Black & Brew United States Coffee Stout 2.5

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

First I don't like coffee and 2nd Stouts are one of my least favorite styles of beers. I'm glad this beer came in a sampler pack. I put off trying this beer for a while. Pours dark chestnut. A decent sized mocha head and left appreciable lacing. The aroma is primarily coffee with perhaps a hint of chocolate. The flavor matches the smell, though I find it to be very one-dimensional.

1748 Saranac Pumpkin Ale United States Spiced Beer 2.5

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

Pours an orangish brown body and a nice off-white head, nice retention and lacing are bothy good. The aroma pairs understated sweet malt with a lot of spices, with nutmeg being the predominant one. I've said this about every pumpkin beer I've tried, there's too much nutmeg. Nutmeg is a powerful spice, so you don't need to use much. In addition to the nutmeg comes a hint of cinnamon, and probably a few other spices that I cannot pick out. Also like all other pumpkin beers I can't stand the taste. I hate anything flavored pumpkin!!!!! Pumpkin's should be used for decoration only not for eating/drinking.

1749 Iron City Light United States Light / Lite Lager 2.5

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

pours a very pale gold color with nice bubbly head that quickly fades to a thin lacing. There's a great deal of carbonation bubbles rising to the top. The aroma is grainy with a nice grassy hop aroma. The taste is also grainy with a slight grassy hop character. There's a hint of an apple-like sweetness in the finish. Mouthfeel is light and crisp.

1750 Kaliber Ireland Reduced Alcohol 2.5

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

Pours a clear straw yellow, small white head with a little bit of lace. The aroma is sweet, like dough. A bit like unfermented wort. The taste has a hint of green apple tartness, chalky yeast tones, and no hop flavor with vague suggestions of watery caramel and mild toasted qualities. Light bodied, feels like beer. Good carbonation and crisp. Not bad for a near beer.
