226 Back Road Millennium Lager United States Helles / Dortmunder 3.5

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

A lager very similar to a European pilsner. Golden appearance with a nice head. Flavor was slightly bitter. Very clean and refreshing. This would make an excellent session lager when you are in the mood for something lighter.

A copper color with virtually no head. The aroma consists of alcohol, dark fruit, and some brandy notes. The flavor consists of maple syrup, honey, sherry, and grapes. A very warming beer but not as sweet as I had imagined. Overall this was a very nice barleywine.

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

This poured a pale yellow color with some odd lemon detergent aroma. The flavor is Heineken. Yes folks I didnt describe it I said Heineken. We’ve all had it before, you know the taste. Lets hope its cheaper and less trendy though!

This poured a copper color with a white head. The aroma contains perfume, pine, oranges, and lemons. The flavor is bitter but has a solid malt presence as well.

237 Ballast Point Wahoo Wheat United States Witbier 3.1

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

A cloudy yellow apperance with a moderate white head. The flavor consists of lemons, apricots, and vanilla. A very nice sniffer. The flavor is pretty much what you expect from the aroma. It is a little thin on the palate but it is only 4% and probably made to be a quaffer. I enjoyed it.

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

Wow, what a little suprise we have here. This has to be the jewel in this brewery’s rusty crown. A chocolatey aroma. The apperance is black with a small beige head. A very rich flavor with some cappucino and chocolate. Not too sweet its very well balanced. Dont be scared away by the price or the source, this is a must try.

242 Baltika 9 (Extra) Russia Strong Lager 3.2

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

The aroma is butter and lemons. The flavor is absent of alcohol and corn which is indeed odd for the style. Its kind of citrusy with some lemons present. Extremely smooth and maybe the best malt likka Ive had to date.

245 Baron Pilsner United States Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.3

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

A pale yellow color and looks like swill. A moderate white head on this one. A faint corny and grassy aroma. The flavor is dull with some grassy notes and corn. The malt bill is what seperates this from standard BMC. Hardly a true to style German Pils. Pretty crappy.

Possibly the best cider I’ve had to date. Apple aroma and a golden appearance. Flavor is tart granny smith apples. This one is a little bit on the drier side. Not as sweet as many other commercial ciders. Crisp finish.

250 Bass Ale United Kingdom English Pale Ale 3.2

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

This is a typical mainstream english pale ale. Good appearance, a watery thin palate, flavor is decent but a little bland. Overall its a way for the masses to try better beer but its nothing outstanding. I dont mind it however, and its a treat in a black and tan
