101 Jopen Adriaan Belgium Ale 2.4

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

I really wasnt digging this. A murky yellowish brown appearance similar to pond water. The aroma was ginger root, unknown spice rack stuff, and lemons. The flavors were really funked out like chili powder? vinegar, honey, and I dunno some herbal tea. This was weird as hell. Pass

102 Heavyweight Two Druids Gruit Ale United States Ale 2.9

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

An orange appearance. The flavor is similar to cough medicine. Some weird sour beer flavor and hint of herbal junk. No wonder most people drank wine back then.

103 Heavyweight Jåkeldrickå United States Ale 2.9

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

A murky orange appearance with no head. The aroma is very spiced filled complete with some Andies mint, ginger, and tobacco. Like sniffing a box of Newports or something. WTF. The flavor consists of mint, ginger, caramel, cinammon, and mint. Ho Ho Ho Merry freaking Christmas with all this mint and spice. Well I guess Santa has good a wad of snuff in his mouth because I taste tobacco as well. They are right Ive tasted nothing like it! Pass.

105 Fraoch Heather Ale United Kingdom Ale 2.5

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

I may have to go against the grain on this one. Smelled like it was from 2000 BC (that is how far this beer dates back according to the bottle) A sour funky flavor that just doesn't work. Brewing has come along way in 4000 years. Take advantage and get another beer! You may want to try to be "old school" I guess.

106 Pinkus Organic Münstersch Alt Germany Altbier 2.9

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

A new beer at the store up the road. The redneck behind me in line with his case of Natty Light said "Hell it better have a diamond in it for that price" Ah the joys of living in Tennessee! Anyhow aroma is wheat and lemons with some hops peeping through. It has a cloudy yellow appearance. Flavor is a little bland. Very lager like qualities to be a top fermented ale, sour fruit and wheat seem to dominate. This beer is ok but nothing I will be peeing my pants to return to. Sorry Bubba no diamond in this bottle!

107 Rocky River Copperhead Red Ale United States Altbier 3.2

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

Aroma is non existent. Appearance is a brownish red with decent lacing. Flavor is hopped with some sourness. Palate is a little watery and a touch bitter. Not a bad beer for something to sip on but nothing amazing at all.

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

Dark orange appearance. Fairly watery palate and flavor. Faint malt and hops are present. A nice little beer that will not offend swill drinkers but not impress lovers of more complex beer. Average

Excuse me I didn’t order the Yuengling? Amber color with a white head. Aroma contains some caramel and corn action. Flavor is slightly malty with some grassy notes. I gave Yuengling a 3.2 for providing a decent beer to the masses, Yazoo gets no such score I expect better. Overall decent.

118 Thomas Creek River Falls Red Ale United States Amber Ale 3.3

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

The beer pours a dark orange with a moderate head. A very faint malty aroma and very hard to describe what if anything I smell. The flavor is somewhat malty with some walnuts, oats, and a hint of citrus bitterness. The body is a bit thin but it does leave a hint of hoppiness on the tounge. Overall its standard session stuff but not too bad either
