Didn’t seem to taste as alky as it says. Probably my least favorite of my variety pack. First bottle seemed flat then next a little fizzy. Then next was about right carbonation. Then, next, then,next, then.... A little better than your average pale yellow american beer. IPA is not my fave. Will not buy again.

yes, my variety pack was old, too. Dated early 2005. But, what is old? I see others saying if they had waited another year it would be better! Although I thought this to have a little too much bitter after taste, the lively carbonation made this a treat. It feels like the carbonation in fine champagne. Though a slightly less (or more) than pale yellow american beer, it is not typical. Pretty exciting to drink. Purchased at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca for $1 per 12 oz bottle. yum yum. I purchased this for the dark beer but this one is my fave out of the variety pack. Would buy special again. If i’m to give a pale yellow beer a rating above 2, it’s good!

Rambunctious, frenetic and pliant. Tastes like it should have a higher alky content than what is listed here. Pours cloudy yellow in my three stooges glass. Had little bits floating in it too! I just love catching those little bits between my teeth and biting down on them. Clears up a little after it sets for awhile. Odd fruity aroma and pretty fizzy. Not a typical pale yellow american beer by any means, has much more personality. Odd and interesting at the same time. Perhaps a mild yeasty flavor. Taste is somewhat similar to dry champagnes I have had. Not too bitter like many beers i have tasted. Purchased at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca, $1 per bottle.

Purchased at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca. Cost was $1.10 per bottle. The case said Lovers Stout but this is what was inside, I was a little dissapointed. Carbonation is barely there. A dark beer that is pretty strong with a little bitter aftertaste. Flat, Ever so slightly little dark bitter chocolately or coffee. Many other less expensive dark beers may be better than this. Will not buy again.

Bottle. Brownish clor, with a light head. Wheat and hops are the main attraction in the aroma. The flavor is hoppy with some spices.

12 oz. bottle. Citrus flavor. Compared to other IPAs I’ve had this was pretty subtle. Gotta say that this was a fantastic one regardless.

Somewhat cloudy copper, with a ring of large bubbles, making it resemble a beer just pumped from the cask - lots of bright fruity esters in the aroma, with some background woody hops and caramel malt - very grassy and herbal, with a crisp hop bite - some light fruitiness, mostly ripe strawberry - chewy and doughy on the back end - really quite a nice bitter.

Thanks to whoever left this one after the Tennessee tasting! Pours hazy amber/orange with a creamy off-white head. Fruity sweet caramel malt aroma with some nice floral hops. Clean fragrant and lightly bitter overall. More sweetness at the beginning, finishes dry. Typical IPA for the other coast, but overall a decent beer.

Cask@ Brazen head cask festival. Poured into half pint glass. Color is light orange can see through th beer. The aroma is not distinct. However, it is made up for by the great taste. Lots of different grains, rye, and a sweetness,. Well balanced I would say. Leaves a sweet aftertaste. Medium light body with no bitterness.
