| TINT IPA, Spindletap Brewery | Houston, TX | Fruit smell, Lime and tangerine with some pine taste, very carbonated, island flavor but not a fan. They call this a session IPA. Not much hop flavor.

| Brewer's Pride Colab Becker Vineyards, Spoetzl Brewery | Shiner, TX | Caremel smell with white Oak , taste is neutral with a sour finish! Wine Barrel Blonde Ale Aged on white oak. Red wine is very prominent, it totally overpowers the beer. Taste a bit sour perhaps from the barrel. | Barrel Aged Blonde | 6% | 15 | 2 | 4 | 3.5 | 2 | 3.5 | 3 | |
| Martin House Pils, Martin House Brewing | Fort Worth, TX | Soap smell. Fruity taste, thick , plenty carbonation , cloudy , off taste. Did not finish it. Not what I expect from "ultra premium lager"!!! It had bits floating in it. In all fairness to the brewery this beer may have gone bad on the self. |
