Goose Island Sofie (2009)




Per the bottle: 80% Belgian Sytle ale blended with 20% Belgian Style ale aged in wine barrels with orange peel.

I like it a lot. The belgian yeast imparts only a slight banana taste. Its a lot crisper and tarter (lemon) than most belgian ales. Good times. I'd buy it again.

Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA




Nicely balanced IPA. Some malt, lots of hop taste, but not too bitter.

I'd buy it again.

Terrapin Hopsecutioner




Another in the series of beers that Elwood may be able to purchase.

Not a terribly unique IPA. Not bad, not great. Certainly not as lively as the name.

Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary - Fritz and Ken's Ale




This one's for Elwood because there's a 3% chance he could buy it, rather than the 0% chance like most of the beers on here.

A collaboration between Sierra and the founder of Anchor Steam.

Slightly sweet. Lots of coffee and chocolate in the taste. Slight bitterness. Pretty good, not my favorite though.

Green Flash West Coast IPA




This has grown on my as I've worked through the six pack. Brewed with a slew of hops varietals. A slight maltiness in the taste. Lots of citrus up front with a piney bitter aftertaste.

Good brew. I'd get it again.
