LAKEFRONT BREWERY INC. - CREAM CITY PALE ALE  The aroma has some floral notes with some grass, and orange hints too. Taste is more citrus and piney hops flavors.  Decent pale ale, nothing special, but something easily drinkable.

BOULDER BEER CO. - KINDA BLUE BLUEBERRY WHEAT BEER  Found this one buried in the back of the fridge, 2 months past best by date. Nose is kind of weak, some faint blueberry, wheats and malts.  Taste is very similar to the nose, just dont notice much for the blueberries, they are very understated which leads it to not being a sweet as i expected.  Kind of average, just not much there for me. Didnt taste old at all, so dont think it being old had any effect in it. Still have yet to find a decent blueberry beer.

AYINGER BREWERY - AYINGER CELEBRATOR DOPPELBOCK  A German import, not sure where i picked this one up or when, but sure wish i had bought more. Smell has a lot going on. Rich sweet malts, molasses, caramel, chocolate, and some fruits. Tastes just as good as it smells and pretty much follows the nose. Dark and very malty. Smooth and not too sweet. This is just amazing, reminds me of visiting Germany and all the unbelievable beers i was able to sample while there. I need to get back someday. In the meantime, i need to find some more of these.

JIMMY BUFFETT - ENCORES  This album was from 2010 and features 22 songs that were featured as the final songs or encores of concerts on the 2008-2009 "Year Of Still Here" tour. About half of them are Jimmy solo and the rest feature the band and some special guests. If you love Jimmy, this is a great album, lots of good stories and great songs. Lots of songs that are a little on the rare side, a few covers, and some Buffett classics. Its nice to hear the songs mostly stripped down and let the story and his voice take over. A must have for any Parrothead.
