MrSpooks Profile

Very tart, more like a wheaty gose than a proper hefe, with a hefty dose of lemon acidity that overshadows the normal banana-clove notes. The label calls this a traditional Bavarian hefeweizen so something has gone terribly wrong here.

Kirkland Signature Helles-Style Lager from Kirkland Signature / Costco Wholesale Corporation

2 months ago

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 7

Pretty darn tasty for a standard Helles lager, crisp and grainy with notes of cut grass, a touch of lemon and honey, and a mild floral bitterness on the back end. Not too shabby.

Tasty WCIPA, lots of sweet citrus and pine and caramel, a nice mix of modern juicy notes and old school IPA goodness. Solid pint.

JMJ (Jesus, Mary, & Joseph) from The Lost Abbey

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Leans towards the style of hazy I can tolerate, where the sweetness is kept in check and the beer isn’t overhopped to the point of being a chive-flavored astringent mess. Moderate tropical grapefruit notes accented by a touch of melon, finished off with a mineral bitterness. More pine would be nice. Not bad.

Alpha vs. Beta Carotene from Fonta Flora Brewery

2 months ago

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Interesting idea—IPA + carrots!—but the execution is just kinda odd, with muted hop notes against an earthy-floral carrot sweetness and a touch of pine on the back end. Worth trying but one is plenty.

Cognitive Indifference Towards Something More Fulfilling from Burial Beer Company

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Getting to be old hat, these positive ticks of mine towards Burial WCIPAs. Another winner, mixing melon, white grape, and tropical notes against a firm pine bitterness. Tasty pint.
