BOSTON BEER CO. - SAMUEL ADAMS LONGSHOT BEER FLOWER WHEAT The longshot series from Sam Adams is a series of 3 beers per year that they make only once and are chosen from a contest. They choose 2 homebrewer recipes and one from an employee. This is a 2012 homebrewer winner from James Schirmer. Has a nice smell, wheat with some floral notes. The taste is the same as the nose, but the floral is more pronounced. Nice beer that is easy to drink, but nothing real interesting to make it stand out. They have been doing these Longshot beers for awhile, but this is the first i have ever seen around here. I like the concept and wish i could find others.
LUCID BREWING - SURFSIDE 2013 This is a German style lager. Lucid made this as a one time only beer for the Spirit Of The Lakes Festival. Nice aroma and taste, malty with a hint of lemon and grass. Pretty typical of a German lager, nothing really stands out to set it aside from the rest in this style. OK beer from a Minnesota brewer, checked their website to see what they have going on right now and was surprised that this beer isnt even listed, all they show is the 2012 Surfside. If they want to play with the big boys it would be nice if their website was a little more accurate.
TALLGRASS BREWING CO. - ETHOS IPA Pretty nice IPA. Has a pleasant aroma, heavy on the hops with a little citrus and some pine notes. Nice taste, lots of hops up front with a lot of grapefruit and some pine. Nice balance, great easy drinking IPA, another excellent beer from Tallgrass.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND - HOMETOWN BOYS This is a bootleg of their concert at Wrigley Field on September 7, 2012. I was there and this might be the best concert i have ever been to. I had a blast and Bruce put on an epic show. It featured special guests of Tom Morello and Eddie Vedder. Sound is pretty decent on this one, but it is a bootleg, and it does have its little quirks. No big deal to me though, i am just happy to be able to relive a great fun night.
