SPOETZL BREWERY - SHINER HOLIDAY CHEER Not sure i have ever had a beer with a smell like this one. Huge amount of sweet peaches with a strong malty backbone. Very pleasant aroma. The peaches dominate the flavor too. Also a little bit of wheat and hints of nuttiness (label says pecans). Very sweet, no bitterness at all to balance it out. A very surprising beer, i was not expecting much, but i really lked this one. Its a holiday beer, but i would think it would go down really well in th summer too. I would for sure drink this one again.
NEW GLARUS BREWING COMPANY - TWO WOMAN LAGER Aroma has some roasted caramel and toffee with a hint of fruitiness, but its pretty faint. Taste echoes the smell. Toasted grains and roasted caramel up front with some lingering citrus. Great balance. Smooth, light and refreshing, this is a very good German lager. New Glarus does it again, another solid beer in their line up, i think i have really liked every beer of theirs i have tried.
FLYING DOG BREWERY - SNAKE DOG IPA Smell is heavy on the grapefruit and some faint pine, not much else. Not as hoppy as i was expecting. Light caramel malt flavor with some grapefruit. A little on the bitter side. Taste is decent, but pretty middle of the road. It was enjoyable to drink, seems well balanced, but there just isnt anything notable about it. With so many IPAs out there, you really need something to stand out and this one just doesnt have it.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - BORN IN THE USA Classic album from Bruce. I remember hating this album when it came out, heard it everywhere and i think i was just burnt out on it. Today, i realize how good it was, although i still dont like thw title track, but the rest of the album is amazing.
