December 7, 2013- part 2

Wound up trying a few extras tonight:

BRAUEREI BECK & CO. - BECKS DARK  The smell is light and very similar to a regular Becks; dark malt, caramel, and that typical skunky Euro smell. Tastes the same. Average brew, nothing that i will look for again.

SUMMIT BREWING CO. - FINNEGANS IRISH AMBER Aroma is kind of weak, caramel malts with some grassy hops. Taste is malty with some caramel sweetness with a slight hop bitterness. Tastes a little better than it smells. Light and easy to drink, just nothing special, could pound a bunch of these pretty easily though. Overall, just average, but could do worse.

NEW GLARUS BREWING CO. - BLACK TOP  Piney hops dominate the aroma with some chocolate and citrus hints.  Taste has some citrus, pine, chocolate and a bit of roasted malts. Malts are pretty understated compared to the hops though. A nice black IPA with great balance and is very drinkable. Another real solid beer from New Glarus. (Just dont like that they are not ditributed in MN, so a WI road trip has to happen every now and then)
