16 oz can from a 4 pack filled at the brewery. This is the last of the pack, and it had been pushed to the back of the fridge and forgotten about for a little while. Glad it turned up! Clean, lighter golden amber. Lots of loose foam head. Spicy bready malts, crisp taste, cracker malt finish. Unique lager, really refreshing. Surprised I so seldom see this style around anymore. Bready, earthy nose. Quite good.

Draft pour to a tulip at Bugu Brewing, Monroe. Pours bright, clean berry pink. Thin fading head. Mild tart, crisp pear flavor with a gentle berry. Refreshing, has a more fruity feel over being a sour. Some melon rind late palate linger. Unique and fun beer that sticks to their usual baseball theme. Enjoyed this.

Draft pour pint at Bugu. Continuing my quest to see how many Bugu beers I can rate before anyone else gets one. Bright golden haze, thin head. Zero bitter hazy, and makes for a very refreshing and easy drinking, flavorful brew. Mellow stone fruit, some orange, a touch of onion. Biscuit grains, but overall a fruity profile. Slick body, some melon notes late. No bite or burn. Unique and tasty hazy.

Draft pour pint at Bugu, Monroe. Clean pale gold that would be mistaken for cider in appearance. Very thin head. Crisp, easy drinker in the heat. Some mild corn, straw grain. At 5.3% in the Mexican lager category, this might even be considered imperial. Not the most flavorful brew, but probably not what they were going for on this. Served without a lime and holds it's own, so bonus points for that. Late lingering corn. I can be in the mood to drink a couple of these.

Draft pour pint at Bugu, Monroe. Fun brew here to trade off with when the chili de arbol is out of season. Dark near black pour. Thin head. Somewhat rich stout up front. Plenty of chocolate notes. Cocoa, soft vanilla. Hints of a spice, maybe just a bit of a spicy grain bill. Maple like linger. Big Maple Stout in the future? Incan see it from these guys. Nice stout between semi sweet and total dessert. Well made brew.

Draft pout pint at Bugu, Monroe. Cloudy golden yellow pour, thin fading head. Melon fruit, mold bitter grassy hops. Juicy nose. Slick taste. Easy drinking and refreshing hazy. Melon rind like bitterness lasts on the late palate. No chalk. Love the name. Tasty IPA.

Draft pour pint at Bugu, Monroe. Fun and refreshing light brew to pair with summer heat. Also, ask for Earl Grey, and that's what you get. No shortage of the advertised flavor adjuncts here. Bright golden appearance with a cloudiness. Big time tea aroma. Crisp flavor, a touch dry late. Tea leaves and a slight lemon like note. Very easy drinking if you enjoy the extra. Solid session brew.

On tap at Bugu, Monroe. Sounds like this was brewed as the feature beer for the local outdoor park concert series, and it doesn't get much more fitting for a summer outdoor event. Extremely refreshing and easy drinking sour. The lemon just adds a layer of tart and juiciness to this. Pale golden appearance, very thin head that fades. Sour lemon nose, a touch of wheat like grain. Definitely in the right setting for this. Very tasty.

Draft pour pint at Bugu, Monroe. Clean pale golden appearance, thin head. Forgot this was a strawberry IPA until first sip. Definitely there. Fresh strawberry flavor compliments the grain bill well. Hints of grassy hops. Crisp constant. Very refreshing summer beer for some outdoor enjoyment.

Draft pour pint at Bugu. Lemon juicy yellow haze, patchy head. Juicy melon hop profile with no bitterness. Easy drinking refresher. Soft biscuit grain background. A touch of hop burn, but again, without any grit or bitterness. Slick finish. Fun hazy to enjoy a couple in the 'pen, if it were possible.
