LUCID BREWING - AIR  The aroma is fairly hard to detect, very faint wheat and thats about it. The taste is about the same, a little wheat malt with just a little bot of floral hops for balance. A little thin or perhaps "airy" on flavor, almost like drinking a light beer which seems a little odd. Maybe a good entry beer for someone to get into craft beer, but personally i like a little more flavor. Although quite basic, i think it works for what Lucid was aiming for, its a light easy drinking beer, just dont expect it to stand out.

KISS - LICK IT UP  This is one of my favorite Kiss albums from the 80s, they released quite a few and some more pretty bad. A couple things that made this album special was it was the first album without their trademark make up and the first official album with Vinnie Vincent replacing Ace Frehley at guitar. Actually, Ace is not repalceable, but Vinnie was my favorite of the many who have tried. Major talent and hard style. Alas, there were some ego clashes and this was his last album with Kiss too. Kind of a rebirth album with then getting back to basics of hard rock which was a good sign. Pretty solid album all the way through with my highlights being: Exciter, Lick It Up, All Hells Breakin' Loose, A Million To One, and Dance All Over Your Face.
