Grainy aroma, then substantially thick with good strong hop bitterness. Pretty much textbook goodness. ID

Crystal Hero IPA

A nice hop aroma, and then just a nice flavorful IPA. Not thin nor overly bitter. A pretty good recipe that I'm happy to drink. ID

Pineapple Sculpin IPA

This beer just smells so heavenly of pineapple! Then the taste is a bitter IPA somehow wrapped in this amazing sweetness of pineapple juice that just envelopes the tongue. I thought this was going to be a weird combination, but it just works so amazingly that my mind is blown! Totally awesome, and actually normal enough to be any everyday drink. MB

My Bloody Valentine Ale

I love the color, and wow, this ale is smooth. A nice blend of malty backbone plus hop bitterness and a whiff of floral hop aroma and flavor. Very pleasant to drink, especially since I've had so many thin pale ales and IPAs lately. A very nice change of pace! MB

Citradelic Tangerine IPA

Very citrusy! But still tastes like a beer first with juice second, not so over fruity like the recent Dogfish that I rated. Another nice summery beer as summer quickly approaches! ID

Little Horror of Hops IPA

I got this on a great sale for $2.99 for a sixer, and upon leaving I saw multiple cases that I'm kicking myself for not buying! Has an aromatic bouquet of flowery hops that wrap around the tongue. And a nice smooth body. I like it, damnit, why didn't I buy all they had?!  ID

Festina Peche

Huge fruit nose, and all sour fruit flavor. Reminds me of cider. This would be good for girls on a Summer day. For me, it is just OK as I wait on impending margaritas! ID
