151 Anderson Valley Boont ESB (Extra Special Beer) United States Extra Special Bitter 4.0

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

This was certainly more bitter than many of the English bitters Ive had. It reminded me more of a west coast IPA. Appearance is golden with a good head and lacing. Aroma is citrus, hops, and strangely enough some cheese. Flavor is hoppy and sour with some pine notes. Whether its an IPA or a bitter its still a great beer.

152 Anderson Valley Brother David's Double Abbey Style Ale United States Abbey Dubbel 3.6

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

Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma contains some toffee, caramel, and spices. The flavor is quite malty with some nuttiness, caramel, and toffee. The palate is a bit thin but thats all good. Some booze in the finish. Overall not bad for a US made tdubbel.

153 Anderson Valley Brother Davids Triple Abbey Style Ale United States Abbey Tripel 4.0

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

A sunkist soda aroma with a hint of lemon and perfume. A dark orange appearance with excellent lacing. The flavor was very earthy with a doughy presence. I get a good deal of bananas and oranges. It blended well. A different take on the style but good nonetheless.

154 Anderson Valley High Rollers Wheat Beer United States American Wheat 2.8

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

This was a pretty boring beer. Its a yellow color with little head. Some citrus, wheat, and cloves in the flavor. Overall this was a weak effort but American Wheats are difficult to make above average. So why even attempt to brew them?

Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma contains some lemons, funk, oranges, and vinegar. The flavor is sour with a bit of vinegar and lots of lemons. Some of that saltiness shows in the aftertaste. Overall a very good refreshing beer.

160 Anheuser World Select United States Lager 2.8

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

Not nearly as bad as I imagined. AB cant seem to get the aroma to improve, it still smells like a Bud. Appearance is a dark golden color. Flavor has some malt character vs the usual rice character. Some bitterness in the flavor as well. Im not going to knock it just because it's made by AB. A pretty good lager and better than many Ive had. Easy to knock but as good as many European lagers just not worth the cost.

161 Antares Barley Wine Argentina English Barleywine 2.6

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

Ah a barleywine from Argentina, cant wait! Sarcasm aside.....An amber apperance with a little head. The aroma is citrus, hay, and corn. The flavor is a bit sweet with some caramel and grassy notes. The citrus is showing through again. I’m not sure what the goal of this beer was but it is hands down the worst barleywine I’ve had.

Orange color with no head. The aroma is honey and alcohol. The flavor is quite sweet with a warming effect. Honey is the main thing going on with some apples, raspberries, and pears. A very syrupy texture and a slightly spicy palate. Good stuff, thanks E!

163 Appalachian Jolly Scot Scottish Ale United States Scottish Ale 3.1

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

A dark amber appearance with little head. A faint caramel aroma. I was worried my cold was preventing me from smelling this one. I was told by others present that it just had little aroma. Some cherries, raisins, fig, and nutmeg in the flavor. The body is way too light on this one. Eh its ok.

164 Arcadia Batch 999 United States IPA 4.0

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

Another shout out to JaIce and Kem for all the beer brought down. This was a very nice IPA. It defines balance. The flavor consists of pine, grapefruit, and orange peel. A nice malt backbone followed by a bitter pine taste. I really enjoyed this one.

166 Arcadia Bourbon Barrel Shipwreck Porter (Vintages Through 2008) United States Imperial Porter 3.6

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

A brownish black appearance with a large tan head. This bottle blew up all of the place upon opening. Luckily I didnt open it. The aroma is chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, and coffee. The bourbon really takes over this beer unlike any other barrel aged beer Ive had. Behind the burbon lied some chocolate, vanilla, and raisins. A sweet finish.

168 Asahi Super Dry Japan Lager 2.4

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

This smells like cooked green vegetables I swear. The appearance is golden. The flavor is very crisp with a sourness to it. Super Dry describes this one well. I feel like I need a glass of water after drinking it. Nothing that great for sure.

171 Asheville Pizza Ninja Porter United States Porter 2.9

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

This ninja is smoking! Well I’ll get to that later. The appearance is a dark brown to black color. The aroma contains some coffee beans, chocolate, and a bit of smokiness. The flavor leans toward the bitter side with hints of chocolate, stale coffee, and a very smokey finish. The palate is rather thin. Overall not bad but could use a little something else.
