29 | Lindemans Gueuze Cuvee Rene | Belgium | Gueuze | 4.6
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 A golden color with a small white head. Barnyard, lemon, vinegar, on the aroma. Flavor is very dry and full of funk and vinegar. Dusty comes to mind. OMFG these are the same guys making the fruity stuff. Tons of cheese and funk. Like a shipwrecked barleywine or a weird relative. Aquired taste but worth opening your mind. |

32 | 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. |

35 | Marin Eldridge Grade White Knuckle Double IPA | United States | Imperial IPA | 4.6
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 A murky orange pour. The aroma is one of the best ever. A whole bunch of fresh pine and hops in the nose. The flavor is a big kick of malt and hops but still finds balance. A grapefruit, lemon, and orange taste. The aftertaste is bitter . This one is highly complex and tasty. |

36 | Samuel Smith India Ale | United Kingdom | IPA | 4.5
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 A top notch IPA from a top notch brewery. Aroma is complex and floral. Appearance is a redish golden color not typical of IPA's. Flavor is citrus, hops, malts, and pine. Now if Tadcaster would get the clue and bottle all thier beers in brown bottles, world domination would be in order. Fantastic IPA! |

37 | Affligem Dubbel | Belgium | Abbey Dubbel | 4.5
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9 This is an excellent Abbey Dubbel and may even my best yet. Aroma is chocolate and caramel. Appearance looks about like every other Dubbel Ive had, brownish/red. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, apples, oranges, complex for this style! The balance is perfect as the malt does not dominate. Palate is smooth with no evidence of the 7%. Overall its simple and to the point, no frills, but excellent all the same. |

38 | La Chouffe | Belgium | Belgian Strong Ale | 4.5
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9 This is my favorite Belgian blonde ale to date. A nice citrusy aroma and a smooth creamy citrus flavor of pears, peaches, and oranges. Hides the alcohol very well. An excellent beer. Rerate - This is even better than I previously thought, a hidden gem, I dont usually like belgian stong ales of the blonde variety but this is amazing. I want to try this with a rich chocolate dessert. WOW! |

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 Wow! The aroma is outstanding. Very floral and full of pears, peaches, and oranges. The appearance is a yellowish orange. The flavor is somewhat sour with a spicy citrus fruit flavor. You can hardly taste the alcohol.
