BOULDER BEER - NEVER SUMMER ALE Interesting smell, some caramel, some spices, and a little citrus. Taste has some sweet malts, cinnamon and fruit notes with a hop finish. Nice complexity, goes down pretty smooth. I actually thought this was a summer beer until i opened it and read the label, and its actually a winter seasonal. I didnt see a best buy date, but pretty sure i bought it not too long ago, but not sure if it was old or not, if it was, it held up well.
TYRANENA BREWING COMPANY - THREE BEACHES HONEY BLONDE Has a smell of wheat, grass and lemon, with a slight hint of honey. Taste has honey sweetness with some light fruit notes. Pretty flavorful. Highly drinkable, first beer from them i have tried and was fairly impressed.
SALZBURGER - STIEGL RADLER Stong grapefruit smell (surprise!) and not much else. Basically a grapefruit flavored beer, although the beer taste is barely noticeable until the end. (not shocking since its only 3.2 ABV). Most shandy and radler beers are pretty hard to pull off in my opinion, but this one does a good job. Its probably not going to be on many beer drinkers lists of their top beers, but its actually very good for what its trying to be. Perfect summer beer while grilling or relaxing on the patio.I would drink it again any time.
CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD - BIG MOON RITUAL For those that dont know, Chris is/was the lead singer of the Black Crowes. When they went on hiatus in 2011, he started this band. Definately in the vein of the Black Crowes sound, but more on the "jammy" side. Nice songs that have that loose, almost Grateful Dead feel. I think this is one of his best solo projects he has done. The whole album is solid, not really any stand outs though. I actually enjoyed them live more than the album.
