WEYERBACHER BREWING CO. - IMPERIAL PUMPKIN ALE This is a nice smelling pumpkin ale. There is a little pumpkin on the nose but the spices really dominate, mostly cinnamon. The aroma gives high hopes, unfortunately that is where it stopped for me. Just seemed to fall a little flat (i had 2 bottles from 2 different stores), it just not that pumpkiny or spicy. It just seems kind of thin and the flavor is just a little muted. Not a bad beer, just average.
BIG BAY BREWING COMPANY - UFER BIER This is a Oktoberfest Marzen style beer. Standard aroma for the style, but pretty weak. Boring flavor, caramel malts with a little breadiness, but just nothing exciting. Maybe a good introduction to the style for somebody, but for a fan you will be dissapointed.
THOSE DARLINS - THOSE DARLINS I saw these ladies open for the Drive By Truckers a few years ago and loved the live show. Punk rock atittude blended with rock and country, punkabilly? The live shows have a ton of energy, but this, their debut album, is just ok. Most songs sound the same and the production leaves a little something to be desired (luckily, i have their albums after this one and know they have got better), however, it is still a fun listen and gives some hope to future sounds. Favorites: Red Light Love, Wild One, Snaggle Tooth Mama, and DUI Or Die.
