30th Anniversary Grand Cru
|
Houston, Tx | Ok I must admit that it the wrong time of year for this beer but I had to take one for the team. This is beer is for you Louie!!! To celebrate Saint Arnolds 30th Anniversary they took their Commitment Imperial Stout, aged in a variety of different bourbon and whiskey barrels for different durations – between two and four years. The barrels were then blended into sweet and fortified wine barrels: Madeira, Tokaji, and Tawny Port for additional aging. Finally, these barrels were blended a second time to create our Grand Cru. This beer comes in at a wopping 16.8% so it is not to be shotgunned. This is a beer that should be enjoyed in front of a fire place in a sniffer over an extended period of time. Perhaps even to be shared with a close freind. This is very rich and decadent. Bourbon and red wine flavors are strong. Figs. Boozy. If your so inclinded this would be a great cigar beer. If I had one complaint is that I wish it was a wee bit more carbonated. |

Double Yellow Rose |
Magnolia, TX | This is Lone Pint's 10th Anniversary Brew. What they have done is bumped up their Yellow Rose and tanken it from 6.2 % and 62 IBU and increased it to 10% and 90 IBUS. : Double Yellow Rose It has great carbinaiton with just a more intense flavor compared to Yellow Rose. Made with Pilsner malt and Mosaic hops. If you like double IPAs then this is one for you! |

Little Yellow Rose, Little IPA |
Magnolia, TX | Good carbonation and nice lace. As advertised this is a lot light than Yellow Rose. While it ghas a slight grapefruit, pineapple aroma I find the taste to be grassy. To me it is to lite but if your looking for a lite IPA this may be for you. Made with Pilsner malt, and Mosaic hops. |

Lemon Shandy |
Shiner, TX | Shiner came out with a new shandy so I figured why not give it a try. This is brewed with agave, premium 2-row and wheat malts, and Spoetzl Brewery’s very own lemonade made with cane sugar.. It pours with little to no carbonation which may just be the case for the bottle I tried. While you can taste lemons it really taste more like lemon peels. It is very lite in body and flavor. I must admit that I am not a big shandy person but if this had more carbonation I would find it to be a great refreshing summer drink. Perhaps I will seek a second bottle to compare to. If you like shandys then deffenetly try this one. |

Porch Rocker, Lemmon Raddler |
Boston, MA | This is Sam Adams attempt to do a Bavarian Raddler. I say attempt because in my opinion they fell a litte short. While it has a lite smell of lemonaid there is almost no flavor of lemmons and only a slight taste of grain. Perhaps I am to hard but if it says lemmon I want to taste the lemmon. Made with two-row pale malt, Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops and lemon puree. On a possitive note the carbonation is done well. |
