2551 Unibroue Trois Pistoles Canada Belgian Strong Ale 4.6

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

The best of this brewery by a long shot. Appearance is dark brown/red with a massive head. Aroma is amazing. Flavor is complex with cherries, vanilla, grapes, and plums. Alcohol is very well hidden. A top notch Belgian ale, and the best one Ive had not actually brewed in Europe.

2552 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 4.0

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

This one will grow on you. One of the better easily avliable beers out there and certainly the best beer Ive ever had with a twist off cap. Aroma is of hops and fruit. Flavor is hoppy with a grapefruit flavor. Easy to drink and quite flavorful.

2553 Rodenbach Grand Cru Belgium Flanders Red 4.3

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Pours a reddish/brown. Taste is mainly of sour cherries. This is one interesting beer unlike any other Ive had to date. Palate is slighty bitter and very sour. Certainly not one recommended in mass quanities, but sipping on a few of these would make for excellent night of drinking!

2554 Busch Beer United States Pale Lager 1.2

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

More crap in a can. Metal funk and corn out my wazoo! Best drank in a trailor park sitting in a broken down car on cynder block with your blood hound name Jimmy and wearing a wife beater. Here comes your wife with a facial hair and a mole to tell you that you are missing Jerry Springer interviewing your cousin for sleeping with midgets with mental disorders. Please!

2555 Westvleteren Abt 12 Belgium Abbey Quadrupel 4.8

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

A very complex and flavorful belgian. Good warming effect with the alcohol. This one is pricey and hard to find, but you must try it at least once in your life.

2556 Red Stripe Jamaica Lager 2.9

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

Appearance is yellowish with almost no head. Aroma is faint. Flavor is fairly crisp and smooth with some hop bitterness. This is a "when in Rome" beer. Nothing beats a Red Stripe in Jamaica or in a restaurant while eating Jerk wings. One of the better American style lagers. If this didnt cost so much I would probably pick it up on a regular basis, but unfortunatley it has the import price tag.

2557 Petes Wicked Ale United States Brown Ale 3.3

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

A fairly bland brown ale. Appearance is dark. Flavor is quite tame with only a slight hint of malt and nutty flavor typical in a brown ale. A good session drinking beer but nothing outstanding. It seems to get more tame every year or so. But since its priced in the category of say Budweiser, its a good pick up for a night of drinking over the usual crap. Overall a pretty good beer.

2558 George Killian's Irish Red United States Vienna / Amber Lager 3.1

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

This is probably in the top 3 of mass produced American beers by the big 3 (Bud, Miller, Coors) Appearance is redish with a beige head. Fairly thin mouthfeel. Flavor is good with some malt present and a smooth finish. A good quick pick up and avaliable almost anywhere. I will give props to this beer. It can get people interested in better beer. However it is only slighty above average. Overall I enjoy it for session drinking.

2559 Coors United States Pale Lager 2.0

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

Typical American lager. Fairly watery but has a bitter aftertaste. Appearance is yellowish and typical of any other American lager. This may be a little better than some of its counterparts but its nothing really good. If you take it for what it is, its ok.

2560 Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue) Belgium Belgian Strong Ale 3.4

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

This was my first belgian and after this I was hooked, very complex flavor with grapes, raisins, vanilla, cherries, and other fruit lurking in the background. Pours dark with a nice head. Aroma of fruit and a hint of alcohol. RERATE : Many Belgians later this is not as great as I thought. Its has a mild yet flavorful taste but I dont think it runs with the big dogs of this style. Overrated for sure. The Red and White are better. Dull at this point. A disgrace to be in the BP top 5 I hope to see it gone soon.

2561 Budweiser United States Pale Lager 1.9

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

Typical American mass produced lager with more rice and corn to cheapen costs. Nothing horribly offensive but there are many better mass produced beers in the same price range. Michelob is the same price, and while its no world class beer, its a much better beer to pick up that this. Best I can say is - It will do.

2562 Natural Light United States Light / Lite Lager 1.0

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

Tied with The Beast for the worst beer. Taste like corn and rice filers. Metallic nasty taste. Low alcohol so it wont even get you drunk. Hey college kids, there are better beers for low $. This is crappy beer period!

2563 Guinness Stout Ireland Dry Stout 3.9

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

No better apperance on any beer in the history of beer! Taste is a little watery and bitter but very good. Good easy drinking dry stout but not the best stout out there. This is a classic beer for a reason. You will always see me smiling if I have a correctly poured pint of guinness in my hand.

2564 Mendocino Eye of the Hawk United States Strong Ale 3.7

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

Pours an orange color. Aroma is of mainly hops and citrus. Taste is a mixture of malt, alcohol, hops, caramel, and lemons. Fairly complex and easy to drink for such a high alcohol beer. Similar to a barley wine. Good beer!

2565 Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru Belgium Belgian Strong Ale 4.8

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

This is one of the best Belgians Ive ever had. Complex is an understatement. Every sip of this is like heaven. Peaches, raisins, plums, vaniila, cherries, almonds... you name and its there. Good mouthfeel. Keep that corkscrew handy and be prepared for an awesome beer at a reasonable price!

2566 Anchor Porter United States Porter 4.3

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

This is one of the best porters out there. Appearance is dark with a good beige head. Flavor is chocolate/coffee and very malty. Smooth taste that gets a little sweet after more than a few. An absolute beauty of a porter. Go get one right now!

2567 Heineken Special Dark Netherlands Dunkel / Dark Lager 2.6

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

A dark beer but its nothing amazing. Pretty much in the leauge of a Killian's, which isnt a bad thing, but overall its a basic lager that adds just enough malt to make it dark but adds little on taste. Pretty average and overall a pretty good beer at best.

2568 Ayinger Celebrator Dopplebock Germany Doppelbock 4.7

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

This is a top notch beer. Pours almost black with a good head and lacing effect on the glass. Aroma is of chocolate and malt. Taste is amazing! Its a coffee/chocolate taste with enough hops to keep it from being too sweet. An excellent dopplebock and very similar to a porter except more alcohol is present. A world class beer!!!

2569 Newcastle Brown Ale United Kingdom Brown Ale 3.6

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

Good brown ale. A good widely avaliable intro into a world of better beer for a Bud drinker. Taste is nutty and a little watery but flavorful. Apperance is brown with little head. A little inconsistent due to the clear bottle. Good beer but a little pricey for what you get. Overall a good session beer and probably one of the best on tap in a limited selection situation.

2571 Samuel Adams Boston Lager United States Vienna / Amber Lager 3.7

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

This is good for a mass produced beer. A dark orange appearance with a moderate head. The flavor is slightly bitter with somewhat of a soapy character to it. It works when your in a pinch.

2572 Milwaukee's Best United States Pale Lager 1.0

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

This is the worst tasting beer ever. Tastes like what I imagine piss would taste like. Golden appearance with a funky corn smell. Metallic taste similar to licking a metal pipe. Horrible even for a cheap beer. Pass on this crap!
