DESCHUTES BREWERY - JUBELALE  The start of my winter seasonal beers. Nice aroma of caramel and toffee with some toasted malts and some dark fruits. Very nice. Starts with a fruity rich malt flavor. Has a little spice to it as well. Nice balance of sweetness and has a nice hoppy finish. This is a rich flavorful winter ale. Very refreshing and easy to drink, great winter seasonal. Will be a staple in the future along with Sierra Nevada Celebration.

CAPITAL BREWERY - HOP CREAM  The aroma was pretty faint to me. Some floral hops and some faint vanilla notes. Flavor was kind of mediocre. Hints of citrus and sweet malts, but not as hoppy as i was expecting with the name Hop Cream. I wasnt real sure what to expect with the Cream Ale style, but it had a little flavor and was easy to drink, just was a bit underwhelming. Fun to try, but would probably not look for it again.

BIERRA PERONI INDUSTRIALE S.P.A. - PERONI NASTRO AZZURRO  Euro style lager from Italy. Has that typical Euro lager smell: skunky, but it fades quickly. Again tastes like every other Euro style lager in a green bottle. Crisp, clean and drinkable for the style, just not one of my favorite styles. Grabbed it as part of a mix 6 because i couldnt find anything else to fill it out. If you like this style it will do just fine.

LITTLE SISTER - LIVE: FREE LOVE & NICKEL BEER  This is their debut album, which is a collection of live songs recorded over a 3 day weekend at Club DaDa. They later changed their name to Sister 7. Very underrated and underappreciated rock band. Had 5 albums and has officially broke up, although they still get together and do a few live shows every now and then. One of my go tos.
