St. James Pale Ale from Half Pints Brewing Co.
16 years ago
5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Hazy blond color. Aroma of brewer’s malt, light yeast. The flavor is too anonymous, the light malt is even joined by a vague vegetables trace. Simple.

7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Hazy orange-amber color. The aroma is comfortably fruity and malty, elegant. Good caramel flavor; the yeast created a good combination of esters, light fruit, soft spice. Correct bitterness. Solid brew.

Humulus Ludicrous from Half Pints Brewing Co.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8
Beautiful copper-amber color, with a minimal, creamy head. The aroma, mild, with toffee, lightly sweet, has moderate resiny hops, for an almost creamy concoction. Strong body, toffee and malt flavor, sweet; strong hopping, resiny but not much fruity. Strong final, hop-oily.
Solid, but nothing new under the sun, therefore also pricey.

bottle thanks to my kick-ass trading partner to the North, Savvy1982, pours thick black, tall dark tan head. Aroma is pine hops, roasted malt and thin chocolate notes. The oak is present as well. Strong vanilla and burnt caramel flavors with a little booze and earthy wood and hop elements. Really nice porter.

Courtesy of after4ever. Thanks Tom. Pours copper with some gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma has lots of sticky pine and grassiness as well as leafy herbally notes. The taste is sweet with thick malts and heavy intense pine and grassy hops. Nice thick resiny goodness here.

bottle pours light amber with a medium off white head. Aroma is floral and citrus hops with a wood/earthy element. Flavor is sweet hay with a sweet fruity hop finish. Like an aged American barleywine.

Bottle at a tasting. Thanks David Cohen. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of grains, caramel notes, hops hints and light floral notes. Sweet stale grains flavor with some malt and very faint bitter hints in the finish. Light-bodied.

At a tasting, thanks David, almost no head, clear lemon yellow colour, aroma of fruit with touches of vanila and grass, stale grainy flavour with almost no hops, light and a little foul aftertaste, a bit like an industrial lager.
