Double Dale's

Oskar Blues

Austin, TX

Brewed with juicy, tropical El Dorado and complex Talus hops. Fruity, piney flavors from the hops mingle with a caramel-driven malt bill, and the whole beast is supported by a new mineral-forward house blend of H2O, which includes six brewing salts.

If you like double or imperial IPA's then this is one for you!

Hazy Jane Mango

Brew Dog

Columbus, Ohio

 

When a beer says it has fruit I expect it to taste like it. I want to taste the snoz berries.

I am happy to say that you can smell abnd taste the Mango throughout the experience.

This full-tilt fruit machine of an IPA packs all the flavour. Notes of pineapple,mango, stone-fruit, and a hint of tangerine to mix it up. Brewed with oats and wheat and left unfiltered for a smooth juicy hit.

If you like mango and hazy IPA's than this is your beer.

Negra Modelo

Grupo Modelo

Mazatlán, Sinaloa Mexico

They call this a Munich Dunkel but to me this is a great example of a Vienna Lager.

The aroma is malt forward - grainy malt, caramel, a touch of a roasty nutty noteTaste follows - sweet and grainy malt, bready with a caramel flavour.

This is my go to beer in Mexican restaurants. Just add a twist of lime and your ready to go.

Preamble

Arm Forces Brewing Co

Lakeland, Florida

The beer itself is drinkable but nothing specail. The company calles is a session lager which I have no idea what that mean. I would call this a blonde ale. The apperance is cloudy and taste more like an ale.

They say it is made with Pale malt and Crystal hops which would make this a smash beer.

What it lacks in taste the company makes up for with the name and great graphics. Their concept appears to be one big fund raiser. They have a great PR guy and Graphics designer.

Cat Shot

Armed Forces Brewing Co

Lakeland, Florida

While the beer is drinkable it taste like it was made from a kit beer by a home brewer. It is not clear and taste like it has oranges in it

 

Made with Continental Pilsner and flaked maize or so they say and Crystal Horizon hops.
