LUCID BREWING - DYNO PALE ALE  Very intense floral and citrus aroma, pretty typical for a pale ale. Taste is citrus and floral, it has a lot of citrus up front, the hops have a nice bitterness and level of flavor, but i dont notice much in the malt department. Not much there behind the hops for balance. Not bad, just not very complex; a solid effort, but there is nothing about it that stands out.

LUCID BREWING - SILO SAISON  Very malty with Belgian yeast. Spicy fruity aroma. Flavor matches the nose with hints of lemon, banana and cloves, a little on the sweet side. Almost reminds me of a Hefeweizen. A decent beer, nicely balanced, just a little confused on what its trying to be, but thats probably just me.

LUCID BREWING - DUO DOUBLE IPA  Nice 9% ABV on this one. Aroma is citrus right away and then some pine notes. Taste matches the nose, seems a little more muted than the aroma though. More citrus and grapefruit, a little pine and a slight sweetness from the malts to balance it out. Alcohol is hidden really well, no notice of it in the smell, just a little in the flavor, finishes with some warmth. Excellent beer. My favorite from Lucid so far and a added bonus that they are a Minnesota brewery.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC - POLKA PARTY  This is probably my least favorite of his albums, but its still Weird Al, so its still fun to listen to. Decent songs, just none that are too memorable. My favorite on this one is Christmas At Ground Zero, not even a parody, but an original song. Still, all of his albums are worth lidtening to.
