Flying Dog - Raging Bitch





This is probably my favorite beer that I've had in the past year. I've bought numerous six packs and had it on draft. Buy a six pack if you see it. Fantastic stuff. Such a glowing recommendation really means something if you know my typical reviews of anything and everything ("eh, its okay; its alright; not too bad; etc.).

A Belgian IPA. Basically, think of an standard IPA with some of the bubble-gum smells/taste of a Belgian pale ale.

Dogfish Head Burton Baton





Hmph.

A blend of oaked ipa and non-oaked ipa. I was hoping for more of the oaked taste. Just not there.

I suppose its a nice enough, well balanced IPA on its own, but not worth whatever I paid for the bottle. Or maybe it was, if it was under $3.

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout




wow. strong bourbon smell. really dense chocolate malts, with a bourbon/vanilla finish. i can't imagine finishing a bomber of this myself. its really great though, just in small doses.

Victory Yakima Twilight




Lots of roasted caramel taste with a lot of carbonation. Hops provide a nice balance in this. Its not too sweet which I like. Solid brew.

Founders Double Trouble Ale




This beer is awesome. Nice bright taste, lots of citrus with bitter finish. No sign of a malty taste. Great stuff and dangerously drinkable.
