2526 Sol Mexico Pale Lager 2.2

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

Your typical Mexican lager you get at the restaurant with a lime. That lime is to cover the taste you know. Same beer as Corona really. Whatever!

2527 Rogue Brutal Bitter United States Extra Special Bitter 3.9

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

A nice hoppy beer. Yellowish appearance with an aroma of west coast hops. Flavor is hoppy with some lemon in the background. Not very complex but a good hoppy ale. Fans of the hops will enjoy this, all others need not apply!

2528 Sierra Nevada Summerfest United States Lager 2.9

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

This needs to be taken for what it is, a summer beer. Sierra lets off the hops and brews a beer for summer. Typical lager appearance with a slight lemon flavor. Not meant to be complex its a summer beer. If you dont like summer seasonals then this won't impress you.

2529 Harpoon IPA United States IPA 3.8

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

This is a nice little IPA. More malts than hops with a citrus flavor. A good intro IPA. Complex but simple. I guess those Massholes can brew a good beer :) This and Sam Adams are Mass. contribution to society.

2530 La Trappe Quadrupel / Koningshoeven Quadrupel Netherlands Abbey Quadrupel 4.7

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

An underrated Belgain. Complex flavor of pears, peaches, oranges, plums and some alcohol. Rich palate. This is one bad ass Belgian! Try one right away, you won't be sorry.

2531 Rogue Dead Guy Ale United States Bock 4.0

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

So true to Rogue style. A hoppy beer more in an APA style than a bock. Good complex flavor with citrus and sour fruit present. Nice head. An underrated beer. Get one now you pretender to the HOP throne!

2532 Bush Ambrée (Scaldis) Belgium Belgian Strong Ale 2.7

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

Alcohol overkill. Some malts getting thier ass kicked by alcohol. Serious burn on the palate. This beer makes no effort at hidding the 12% ABV. I will make no effort to drink it. A horrible belgian!

2533 Mendocino Red Tail Ale United States Amber Ale 3.0

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

What is this? An average boring amber ale is what. Flavor is some malt but almost no hops. High enough alcohol to make it only available in liquor stores. The taste and body are lacking. I usually find this brewery at least pretty good. This is the redheaded stepchild, literalty. Decent effort.

2534 King Cobra United States Strong Lager 1.8

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

Im saddened at the lack of malt liquors on this site. Oh well the Shagmeister will fix that. A good ML even for it being AB. Smooth taste, flat but not disgusting. A good 40 pick up beotch!

2535 St. Ides Premium Malt Liquor United States Strong Lager 2.3

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

The best malt liquor in the world. No funky sweet corn flavor. So grab a 40 and bust out a rap. Its fuel for my Bling dirties. Bust a jam and enjoy the 8%. Cheapest krunk in town. Fo shizza!

2536 Unibroue Quelque Chose Canada Fruit Beer 3.8

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

A decent fruit beer. Recommended chilled or warmed. Screw that! I drank it at room temp. Good complex flavor of sweet cherries. Slighty sweet and somewhat tart. Good deal.

2537 Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA United States IPA 3.7

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

A simple IPA but one that may be underrated. Citrus nose. Flavor is a mild citrus and hops. Fairly weak for the style but a good beer nonetheless. Good intro IPA.

2538 Traquair Jacobite Ale United Kingdom Spiced Beer 4.4

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

This is an excellent beer. Appearance is dark brown with a generous head. Flavor is plums, raisins, grapes, and other dark fruits. Highly complex with a velvety finish. Truly a top notch beer.

2539 Amstel Light Netherlands Light / Lite Lager 2.0

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

Better than most light beers, but what the hell does that say? Low ABV but a decent flavor for what it is. Overall the price is too much for what you get, but if you must drink a light beer this is probably a top 3. Like the top 3 janitors!

2540 Cherish Kriek (Bios Kriek) Belgium Fruit Lambic 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

A nice lambic but not as complex as many. A dirty brown appearance with little head. A slightly tart flavor with a faint cherry flavor. A decent sipping brew but better lambics exist. Nice though.

2541 Unibroue 10 Canada Abbey Tripel 3.4

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

A boring blonde Belgian. Slightly sweet with no real complexity. Hides all the alcohol really well. Not a bad beer but nothing amazing either. Overrated in my opinion.

2542 Theakston Old Peculier United Kingdom Old Ale 3.5

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

This was pricey and not rightfully so. Appearance is a dark black with a ruby tint. Flavor is mostly malt with a hint of bitterness. Palate is a bit watery. A fairly good brew but not one worth shelling out 10 clams a sixer for.

2543 Rochefort Trappistes 10 Belgium Abbey Quadrupel 4.8

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

I had this with Westy 12. Wow! This is one excellent belgian ale. Dark and complex flavor mainly dark fruit with a slight smokey feel. It hides the high ABV well. Great for sipping. A little costy but hey life is short, so treat yourself every once in a while.

2544 Dogwood Breakdown IPA United States IPA 3.7

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

A good IPA from this local micro brew. Aroma is citrus and pine. Flavor is a little mild for an IPA, more malt than hops. Nice sour fruit taste. This is very similar to the Britsh style IPA's more so than the West Coast hop fests. This would be a way to get someone into the IPA style with out "Stone-ing" them to death with hops. Nice one.

2545 Sierra Nevada Porter United States Porter 3.7

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

A black appearance with a moderate tan head. The aroma contains some coffee, chocolate, and licorice. This porter is unique in the fact I pick up on some citrus notes in it. I also detect some coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. This porter bends itself on the hoppy side which is ok with me. Overall a great beer and easily accessible!

2546 Schaefer United States Pale Lager 2.4

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

Im shocked I had to add this beer to the site. Standard old school lager, some hops are present. A light lager that is a notch above many other American lagers in its class. And its dirt cheap!

2547 EKU 28 Germany Eisbock 1.9

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

The alcohol in this is like the Incredible Hulk, if you mess with it, it will kick your arse! This beer tastes like rum and burns so bad I mixed it with coke and put it on ice. This beer is torture and Im so happy to see its low rating. If you want to drink something that burns, just do liquor shots!

2549 Miller Genuine Draft United States Pale Lager 2.2

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

This could be one of those sentimental biased ratings. This was all I drank in college. But for an American standard beer, its not offensive. Pissy yellow of course, little aroma, smooth "cold filtered" taste. Which basically means they filtered out any taste. A good beer for hot days or parties where slamming beer is more important than flavor. And slamming beer IS more important than flavor in college. And only college. I was a very loyal Miller drinker back then for whatever reason. Decent for a quick gas station beer run.

2550 Grozet Gooseberry Wheat Ale United Kingdom Fruit Beer 2.0

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

This is crappy. Smells like some kind of rotten berries. Flavor is sour and very earthy and not at all pleasent. Brewed in a "traditional" fashion back when people didnt know brewing beers from a damn hole in thier head. Gooseberries? Get this junk out of my face!
