Hopsecutioner IPA

Pretty decent. Six big hops named on the label. Good flavor, but nothing unique or spectacular. ID+

Pompeii IPA

A really nice dank hop flavor. Whatever that is, it is distinctly different from citrus fruity hop flavor, but an essential flavor to me. Give it this hop flavor AND fruity hop flavor, and maybe you've made about the best hophead beer, by my standards. It has a nice buttery malt body, so the whole package is just pretty damn good! MB

Triple Tail Tropical IPA

A pretty clean, hoppy, fruity, delicious IPA. This is in the direction I'm leaning for my favorite style of IPA. It is a little lower in alcohol, and a little cleaner, so more refreshing than my beloved Dank Juice, at the expense of being just a little less dank. Still, MB and poundable!

Loosey Juicy IPA

Definitely juicy. They're intentionally making this less bitter, but it's an IPA, it needs more. Yeast poop all over makes it hazy, hazy, hazy. There appears to be no actual juice, so all that flavor comes from hops, so that's cool. ID+

Tropical Lover Berliner Weisse

Apparently, "Mango, Passion Fruit, & Guava" means SOUR!  All I taste is the advertised "tart finish". So probably not bad if you dig the sour and hose genre, which I do. But when you're expecting a fruity beer and you get a sour, nah, that literally leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so now I'm a bit pissef, again. ID

Hop Screamer Mosaic IPA

Definitely a great hop aroma, and dominated by fruity hop flavor. The body is maybe thinner than I'd like, but this is great for hop flavor. This is the last can of my sixer, and I didn't think I was liking it these, but as I sit here to rate it, this is a solid hop flavored IPA. I think this is 3-0 for Brickstone. The brewery is close by, so I really need to pay it a visit. MB

Foggy Geezer Hazy IPA

The label says, "a super fruity and dank . . .", sorry, nope. It is neither, and deeply disappointing. It's an inferior IPA with a somewhat unpleasant flavor. It's not as bad as I'll rate it, but the rating is a bit of a punishment for terribly false advertising. ID-

Aloha Sculpin Hazy IPA

So Facebook has been harping on me to buy this, since I've liked Ballast Point. So I did. Charge them money. First off, not that hazy: if this is unfiltered, then they don't put much in it. Next, it's just ok. Nothing crazy going on here. Tiny bit interesting, but overall a pretty standard IPA. Despite the "aloha" title this doesn't come close to challenging their pineapple sculpin, which is one of the best fruit IPAs out there. Save yourself some advertising dollars and don't compete with yourself, BP! You already had the best Hawaii in a glass, so just keep pumping that out. ID

Imperial Oak Maibock

Sweet aroma. Thin body, which is pleasant and kind of dry. A little flat after only an hour or so in the growler. I could pound alot of this. ID
