Orenda - Volume 3 from Pollyanna Brewing Company

3 weeks ago

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Pint can acquired from a liquor store in the Chicago area several months ago. A cooler early June evening, I believe it’s time to sample this brew. My favored New Belgium globe glass gets the duty, I open the can and make the tilt. Dark gold body with a minimal white head. The nose is nice, I’m a long time in-between tripels. Extremely ripe yellow fruit, grain slightly, yeast and perhaps some spice. I take a sip and then more. Apricots initially, white bread, a karo syrup sweetness, yellow plums and a bit of booziness.Nice and thick, on the heavy end for the style, this pleases me. A good domestic tripel.

PartyBomb Party Crasher Hard Strawberry Lemonade from Deschutes Brewery

5.5/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 5 Overall 6

Deschutes looks to be getting in the 19.2 oz convenience store single can business. Give the market what people want to buy these days it appears. No problem to me. The stovepipe can I have came from a QT convenience store in the area near the stadium where the Texas Rangers play baseball, brought it home to sample. Severely chilled in a bucket of ice water, I open the can and pour a touch into a small clear glass. Basically clear in color, certainly no strawberry influence here. There is a strawberry smell and citrus too if I try really hard. The taste is actually pretty good in the universe of malt liquors. Strawberry certainly and I get more lime than I do lemon. Still citrus in any case. A beer that is easy to drink. Not overly sweet, tastes similar to a strawberry margarita and there is the 8% abv to show itself later.

Void Crusher from Lone Pint Brewery

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

A 12 oz can that came from the local beer shop, I do appreciate the style considerably so the bar is set high. And they are hard to find. My Buffalo Bayou tulip glass is ready and I take the pour. I see black, of course, in the body and a thin but steady cover of creamy tan foam. The scent is roasty, hoppy and also gives off some pine. A drink delivers roast, a touch of chocolate, cedar, a nice hops bitterness and some earth. Nice.

Speedway Stout Grand Prix MMXXV - Chocolate Pecan Pie from AleSmith Brewing Company

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

The third of four in the series, a pint can bought from a liquor store in the Chicago area. A progression towards what I hope are the better ones, I have a New Belgium globe glass ready. An ink black pour with a steady skim of dark tan foam, it delivers like a can of motor oil. I take a smell, geez this is good, bakers chocolate, pecans, baked wheat bread and toasted malt. The drink starts with a thick sensation I appreciate. Following is chocolate malt, coffee, scorched toast, a touch of toffee, a boozy background and a decent bitterness concluding. Rather well done and yes, this is the best of the three tried so far.

Lush Double IPA from Frost Beer Works

I have a 16 oz can delivered by Half Time in upstate NY early this year. Great Heights tulip glass in place and I take the pour. I see a mostly hazy yellow-gold body with a moderate top of completely white foam. I take a sniff and find fruit, citrus and tropical, in varying amounts. A drink now, not bad really. Grapefruit, pineapple, a spot of papaya and hops to a lesser degree. I get a plush and full mouthfeel from this beer. Pleasant IPA.

Pennsylvania Tuxedo from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

6.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5

Not positive where I got this beer, but it’s Dogfish Head, I have my expectations. 12 oz can opened up and tilting inside of a Buffalo Bayou tulip glass. The view is a shiny but dark gold-amber body topped with a fine and creamy head of parchment foam. Lots of carbonation. Yessir, I smell pine and that is not a bad thing. I have a drink, wow, where did that come from? Spruce tips must be spruce tips and there is plenty. It’s like I’m drinking a beer out of my cedar chest. Nice depth in the sensation experience. I can appreciate a change for change’s sake but this is a one and done.
