2376 Harpoon Summer Beer United States Kölsch 3.2

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

A golden appearance with a nice head. Slightly bitter citrus taste. Not complex at all but refreshing. Decent stuff.

2377 Hornsbys Draft Cider United States Cider 3.2

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

Tastes about like every other cider Ive ever had. Sweet apple taste maybe a little less sweet than Woodchuck but sweet nonetheless. Do you think an apple hit Issac Newton on the head, he fermented it, got smashed and came up with the concept of gravity? Ummm dont ask.

2378 Iron City Beer United States Pale Lager 2.2

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

This was do-able for a mass produced lager. Nothing offensive in the taste. Pretty clean and straight foward just nothing in the taste dept. I could see this for a night of swilling, if thats the goal

2379 J. W. Dundee's Original Honey Brown Lager United States Lager 3.3

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

Much different than I expected, after having Michelob Honey Lager which could rival a candy bar in sweetness, I just dont taste alot of honey here. Which is ok by me, I knew the time would come when I rated this and I dreaded it, but I have no problem with this beer at all.

2380 Mendocino Blue Heron Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.4

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

Apperance is of any other lager with a better head. Taste is hoppy with a nice malt overtone. Palate is a little bitter with a slight hint of a lager in the background. Overall its a decent pale ale and nothing to turn down and nothing to seek out. I would buy again, but I think this is a so-so microbrewery whose best effort is Eye of The Hawk. Still worth a shot if only once.

2381 Michelob Amber Bock United States Dunkel / Dark Lager 2.8

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

Taste is quite similar to Michelob with a little extra malt. A bock? I dont think so. This is a gateway beer for swill drinkers. But this is by no means a high quality beer. Average effort.

2382 Michelob Black & Tan United States Porter 3.4

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

This is the one beer that impressed me from AB. A decent porter I must say. There are certainly better examples of the style but it's better than alot of those other micro-wannabes in the Michelob sampler packs. Good dark appearance, faint but good aroma, a little thin but still enough coffee and chocolate flavor to make it work. Not a bad pick up when macros are the dominate choice.

2383 Michelob Honey Lager United States Pale Lager 2.8

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

If Winnie the Pooh became an alcoholic, he would be at the 100 acre bar with Piglet slaming down one honey lager after another, my point is HONEY and way too much of it. If you are craving candy bars and beer, then this is the one for you. Oh bother!

2384 Michelob Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.8

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

Ah another light beer from AB. As far as that goes its the best but what does that really say? Yellow appearance, light head, aroma of corn, and a thin funky palate just like any other light beer. This has a little more flavor to make it slightly better than say Bud Light but there is still no point in drinking this swill.

2385 Michelob Marzen United States Marzen / Oktoberfest 2.8

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

A decent dark larger, a Marzen? Not hardly. Some malt present in the flavor but too much carbonation. Nothing I would consider to be bad however. Another AB wannabe craft beer with training wheels.

2386 H.C. Berger Chocolate Stout United States Chocolate Stout 3.8

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

This brewery has been out of business for over a year so how I managed to stumble across this is beyond me. But low and behold there was a lonely 6 pack sitting on the shelf. The beer poured like motor oil. Dark black appearance with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malts and chocolate. Its slighty bitter with a heavy chocolate taste. Some sourness is present in the aftertaste. Not a bad stout at all.

2387 Barrel House HardCore Hard Cider United States Cider 3.5

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

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.

2388 Michelob Seasonal Brew All Malt Lager United States Pale Lager 2.5

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

Part of the Michelob winter sampler pack. Tastes like a well crafted malt liquior? Good enough for a swill fest but warrants this as a "seasonal brew" Leave it to AB to figure out this one!

2389 Milwaukees Best Ice United States Pale Lager 1.0

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

A nice alcohol burn with some metal and corn in the flavor. Just buy some hard liquor if you want to get ripped that bad. Blech!

2390 Milwaukees Best Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.3

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

Not completely nasty like the regular Beast or the Ice. Tastes like a dirty glass of water. Keep looking better swill does exist.

2391 ODouls United States Reduced Alcohol 1.2

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 3

When one is faced with the question of - should I drink alcohol? dont let this in the equation. If for whatever reason you cant or dont want to drink alcohol, many tasty alternatives are available. Coke, Tea, Coffee, etc. Why drink something that has no alcohol yet tastes like shit? There is no reason NA beer should exist, kind of like decaf coffee!

2392 Flying Dog Heller Hound United States Bock 3.2

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

Citrus and caramel aroma. A very light colored bock. Its a dark golden appearance with a moderate head and good lacing. Flavor is quite sweet with a punch you in the face amount of malt. Some citrus fruit, vanilla extract, and caramel present in the flavor. Some alcohol is noticeable in the aftertaste. Overall its a nice spring time seasonal offering but nothing out of this world. Fly Doggie Fly!

2393 Ommegang Abbey Ale United States Belgian Strong Ale 4.6

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9

An excellent American interpretation of a Belgain ale. Flavor is cherries, raisins, and plums. Apperance is dark brown with a nice head and excellent lacing. Aroma is similar to a fine red wine. Now there's more than one reason to visit Cooperstown for all you baseball fans out there!

2394 Old Milwaukee United States Pale Lager 2.0

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

This is better than I expected, and I expected something like the Beast! Smooth taste and not just plain nasty like Natty and Beast. Its acceptable on a low budget. However the light version must be bottled by Dasani because this is basically water itself.

2395 Old Milwaukee Ice United States Pale Lager 1.2

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 2

Ick, So I go to Atlanta this weekend and pick up some beers. Why do I pick this up you ask? Well I cant get this in Chattanooga and Im a fool! Sticky sweet cooked corn flavor with an alcohol burn. I dont mind regular Old Milwaukee for a standard american lager but this is nasty! TOOO Sweet!

2396 Old Milwaukee NA United States Reduced Alcohol 1.1

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2

NA beers are stupid. If you cant or dont want to drink, dont get a pseudo beer and choke it down, get a freakin soda! Please. I will say less nasty than O'Douls. And what does that say?

2397 Petes Wicked Strawberry Blonde United States Fruit Beer 2.8

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

Smell the bottle, ahhh strawberry fields forever to quote the Beatles. Now to the beer. Its yellow colored with a taste more of lager than fruit. Quite a surprize considering the aroma was so full of strawberries. I got this in the sampler pack and I have no real problem drinking it, but I would never buy it otherwise. Overall decent and I fail to see the point.

2398 Petes Wicked Summer Brew United States American Wheat 3.1

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

Typical summer fare. Overkill of lemon taste more so that many other summer seasonals I've had. Lagerish beer with fair head, palate of lemonade and hops. Love that serial killer looking psycho playing baseball on my label. Basically lawnmower beer and little else.

2399 Petes Wicked Winter Brew United States Fruit Beer 3.5

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

Much better than expected because 1) I typically dont like winter seasonals, including Sam Smith's 2) Dont like fruit beer 3) Didnt care much for Pete's strawberry fruit beer, but aside from biased, good character, with raspberry flavor but no over kill with the fruit. Slighty spicy. Decent winter seasonal especially being from old Pete.

2400 Red Brick Peachtree Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.2

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

I've noticed that people from the Atlanta area have given the lowest ratings. Decent Pale Ale, very hoppy but at the same time a bit watery. Perhaps its just interesting enough to check out the brew tour and live music every Friday at 5:30 per the bottle
