Oakes Profile - Brewver

Dark chocolate, this has a decent caramel character, a bitter chocolate. It's okay, has that sort of harsh husky bitter character that characterizes a lot of their dark beers.

Super Sauvin from Hetty Alice Brewing

This has a pale malt character, moderate bitterness. The hop character comes together - not a lot of individualistic elements...some apple/pear stuff and then maybe a bit of grape. Balanced, though I'd prefer more bitterness.

Vin d'Orge from Microbrasserie Ruisseau Noir

6.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Pale amber-brown, slight haze, and a thin head. The aroma here is a big sweet, some bubblegum. On the palate, medium body, a touch of acidity, some caramel, again a bit of bubblegum, and alcohol. The barrel isn't great, lends some tannins.

Pale blonde, slight haze. The aroma has a lot of pear, bitter citrus, some stone fruit. On the palate, it's got a clean pale malt character, lots of hop. Well-balanced.

50 Mile Lager from Slow Hand Beer Co.

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Had this at Dark Fields and somehow forgot to enter it. Pale and slight haze, thin head. Lots of pale malt on the nose and a bit of herbaceous hop. Mild bitterness, medium sweetness. Malts slightly sticky but not a lot…not a bad malt character at all.

Numbskull Imperial IPA - 16 - Krush from Lighthouse Brewing

11 months ago

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

Darkish amber, kinda murky-looking, as these always are. Medium head. Old school chewy aroma, same palate. Crystal malt bomb in effect. Lots of alcohol. That early 00s IIPA base isn’t a great showcase for a hop like 586, and there’s limited unique hop expression here. It all just devolves into chewiness.

Celestial Bodies Hazy Double IPA from White Sails Brewing

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Dullish pale, sort of an overripe fruit. Some alcohol, vague malt, hop character is okay. It’s fine.

Here Comes the Summer from Cabin Brewing Company

Pale yellow, and hazy. Medium head. Fruity, apricot and orange hop notes. Good body, splash of alcohol…7% right on, and thankfully made at Cabin. Magnum for proper bitterness. Well-balanced, the malt allows the bright and fruity hops to shine.
