New Belgium Biere De Mars

2007-06-11T14:36:00.000-07:00

This is a Specialty Brew from New Belgium Brewery, this ale has hints of orange peel as well as lemon. This is a Spring time beer made from a less known style from southern Belgium. 6.5/10

Samuel Adams Summer Ale

2007-06-11T14:30:00.000-07:00

Yet again, another seasonal brew By Sam Adams, but this time it is a Summer Seasoned Ale. This is another Wheat beer, but this beer has a hint of lemon in it as it finishes off smooth and crisp. 6/10

Samuel Adams White Ale

2007-06-11T14:25:00.000-07:00

This is another seasonal brew from Sam Adams which is a Beglium style white wheat beer. It is in unfiltered wheat beer with a white appearance to it. This has a clean crisp finish to it. 6.5/10

Samuel Adams Black Lager

2007-06-11T14:16:00.000-07:00

Just about any beer coming from Sam Adams, you know is going to be good and this beer is no exception. Call this a Schwarzbier or a black beer, either one is correct. This beer is lightly hopped and is fermented using a bottom fermenting lager yeast giving this beer a medium body brewed using several different roasts of malt to give the end product a smooth finish. 6/10

King Fisher Premium Lager Beer

2007-06-11T14:07:00.000-07:00

This is a Beer from New York, and I think I remember this beer being semi bitter, but I can't recall, and their website isnt much help either. But try this is if you want, I don't remember much about it. 4/10

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

2007-05-18T03:55:00.000-07:00

As you may have figured out by now, I'm not much of a fan of pale ales, I guess I have not acquired the taste for them yet, but this one was alright. This is another beer from Sierra Nevada brewing in Chico, CA, which has a very hoppy flavor, yet goes down rather well. 5.5/10

Blue Moon Belgian White

2007-05-18T03:48:00.000-07:00

When I had this I thought this was one of the best beers I have ever had, its smooth, tasty, goes down well, but after a while my mind changed. This is a good beer if it is all you are drinking or eating (drink with an orange). I really enjoy this beer still though, and it is so much better out of the tap. It is a Belgian White Wheat beer that is unfiltered. The parent company of that brews this beer is Coors. 6.5/10

Shiner Light

2007-05-18T03:42:00.000-07:00

This is one of the better light beers I have had. It tastes like a not light beer, but is still considered light. It is an amber light beer which has only 120 calories for every 12 oz. (like you are counting). 6/10

Celis White

2007-01-05T23:12:00.000-08:00

Here is Celis White, which is a white wheat beer with herbs and spices, which leaves your taste buds going crazy tasting all the unique flavors of this beer.

Sierra Nevada Wheat

2007-01-05T23:08:00.000-08:00

This Wheat beer from Sierra Nevada is an unfiltered wheat, and comes off with a spicy flavor, light in color, strong on taste which is always a good choice to try if its available.

Shiner Dunkelweizen

2007-01-05T22:51:00.000-08:00

This is Shiner's version of the Dunkelweizen beer (Dark Wheat). Strong flavor that is smooth in your mouth to make you wanting more, but i still prefer hefe over dunkel.

Shiner Hefeweizen

2007-01-04T22:18:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite Hefes. It is an unfiltered wheat with a full flavored taste with or without a lemon. You have to know how to pour an unfiltered wheat beer to get the full taste and flavor out of this beer because of its in bottle fermentation.
7.5/10

Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout

2007-01-04T22:07:00.000-08:00

This is a black beer that I was kind of scared about trying from the name, but the name also made me curious to try it. It had a dark coffee like flavor like you would find from a typical dark brew.

2007-01-04T21:15:00.000-08:00

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA

2007-01-04T21:09:00.000-08:00

I don't know what is up with this beer, I could barely drink the whole bottle without gagging, I don't have much taste for IPA's, and this one hurt. It was supposed to be good, but I guess my lack of taste for IPA's led me to not like this beer, not anyone who i let have the other bottles that i didn't want anymore. This isn't for the weak, at 9% alcohol by volume, and the IPA taste, you need a strong taste, and stomach for this beer.

New Belgium Frambozen

2007-01-04T21:06:00.000-08:00

This is another Fruit beer but from New Belgium and it is also a raspberry flavored beer. This one in my opinion is better than the Celis, but it is still a fruity beer, but in your mouth, it feels like it has a more "alcoholic" taste to it.
5.5/10

Celis Raspberry

2007-01-04T21:01:00.000-08:00

This is a Fruit beer for Celis out of Michigan. They call it a malt beverage with fruit juice, but it is considered a beer. When they call this a fruit beer, they mean it, you can taste it loud and clear.

2007-01-04T17:23:00.000-08:00

This is a light and refreshing filtered wheat beer. With a very crisp taste, and lemony flavor that is supposed to remind you of a sunny summer day. I still prefer unfiltered wheat to filtered wheat.

2007-01-04T17:08:00.000-08:00

This beer is a dark black beer. You would think with its color it would be a strong flavored beer, but this beer is smooth with a clean, refreshing finish. I would recommend this beer to anyone

Samuel Adams Boston Ale

2007-01-03T23:17:00.000-08:00

Samuel Adams Boston Ale has a more "alcohol" taste than the Boston Lager. This is a pretty strong and decsently full bodied. If i had to choose between the Boston Ale and Boston Lager, I would choose the Boston Lager.

Sam Adams Light

2007-01-03T23:12:00.000-08:00

Sam Adams Light is probably one of the best Light beers I have had. Sam Adams always makes a good brew, and this light beer is no exception. If you are stuck at a bar with a small selection of beers, go for this one if they have it. Very flavorful yet satisfying, even though it is a light beer.

2007-01-03T23:08:00.000-08:00

This has a light, but malty taste with a hint of citrus, this was brewed in Houston, TX. This is a good beer to try, but I would prefer to drink something else.
