1928 Stag United States Pale Lager 2.5

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

Pours an extremely clear pale yellow color with a thin fizzy bright white head. There is little head retention. The aroma is basic with pale malt, sweet bread, and a faint floral hop. The taste is also of pale malt, gives a bit of a sweet bread taste, and outside of that not much more. The mouthfeel is thin, dry, and nicely carbonated. Preferred this beer prior to G Heileman buying it. Rating is based on taste prior to G.H. buying the beer.

1929 Miller High Life Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.9

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

pours a clear straw yellow with an effervescent white head with little retention but there sure is a lot of lace. The aroma is adjunct-filled consisting of corn and straw notes with a faintly tinny finish. Bland and uninviting aroma. The taste faint pale malt hides behind dry straw and husky corn. An adjunct to the max, this one is very light in flavor. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean with a biting carbonation finish and slightly refreshing quality, like that of water.

1930 Miller Chill United States Light / Lite Lager 1.7

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

pours a light golden yellow color with a crisp but easily dissipating head. The aroma is faint of lime and adjuncts.

If served ice cold it is somewhat refreshing on a hot summer day.

1931 Miller Lite United States Light / Lite Lager 1.5

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

pours a crystal clear light yellow in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation with a small bright white head that quickly died down and left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface. The aroma is of adjunct malts, corn and rice. The taste is very similar to the smell and also has some hints of grainy malts and a faint amount of bitterness. The mouthfeel is light-bodied and somewhat watery on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. This got me through many a day during my collage years.

1933 Ringneck Copperhead Red Ale United States Amber Ale 3.7

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

pours a copper orange in color, completely translucent, pretty strong internal carbonation, pours a small white foamy head with lots of lacing. The aroma is not incredibly fragrant, light citrus, tropical fruits, a little sweet and sour, even some fresh apple to finish. The taste begins a bit sour, then transitions to a light citrus, some mild hop flavor, a bit weak in terms of intensity, but still well balanced and drinkable. The mouthfeel is very smooth, light citrus aftertaste, not drying or overpowering. Overall a smooth and mild red, nothing too exciting, but certainly smooth and decent tasting

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

pours a orange/yellow color with a nice, active frothy head that gently sticks and slides. The aroma is good ruby red grapefruit juice hoppiness upfront, sweetened by a brown bread maltiness. The taste is very hoppy without ever being incredibly bitter. The malt sticks to it well without ever becoming sweet either. The mouthfeel is light in body and well carbonated.

1938 Lake Placid High Peaks Hefeweizen United States Hefeweizen 4.0

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

pours darker than some of the european offerings with a cloudy wheat color with lots of active bubbles rising to the surface and forming a nice soapy white head. The aroma is clove for sure, spicy yeast, wheat malt, and maybe a touch of honey. The taste is very well balanced with the yeast complexity being most distinct. There is a touch of fresh vanilla bean right up front, and a lemon sort of finish and is very refreshing, very sessionable. The mouthfeel is nice, more body than a lot of these, which I like, and very spirited carbonation, perfect for a hot summer. I really like this one, which I havent seen before this year. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

1939 Dark Horse Raspberry Ale United States Fruit Beer 3.8

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

Poured a slightly hazy, light orange color with a decent head. The aroma is raspberries and a slight bready aroma. The taste is a much more of a subtle raspberry taste than the aroma would lead you to believe. It's not too sweet. A pretty good fruit beer which is mild and well balanced. The mouthfeel is really easy to drink and is light on the carbonation. Ends dry. I must point out that fruit beers are my favorite style of beer.

1940 Shipyard Applehead Ale United States Spiced Beer 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

pours a yellow-gold color with some head, some lacing, but nothing really special. The aroma is like a bowl of Apple Jacks! This aroma is phenomenal. The cues of apple and cinnamon are so profound I can literally taste them. The taste could have more of the Apple Jacks taste, but it tastes very good overall. Beautiful apple and cinnamon clashing with some honey taste, maybe a little bit of bitter hops and a sweet golden malt. Very pleasant. The mouthfeel is a little disappointing, as its generic with a watery feeling. Overall a very good beer indeed, and made for one unique and very tasty beverage. Definitely a must try!

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

pours a lighly hazy medium golden hue with a small frothy white foam and a nice effervescence. The aroma is malty with a mild wheat character and a light dusting of hops. The taste is malty with a light fruity character up front and a slightly citrusy but also with a hint of apple. Bitterness is quite low and hops aren't even as prevalent as in the aroma. The mouthfeel is medium body with a good level of carbonation and a good creaminess. Overall this is actually a decent beer.

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

pours a pale gold with traces of carbonation and a small head of foam in the glass. A few minutes later there's just a faint skim and ring of foam at the edges. The aroma is husky grain and apple aroma that carries over into the flavor. The taste has a barely there malt profile. Ok if you need to pound a few in beer pong or other game.

1947 Polar Venezuela Pale Lager 2.8

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

It pours a pale straw golden color with a fast-fading fizzy white head. Some trailing lace. A grainy cereal smell rises and remains throughout. A decent beer to drink while sitting on a beach in curacco watching the sun set, pairs well with seafood.

1948 Thirty Three Export Vietnam Pale Lager 3.5

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

a medium, stark-white head and a clear, golden appearance, with lots of lacing and little fine particles floating about. The aroma is of toasted barley and subtle spice. Taste is of toasted barley malt, grain, sweetness, and a light hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is a little watery but finishes crisp, refreshing, and easy drinking. This is a very good lager. Sampled this at the World of Beers, turns out it was the best beer of the night.

1949 Virgin Islands Blackbeard Ale Virgin Islands, U.S. Amber Ale 3.5

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

pours a nice dark amber (unusual for Caribbean) with nice off white head. A nice aroma of bread and caramel arose from the glass. The flavor was malty, sweet, caramel, and is bready with an aftertaste that is malty with a finish that is refreshing and fairly smooth. If i could have only 1 beach beer this would be it.

1950 Virgin Islands Foxys Lager Virgin Islands, U.S. Pale Lager 2.8

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

Wasn't as good as blackbeards Ale. Pours a light yellow with a small head. The beer is week and watery tasting for a lager. Aroma isn't much to speak of either. Not sure how this is brewed by the same people how make Blackbeard's ale.
