SUMMIT BREWING COMPANY - SAGA INDIA PALE ALE Smells of piney and citrus hops, very nice. Flavor had some nice bitterness with floral and citrus flavors, lots of grapefruit. Nicely balanced. This is a very good beer. Nothing out of the ordinary, but just what an American IPA should be. For the price, there might not be a better IPA out there. Great value beer, this should be a staple in the fridge.
ROGUE ALES - MOCHA PORTER This has a nice coffee smell with hints of chocolate and roasted malts. Strong coffee flavor with a nice mix of chocolate. The hops are definitely noticeable too. I can taste the coffee, but its not overpowering which is good since i am not a big coffee drinker. Not bad, but nothing exceptional, kind of like most Rogue beers i have tried.
NEW BELGIUM BREWING - SHIFT LAGER Light aroma of toasted malts along with some citrus hops. Upfront there is some toasted and pale malts with a little sweetness. Then follows some light floral and citrus hops which have just a little bitterness. This beer is very flavorful for the style and easy to drink. A little more interesting than most American lagers due to the hop prescence. Nice beer. Another solid offering from New Belgium.
JAKE TROUT AND THE FLOUNDERS - I LOVE TO PLAY First off, the band was PGA golfers Peter Jacobsen, Mark Lye and the late Payne Stewart. Think of Weird Al Yankovic doing an album of golf themed music. This is what you have here. These guys did a great job and this one is a fun listen, especially if you are a golf fan. Songs: I Love To Play, Strugglers Blues, Love The One You Whiff, Play The Senior Tour, I Just Wanna Cry, It'd Be Good (To Just Make Par), I'm On 18, Get Better, Get It To The Hole, Metal Wood, and Time To Let It Fly.
