Justice Brewing - Whiter & Nerdier

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


For being billed as a White IPA, its not very bitter. Its not a typical white ale though. I don't get any coriander or other weird spices except maybe orange or something acidic.

For all of my complaints, this is actually enjoyable. I wouldn't go through the trouble of buying another, but if you find yourself in the Pacific NW, it's certainly a nice beer.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
It has a taste of oranges and bandaids.

21st Amendment -Sneak Attack Saison

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


I still remember the first beer I had with cardamom in it (a seasonal by Magic Hat). I wasn't quite sure that I liked it. Five years later, I'm still skeptical. I'd pass (although the can art is once again fantastic).

Long Trail - Brown ALe

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Its a brown ale. Nothing outstanding. Not terrible.

Bruery - Fruet

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


This could probably use a few years on it. Very strong alcohol burn (even though its at least 6 months old). No need to drink the entire bottle (although I did). Any dark fruit or barleywine-like flavors are just buried under the bourbon and heet. I actually liked the previous versions that weren't 100% barrel aged better. I'd get another bottle in the future, but I'd give it at least two years.

Capt. Lawrence - Imperial IPA

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


A fine example of the style. Nothing earth shattering though.
