STEVENS POINT BREWERY -  POINT NUDE BEACH SUMMER WHEAT Another find in the back of the fridge, i dont see a best buy date, so hoping its just fine. The smell is mostly a grainy wheat with a little citrus. Lots of citrus and wheat up front (lemon and citrus). Good malt and hop balance. Nice clean and refreshing beer. Guessing it would have even been better on a warm summer day, but didnt taste stale at all.  Might be the best i have tried from Stevens Point.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY INC. - WHEAT MONKEY ALE  Not much to the smell, mostly just wheat with some citrus hints.
Taste is similar to the aroma, mostly wheat malts, some yeast, and a little hop bitterness in the finish. Rather boring, just a middle of the road wheat ale.

THE TRAVELER BEER CO. - JACK-O TRAVELER SHANDY  Smells like cinnamon and spices, pumpkin pie and sweet malts. Even has some lemon hints. Nice flavor, mix of pumpkin spices, malts, and cinnamon. The lemon in the smell is barely noticeable in the taste but does add to the sweetness. I wasnt expecting much out of this (not sure why), but was pleasantly surprised. A quite decent take on the pumpkin style, well worth trying.

ATMOSPHERE - GOD LOVES UGLY  Great album from Minnesotas Atmosphere. I think this was their 3rd album. Classic. Great lyrics from Slug and great beats by Ant. Still cant believe these guys are not bigger on the national scene. One of their best. All 18 tracks are worth the listen.
