Jai Alai  Cigar City Tampa, FL An intense bouquet of tangerine and candied orange peel entice the nose while flavors of clementines, Valencia orange and subtle caramel provide counterpoint to an assertive bitterness and rich malt character. Bold hop flavor and aroma from six different hop varietals is front and center in this flavorful American IPA. IPA

Operation Fermentation  Southern Star

NEW RELEASE
Conroe This was a Pro-Am winner.  The grains come through as they should on this syle.  (Munich & Carafa II) followed by the light hop flavor of Hallertau hops.  This would be a great fall beer! Munich-Style Dark Larger

Expatriate Three Weavers Inglewood, CA Great Flavor!    Bright, tropical, fruit-laden West Coast IPA is brewed with two-row barley, English crystal malt, and cutting edge American hops including Simcoe, Mosaic and El Dorado. Notes of mango, pineapple and strawberry culminate in a resinous, dank finish synonymous with the West Coast IPA style. West Coast IPA

Sabroconut Island Saint Arnolds

NEW RELEASE
Houston, TX This is a new release for them and the first time to my knowled that they have used sabro hops. I was not a fan of the nose but it had a strong Pinapple taste and smell (Note I am allergic to coconut so I was very careful to make sure that there was no actual coconut in it.)  Sabro imparts distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream.  Some will say that the coconut flavor is harsh but I really believe it is more in the nose than the taste.   IPA -Double New England

Hella Chella  Karbach

NEW RELEASE
Houston Let me say this is not a style I like. It actually smells pretty good, from a michelada standpoint. Spicy, tomato, savory. Taste is slight tomato, salt, chilies, a generic beer flavor brings up the rear.   It looks horible in the glass so this may be one to leave in the can.  The taste is all spice.  Now I like spice and love Bloody Mary's  but this just taste off and did not improve with additional samples.  It has no carbonation.  I did not finish this beer. Michelada
