Allagash Fluxus 2010

IMG_0059

Almost tastes like a magic marker. In a good way.

I really liked this and would highly recommend picking up a bottle if you should run across one.

Really bitter. Mandy really liked it.

21st Amendment Back in Black

Slightly bitter but with a nice roast malt taste. Almost just a bitter porter.

If I recall correctly, this was a hit with the table.

New Belgium Blue Paddle

Not bad. Don't think I'd go out of my way to get it.

Goose Island 312

IMG_0050

Light and slightly wheaty. A lot better than the white ale

Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
It's paricularly goosey and islandy. Apparently those are good are good qualities that I'm looking for.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale

DSC03409

Pretty good. Probably not worth the $4 I paid for the bottle though I do appreciate actually being able to find some to buy.

Moderately spiced with cinnamon and some ginger coming through. Slightly sweet.

Goose Island Wrigleyville White

IMG_0049

Rather flat. Kind of has an off taste to it . Would not recommend for an after game drink.

I didn't finish it. I finished the Old Style (of course). Not sure what that says.

Goose Island Green Line Pale Ale

IMG_0048

Joe Drinks Chicago continues.

Fairly light but with a nice hoppy taste. Pretty great for outside drinking or drinking six in a row

Goose Island Matilda

Joe Drinks Chicago tour continues.

Generally refreshing Belgian ale. Not bad. Typical Belgian yeast taste.

Leaps and bounds above the Old Style.

Old Style

More from the Joe Drinks Dinner Chicago tour.

Tastes like any other shitty beer. But with more cursed baseball.

Three Floyds Gumballhead

IMG_0041

My first Three Floyds beer. Imbibed on our trip to Chicago. I was fairly excited.

A fairly hoppy wheat beer. I don't get any bubblegum aftertaste but it's light and refreshing. Good times.
