bookman65 Profile

Part of a "beers of Christmas" box set I was gifted (otherwise, I don't think I'd be drinking this). Pours a dark, reddish-brown, with rather small head. Aroma is cardamom, clove, ginger, other spice. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel is fairly clean and crisp, given the adjuncts. Really not my thing, but your mileage may vary...

Pours a hazy, caramel-brown mustard color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is guava and vanilla, some citrus, some pine. Flavors follow. Could use just a touch of lactose or something to smooth out the bitterness in the guava/vanilla. Soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness in the finish.

This is...a stout? Something must be wrong here. This stuff is fizzy and lightly hazy, golden colored. I guess that's a style? Who knew? Anyway, I wasn't too impressed.

Pours a moderately hazy, orange-gold, with minimal head. Aroma is dank and astringent (almost a mint note in there), with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel kind of thin? Mild to moderate hop bitterness running through the finish.
