BOULDER BEER COMPANY - HOOPLA PALE ALE  The can says this is a collaborative brew with Kyle Hollingsworth of the String Cheese Incident. While i have heard of the band, i am not too familier with their music. Can also has a QR code than unlocks free music, great idea! Smells of citrus and some floral hops. Taste is sweet with floral and fruity hops and a little pine. A nice easy drinking beer with an interesting flavor. Nice, and i love the music tie in.

BELLS BREWERY INC - PORTER  Smell consists of roasted malts with hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malts with chocolate and coffee. Nothing really stands out, but its a good standard porter and Bells seems to do a good job on most of their beers.

TALLGRASS BREWING CO. - BUFFALO SWEAT OATMEAL CREAM STOUT  Nice aroma, roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and a little vanilla. Lots of flavor, it follows the nose and is very nicely balanced. A little thin for a stout, but its full flavored and has a fairly low ABV of 5%.  Nice well crafted beer and i could put a few of these away pretty easy. First beer of theirs i have tried an looking forward to see what else they offer.

PEARL JAM - LIGHTNING BOLT  The newest PJ album, released yesterday and is their first new music in 4 years. I have been a fan of these guys from the beginning and was really looking forward to this, and it doesnt dissapoint. They continue to deliver. Lots of range on this one, maybe a little mellower than we are used to, but they continue to evolve and every song is solid. If you are a PJ fan, you will enjoy it. I just wish their current tour came somewhere near me, might have to organize a road trip.
