Eloise from Drowned Lands Brewery (Warwick, United States 🇺🇸)

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

I have a 16 oz can from an east coast retailer. I've appreciated Drowned Lands before, let us see how that continues. My New Belgium glass is ready for the pour before I do so. A clearish pale gold liquid topped with a decent level of ice white foam. The nose is subtly filled with hops, a bit of tropical fruit and likewise with citrus, none standing out. The taste elevates the beer. Moderate with grapefruit, malt, a small pineapple sweetness and a decent hops bitterness. For the beer being a DIPA, I anticipated a fuller sensation, didn't get it. Not bad, not great.

Neon Riot from Brewery Ommegang (Cooperstown, United States 🇺🇸)

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

Another purchase from Half Time Beverage, this will be my first Belgian IPA in a long time. A globe glass awaits before I make the pour. The appearance is a milky yellow body followed by a slender but steady ring of fully white foam. The scent is has a vinous quality, tropical, grain and hops. The taste, well, not my thing, but I will proceed. Long soaked wood, a hint of guava, some hops, an indication of yeasty esters and white wine. This is the right beer for the right person but not me tonight.

I Am McLovin from Martin House Brewing Company (Fort Worth, United States 🇺🇸)

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

I purchased a big can in the Fort Worth area late last year, hoping now the beer is okay. The pour is an amber-orange, I cannot see through it. Smells of tropical and hops and citrus. A drink gives up guava, grain, hops, varnish, pineapple, a bit of grapefruit and hay. Some sweet, a small bitterness. Another IPA that strikes me as splitting the difference between NE and WC styles while packing a strong ABV. I like IPAs in line with this one, but do not love them.

Cayman Jacked Strawberry Margarita Extra Strength from American Vintage Beverage Co. (Chicago, United States 🇺🇸)

2 months ago

5.6/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 6

I have a 19.6 oz can that slips easily into a sleeve to stay cold which is what a malt liquor needs to do. I pull the tab and take a smell. There is plenty of strawberry and some citrus in the background. It does taste of strawberries and lime along with something metallic. Rather sweet and I detect the booziness. Not really tasting like a strawberry margarita but it’s not bad.

Coconut Pete from Martin House Brewing Company (Fort Worth, United States 🇺🇸)

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

My local beer shop had a 12 oz can so I picked it up at a good price. Martin House is a brewery relatively close to me, well, it is in Texas at least. I’ve had many of their beers, they generate new ones frequently. A snifter from the now-closed Buffalo Bayou brewery gets the duty this evening. I have to call the color of the pour jet black while the here-and-gone head is a rich mahogany brown. The nose is chocolate, grain and a true as advertised coconut. I have a drink and there is nothing lacking. Equal amounts of dark chocolate and coconut, a touch of nuts and some woodiness. A subdued sweetness and a decent bitterness, well done I say. No acknowledgment from the 10% abv but I trust it is there. A surprisingly good imperial stout.

Off-Road IPA from Spoetzl Brewery (Shiner) (Shiner, United States 🇺🇸)

2 months ago

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

This will be a first for me, an IPA from Shiner. I located a stovepipe can (19.2 oz in case you do not know) at one of the HEB supermarkets in town. The pour into my Great Heights tulip glass shows a clearish gold-orange liquid followed by a lofty head of completely white foam. It has a surely hazy nose about it, there is mangoes, pineapple and a bit of citrus. The taste is decent. Mangoes again, a bit of pine resin, a small honey sweetness and white bread. Nothing earth shaking but a fair enough hazy IPA out of a Texas-centric brewery in the southeast part of the state. The sum is greater than the parts.

Phaze Dust from Elysian Brewing (Seattle, United States 🇺🇸)

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

I have a stovepipe can located in the cooler at a convenience store outside Las Vegas a couple of months ago. Don’t know the makeup with this one so I’ll wing it. Tulip glass arrayed and I do the pour. Gold mostly maybe some orange too and a decent little head of icy white foam. I smell citrus, tropical too and a bit of hops. Tastes of more hoppiness than expected, lemons, a bit of guava, malt and marmalade. A nice enough sensation, I believe the moderately high abv contributes to that. Probably not a beer I seek out again but I’m enjoying this one.
