Extended Weekend Beer Review!

Starting early!

1) Lagunitas - Daytime IPA - 4.9% - A fractional IPA or so they call it. Very drinkable and a go to beer!

2) Hoppin Frog - Barrel Aged Naked Evil - 11.3% Aged in Whiskey Barrels - Holy shit is this sweet.  There is absolutely no carbonation, you get some caramel and coconut.  This is a real sipper!  Been wanting to try this for a while and I have 3 more bottles (although not for tonight).

Weekend Beer Review!

1) New Glarus - Barleywine - 12.0% American Barleywine - Bit of a hop presence not sure on the American Style designation (Hops etc)

2) Bootleggers - Palomino Pale Ale - Nice West Cost Pale Ale...done.

Weekend Beer Review!

Man I missed a weekend!

1) Blue Point - White IPA - 6.0% Nice Belgian yeast to go with the hops. Suprised they did not release this earlier in the summer.

2) Avery - Uncle Jacobs Stout - 17.4% Wow absolutely redicolus - Bourbon, Vanilla, honey man almighty outstanding!

I built this Beer Blog Beer Review!

In light of the umentionable (Empty Chair) in Charlotte (as well as the Yankees tanking)


1) Firestone Walker - Double DBA - 12% - Old Ale - Pour a nice opaque caramel brown. Pretty light looking but the taste definitely makes up. Vanilla, Coconut, Caramel....hey is there a bit of hops there! Although it is a cliche, need to cellar one!

Weekend Beer Review!

1)Flying Dog - El Dorado Single Hop - DIPA 10.0% - Not that intrigued by this hop. Nice I guess?

2) Ommegang - Biere D' Hougoumont - 7.3% - Biere De Garde - Love this and I am a hop fanatic. No hops are noticeable but the funk is there! Well done!

3) Cisco Brewers (Island Reserve) - Russian Imperial Stout - 13.5% - Tasty little stout that belies its ABV. Definitely get cocoa, vanilla and a bit of smoke here. Thanks Gator!

4) Great Divide - Wolfgang 8.0% - Dopplebock. Not me favorite style - If you are going to do this make a barleywine!
