Russian River Supplication

Smells a little sour and fruity. Slightly reddish brown amber. Pretty clear with no head. Flavor us a smooth sour that lasts throughout. Very drinkable.

Smiske Extra

Not much smell. A bit yeasty, thick white head. Highly carbonated, slightly grainy, a bit bitter. Not very good, a bit like dirt. Probably old or the trip over treated it badly.

Hoppin' Frog BORIS

Thick dark brown, very little head, but a touch of it is chocolate brown. Sweet, chocolatey, roasted nose.

Smooth on the tongue and deceptively easy drinking for a 9.5% beer. The dominant flavor is of roast near the end of the flavor, preceded by a full bodied sweetness.

Good beer. Not always my favorite style.

Leipziger Bier Spezialitat Gose

Pours a slightly hazy golden worth coriander on the nose. It almost tastes salty, with coriander and a hint of golden sour.
It's not bad, sort of word, but good. Probably very tasty when it's hot out.

Hitachino Nipponia

Pours an orange golden with very little head. I get a hint of sweetness on the nose, but not much else.

First taste puts me in the mind of a marzen. Malty and rounded, a hint of sweet, amd then an interesting tang of bitterness at the end. There's also a very light fruitiness throughout. This is good, a flavorful lighter beer.

Full Sail Ltd Edition Lager

Pours a rich black worth a slight head. Smells very clean, with only the slightest hint of darkness on the nose. First taste us slightly bitter leaving off to roasty followed by a clean finish.

This is a very good beer- try it if you can find it.

Ommegang XV Anniversary

Pours a deep reddish mahogany with a quickly dissipating head. Dark stonefruit nose, sweet. First sip is initially that ommegang yeast soapy character I don't generally enjoy, but my palette is soon overwhelmed by black cherries. It makes it more than drinkable. There's a slight cloying aftertaste, with more black cherries and plums and peaches, what you'd expect from a good dark candi syrup addition.

Well balanced, as it's almost ten percent alcohol.
