lagunitas - wilco tango foxtrot



This is Lagunitas' Wilco beer. It doesn't really taste like Wilco. Or maybe it does. Inoffensive, middle of the road, etc. It has a nice piney/hoppy bite to start and is pretty malty. Not sure I'd buy another bottle, but I'd certainly drink it again if put in front of me.

Great Divide - Hercules Double IPA




I ate some spicy pepperoni with this so that may have affected my sense of taste a little.

Pretty tasty. Not sure I'd get another bottle, but I'd certainly order it on draft if I ever saw it. Slight caramel taste to go along with a piney bite. Its pretty balanced for such a big beer, it certainly doesn't taste like a 10% abv brew.

Great Divide Hoss





The bottle said "rye lager" but its actually a marzen. Is rye lager a marzen? Is marzen a rye lager? No clue. Either way, this doesn't really have any rye taste to it.

Its comparable to Brooklyn's Summer Ale. Its a pretty decent beer. Good enough session beer.

Victory Baltic Thunder





I'd say this was pretty middle of the road. Pretty strong malt/toffee taste to it. Not really "complex".

I don't think I'd buy another.

Brew Dog Chaos Theory




My first beer from Brew Dog (from Scotland).

Not too bad. Mostly caramel taste with a fairly bitter aftertaste.
