NEW BELGIUM BREWING - HOP KITCHEN FRESH HOP INDIA PALE ALE The smell is actually pretty faint, more floral than the usual citrus and pine in most IPAs, but overall its nice and on the hoppy side. Taste is not quite as hoppy as the aroma. A little citrus and pine still, but i seemed to notice the malt a little more. Overall, not a bad IPA, maybe a great introduction to someone new to the craft beer scene. Its easy to drink, but just kind of ho-hum, not one of New Belgiums best, but still drinkable.
DESCHUTES BREWERY - CHASIN' FRESHIES FRESH HOP IPA Strong fresh hop profile; pine, citus and grapefruit. Had a great aroma and smells fresh. Taste is like the aroma, a little light but still flavorful. For the amount of hops in the smell, there is not as much bitterness as i expected, but has a nice crisp taste. Nicely balanced, a nice quality brew from Deschutes. These "fresh" beers are sure fun to drink.
SAM KINISON - LEADER OF THE BANNED Not his best, but still fun to listen to. The comedy segments are decent, but too short. There are four rock songs at the end, i assume to try to match the success of Wild Thing on the previous record, but he should stick to comedy and quit trying to be a rock star. The songs are decent, but i would much prefer more comedy.
