251 Bavaria Dutch Windmill Netherlands Pale Lager 2.4

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

Its in a green bottle and not skunked, well good start so far. A cloudy yellow appearance. Almost no aroma exists and the flavor is crisp with some corny and grassy flavors coming through. Overall its more boring than anything.

252 Bavaria Holland Beer Netherlands Lager 2.5

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

In the Heineken leauge but maybe a notch above. Yellow appearance with a slighty skunky aroma. Taste is a little bitter but mostly non descript with a hint of skunk, what a shock from a green bottle. Palate is faintly bitter but mostly smooth. Overall a decent pilsner and more of a "true pilsner" than Miller Lite but nothing to seek out really.

253 Bavik Premium Pils Belgium Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.5

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

Smells like a Coors Light! Appearance is a cloudy yellow with a surprising good lace on the glass. Flavor is slightly bitter on the first sip but that quickly goes away. Some lemon notes are present. Probably a small step above American Standards. Nothing really wrong with it, its just boring.

254 Bayerischer Bahnhof Original Leipziger Gose Germany Gose 3.7

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

This poured a golden color with little head. Aroma contains salty lemons. Flavor is lacking that salt and is sour similar to a berliner. This is like gose light. Overall refreshing but not complex. Re-rate after the Gose phase of 2015 hit and I had many crap knock offs I tried this again and can appreciated it more.

255 Bayern Amber United States Vienna / Amber Lager 2.9

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

Not much to say about this one. A copper color with a malty aroma. I detect some vanilla in the flavor with a bready caramel presence. A hint of citrus in it. Slight sugary presence. Ok to sink em but dont think em.

257 Beach Bum Blonde Ale United States Blonde Ale 2.8

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

On tap at the BW3. This would be perfect for a beach bum I imagine. A golden color with a moderate head. The flavor is a lot of hay and some citrus in the background. The finish is rather malty. Nothing to get excited about but ok for summer fare.

258 Beamish Irish Stout Ireland Dry Stout 3.4

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

A typical nitro dry stout in the mold of Murphy’s and Guinness. Always interesting to watch it pour and its solid black with a puffy head. The aroma is faint coffee and roasted malt. The flavor is bitter with some hints of chocolate but dominated by coffee. The palate is thin. Overall decent for the style.

259 Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye United States Rye Beer 3.8

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

This one poured a murky brown, no no not murphy brown, MURKY BROWN! This one was quite hoppy with a nutty flavor to it. I can taste the rye in there but its not really standing out. Im also tasting some caramel and dark fruit. I enjoyed this one.

260 Bear Republic Racer 5 India Pale Ale United States IPA 4.0

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

Yellowish orange appearance with a small head. The aroma is floral and hoppy. The flavor was rather hoppy and somewhat sweet with a load of lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines. Quite good and I didn’t want to continue to pass this one around at the 04 GA gathering, but they made me anyway!

Another fine draft from Obriens in San Diego. This was a huge hoppy beer with a distinct earthy and pine filled aroma. The appearance was dark orange with a moderate white head. Some oranges and grapefruit swimming around. The aftertaste has a sour effect. Good on ya!

262 Bear Republic XP Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.7

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

Bright orange white head and heavy carbonation. Aroma sweet citrus....orange, lemon, grapefruit. Flavor is slightly hoppy at first then moves to a sweeter citrus taste where the fruit flavors in the aroma make themselves present. Very smooth body with a slightly dry finish.

263 Beatrix Netherlands Belgian Strong Ale 4.3

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

This was a pleasent suprise to see at the Noog Fest. This was a very LATE rating. Per my notes "A dark orange appearance with a champagne and M&M flavor. Caramel stickyness. It tasted like a spritzer almost. Orange soda and funky things" Hmmm you know what I don’t think Im going to rate anything else off of this particular sheet. Good stuff!

264 Beck's Germany Lager 2.0

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

Typical green bottle beer grass smell. Slightly crisp and bitter tasting with a little metallic ting going on. Decent beer but not worth that import price tag.

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

A dark brown appearance with a moderate head. The aroma is caramel and chocolate. The flavor is chocolate and grapes. This has a pretty weak palate but I dont mind drinking it. Not a bad pick up.

266 Becks Sapphire United States Pale Lager 1.8

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

A pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma contains some lemons and grassy notes. The flavor is sweet corn and some alcohol. A little bit of a metallic ting in the aftertaste. This is way too sweet and boozy for something thats 6%. Overall not good at all.

267 Beer Valley Owyhee Amber Ale United States Amber Ale 3.0

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

This poured an amber color like it damn well should! The aroma is malty with some citrus and caramel. The flavor is hard to describe because not much is going on with it. Yummy crystal malts abound. Overall run of the mill amber for drinking and not thinking.

268 Beermanns Bourbon Barrel Barleywine Ale United States American Barleywine 3.3

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

Orangish apperance. Taste was a mixture of sweet and sour. The alcohol was quite noticeable but the flavor was dominated by its sweetness. Some citrus and whiskey came through. Not one of the better barley wines out of the few I've had.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

Thanks to Sassy for sharing this. A yellow copper color with loads of carbonation. The aroma is mainly vinegar and lemons. Some funk is definitley present. The flavor is quite sour with some apples, lemons, vinegar, and cheese. A very dry dusty mouthfeel as well. Not as sour as some Ive had but very good.

271 Belhaven Scottish Ale (3.9%) United Kingdom Scottish Ale 3.0

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

Copper color with a nice head and wicked lacing. Aroma is of faint caramel and smoke. Flavor is weak and more weak. Some malt showed up for the party but quickly left. Overall I'll say its ok but there so many better Scottish Ale in the world I can't see fooling with this again.

272 Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA (US Version) United Kingdom IPA 3.9

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

This poured an orange color with a moderate white head. The aroma contains pine, grapefruit, and oranges. The flavor is rather hoppy with more grapefruits, orange, and a slight malt presence. This probably walks the line between APA and IPA but still a nice beer.

Pitch black color with a tan head. The aroma contains espresso, chocolate, licorice, dark fruit, and burbon. Flavor is rather bitter with espresso, dark chocolate, burbon, licorice, some raisins. The burbon is definitely there but does not overwhelm. Overall excellent damn beer. And KP showed up.
