BOSTON BEER COMPANY - SAMUEL ADAMS VERLOREN  Sam Adams shot at a Gose style beer. Basically a German wheat beer with some spice. Smell is pretty basic, light maltiness with a hint of sourness and some lemon. Interesting taste; sweet malts, some spices, slight fruitiness and finishes with a faint saltiness. I am not too familier with the Gose style, but i really enjoyed this one. Very pleasing and drinkable, in fact i enjoyed it even more as it warmed. Very interesting and different beer, well woth trying.

SOUTHERN TIER BREWING COMPANY - KRAMPUS HELLES LAGER  Nice winter seasonal with a 9.0% ABV.  Aroma starts with some malty sweetness, light caramel and some floral hops and pine. Taste has roasted malt with plenty of hops; lemon, grapefruit, pine and honey. Very well balanced, hard to believe the ABV is 9.0%. Tasty, good take on a Christmas beer. Love the name and artwork, and for those that dont know, Krampus is St. Nicks evil side kick who hands out punishments to the bad kids. Another nice beer from Southern Tier.

LIZ PHAIR - EXILE IN GUYVILLE  Great classic debut album from Liz.  This is the special edition re-release with bonus songs and a dvd. Had to buy this as i originally had it on cassette and almost wore it out. Dont really care about the bonus tracks, nothing too exciting, but the original songs are great. Great album when it was released in 1993 and still great today. She is still putting out records but has never been able to match the brilliance of this one.
