Stillwater - Lower Dens

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


http://www.stillwatersensory.com/

This is supposedly a colaboration brew inspired by a song by Lower Dens (a Baltimore band). I listened to the song. Shrug (I think I had similar feelings about the Pearl Jam beer).

The beer itself is nice. A hint of fruitiness. Really balanced, maybe a hint of wheat in there. Pricey for the size (I think it was $7). Glad I had it, probably won't buy it again.

Lost Rhino - Pretty in Pink

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Not bad. Magnitudes better than the New Belgium Kriek last night. Would be a decent beer for the summer.

Sixpoint - 3 Beans

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Cocoa, coffee and ??? (kidney beans? chickpeas?) I think the box had some reference to barley beans or something. Instead of looking it up online, I'll just assume they added baked beans into the beer.

Rodenbach - 2010 Vintage

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


A sour (and expensive) ale!

Tart and cherry and vinegar. I haven't had the original in a while, and while this is nice, it probably wasn't worth the exorbitant cost.

Mission St Hefeweizen

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


Very good for the price. Nice yeasty banana notes. Good carbonation level. Another win by Trader Joes.
