1) NebCo Coriolis ! Eagerly anticipating this for the last few weeks. Poured into a 668 tulip glass. Nice head that quickly dissipates. The taste has a lot of range I get apricot, pineapple, peach and a bit of spicieness. The alcohol is very well hidden.
2) Stone Brewing - 16th Anniversary IPA 10% a Dipa that tastes like lemon pledge. Brewed with lemon verbena. Not a fan.
3) Clown Shoes - Chocolate Sombrero - 9% Chocolate and Vanilla are really noticable but any spiciness has faded on this beer that was realeased 5/12. Good beer. Would have liked to try this fresh.

Weekend Beer Review!
Pre Annual Bluefish Game Edition!
1) Bootlegger's Brewery - Rustic Rye IPA - 6.2% - Pours a nice hazy orange. Nice frothy head. Smooth caramel malt with just a bit of hops and rye spiciness. Good pre game beer!
2) Samuel Adams - Fat Jack - 8.5% - Not too spicey not enough Pumpkin (I don't like pumpkin ales anyway) an Octoberfest on Steroids? Maybe!

Midweek Beer Review?
Been a while for one of these!
1) Widmer Bros. Old Embalmer '12 Barleywine Ale - 11% - American Barleywine yet I don't really get the hops I was expecting. Very smooth not sure what aging this might do. I like this. More of an english barleywine I guess!

Weekend Beer Review!
1) Knee Deep Brewing - Simtra - Tiple IPA 10.1% ABV - The simcoe and citra hops really balance out. Wish this was local but unfortunately it is from California!
2) MacTarnahan's - Full Bloom - Classic American Lagee at 6.3%. Nice Session beer!
3) Weyerbacher - Sour Black - 5.0% No real alcohol buzz here but man is there a loan of taste. Well done.!
4) Green Flash - Barlewine Style ale (10%) may be done!

Weekend Beer Review!
Man I skipped a week...I suck!
1) Great Divide - Rumble IPA 7.1% - An oak aged IPA - I get what they are trying to do, muting the hops with the aging....nice beer keep the hops!
2) The Bruery Fruet - Old ale 15.5% Happy 4th anniversary done!
3) Dogfish Head - Urkontinent - Dubbel 8.1% - One of their better offerings I think. Part of their historical series. Nice chocolate flavor to this. To me the maybe more of a porter?
4) Dogfish Head - Positive Contact - 9.0% - A wheat beer brewed with Apples. Very similar to a Tripel. Glad I didn't spend money on the box set with the record though!
5) Sierra Nevada - Brux - about 8% or so. Wild ale brewed in conjunction with Russian River. Nicely dry have a bottle for the cellar but may just scarf fresh!

1) Clown Shoes - Miracle - IPA - 5.5% American IPA - Nice IPA would I buy it again...most likely not.
2) Cisco Brewers - Monomoy Kriek - Sour yes!
3) Central Waters - Peruvian Morning - 8.5% - A bourbon barrel aged stout that is unfortunately infected. Get the coffee and a bit of green apple. Still better than bud.
4) Founders Brewing - Frangelic Mountain Brown - 9.0% - Coffee beer (bown ale) flavored with hazelnut. The alcohol is very well hidden. Not much of a fan of this though.
5) Rogue - Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale - 5.6% Very strange beer - Supposed to be about some doughnut shop in Oregon. Cool bottle though.
6) Captain Lawrence - Rosso e Marrone - 10% -Flanders Oud Bruin...Fantastic sour...actually very outstanding. Can't say enough about this.
7) New Belgium - Tart Lychee - done
