The taste is fantastic, one of the best dopplebocks that I have tasted. You can really taste the malts and caramel notes. The mouthfeel is heavy but not overtly so, abv doesn't over power anything,

134 Medalla Light Puerto Rico Pale Lager 4.0

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

pours with a thin white head and a clear, fairly bubbly, straw color with little lace. The aroma is of sweet, bready barley malt and a shadow of a hop sting. The taste is of sweet bread, lemon, paper, a touch of syrup, and a kiss of hops. The mouthfeel is light and watery, and finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, mostly dry, extremely drinkable, and delicious. What a wonderful surprise! This might be the best mass-produced light beer on the market. I rate this one excellent.

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

pours a golden yellow color with densely cloudy, almost milky, with a bright white head, which dissipates slowly with good lacing. The aroma reminds me of a good yeast roll with hits of citrus and coriander. The taste reflects the aroma, but pick up more prominent coriander, leaving a trace bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium while the carbonation is moderate but contributes to the overall mild dry finish.

Pours a cloudy blood orange hue with small head with sporadic lacing speckles. The aroma is of wheat and honey and tons of booze. Hay and corn syrup. Caramel all over the place. Hops are very complacent. It first smells like just your average Barleywine, but then the wheat really sets in. Dry, milled wheat. Super-sweet overall. The taste has its highs and lows. Starts of sweet and complex. Then finishes too boozy. Liqueur dipped fruitcake. Toasted Wheat Thins with dried prunes on top. Citrusy with a herbal hop character. The mouthfeel is full, sticky and syrupy and very dry with moderate bitterness. Carbonation is quite soft.

Pours a cloudy medium brown color with orange/red highlights with a small creamy tan head with an excellent showing of lace and a good amount of retention.

The taste features dark malts and chocolate, with some earthy, maple character while other flavors are nuts, oak/wood, and roasted malts. A big and malty beer, but the sweetness doesn't overpower at all. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a good amount of carbonation. The finish is of nuttiness and sweetness, but is also balanced by the earthy hops.

150 Oskar Blues / Sun King The Deuce United States Brown Ale 4.0

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

Pours a mahogany dark brown color with good clarity with a soft white head with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is more hoppy than malty and more citrus forward with tropical fruit notes. The malts have a bready malt with a hint of darker astringent malts. A big estery character that is more of a deterrent than anything.

Also has citrus, grapefruit and pine and some minor chocolate notes but hidden by esters and tropical fruits and coconut. The mouthfeel is moderate but somewhat sweet in the finish. Carbonation is good.
