Ginger!

Smells like ginger ale. Tastes like diluted ginger ale. Not terrible.

Baying Hound - Taj Mahound

Another local brew. From a "nano-brewery" in Rockville, MD.

I think I actually like this better than Dogfish Head's India Brown Ale. Pretty sweet with a lot of lingering bitterness. Solid deal for $5.

Lagunitas Lucky 13.alt

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

According to beer advocate, this is an altbier. I have no idea what that means as it doesn't taste anything like the description for an altbier on the site.

Seems like a fairly typical Lagunitas brew. Slightly malty, slightly sweet, a little bitter.

I'd actually be interested to taste their line-up all at once. I'm not sure I'd be able to distinguish any of them from each other.

Terrapin Monk's Revenge

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

More of a hoppy, bitter belgian ale, than a belgian influenced IPA.

Really sweet. Resembles a bitter triple. It's not really that good/balanced. Super sweet, clove, banana, etc. flavors and slightly bitter. I would not buy again.

Smuttynose Summer Weizen Ale

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Eh. This is pretty bland. Which is probably what I needed on a 95 degree day.
