BLUE MOON BREWING COMPANY - "PINE IN THE NECK For those that dont know, Blue Moon products are made by Coors. This is classified as a double IPA with a 7.5% ABV. Aroma has a lot of pine and juniper berries. Not bad actually. The juniper is more hidden in the flavor, but lots of pine, spruce and a little grapefruit. Goes down smooth and is easy drinking, pretty nice overall. Not sure why it is classified as a double IPA though, does not seem to be that at all. Still, a nice drinkable beer from Blue Moon. Although they get mocked for being a craft beer beings its made by Coors, i really dont care. A good beer is a good beer, no matter who brews it. For those that are critical just because Coors brews it, i bet a lot wouldnt have a clue in a blind taste test. Nothing exceptional, but a solid beer, only downside is its a little on the expensive side.
LAGUNITAS BREWING COMPANY - BROWN SHUGGA' ALE Had a couple of these in the fridge. Tried the Blue Moon first and during the 2nd one of these, i was feeling it a little and then realized these are a nice 9.9% ABV. Aroma is actually pretty faint. Floral, citrus and pine hops. Smells sweet and i get a little caramel and some brown sugar. Taste starts with the sugary sweet caramel malts and has a little hop bitterness. More malt in the flavor than hops to me. Sweet, but well balanced. Not bad, be prepared, it will hit you quick.
MEG & DIA - SOMETHING REAL The Dia is Dia Frampton from season one of the Voice and Meg is her sister. At the time Dia was on the Voice, guessing not many people knew she had already put out a handful of albums aleady. This release was from 2006. Great vocals, great harmonies and surprisingly they rock more than i expected when i originally bought it. Monster and Nineteen Stars are amazing. Good stuff.
