ALESMITH BREWING COMPANY - MY BLOODY VALENTINE ALE Nice holdiday themed beer. It pours a nice crimson red and has a 6.66% ABV. Nicely done. Aroma is mostly pine and floral hops. Also has a little hint of chocolate. Taste follows the nose for the most part, hoppy with pine, orange, and grapefruit; nice malt balance, caramel and chocolate. Not real complex, but a nice red ale. Sweet and easy drinking, this is the first Alesmith i have tried and was fairly impressed. Wish they distributed in MN, sure glad i grabbed this last week while in Colorado.
Q-TIP - AMPLIFIED First solo album from Q-Tip after A Tribe Called Quest broke up. Loved ATCQ, but this wa a little dissapointing. A few really good songs (Vivrant Thing, Breath And Stop, Wait Up, and Do It Be It See It), but the rest is pretty average. Some good rhymes, but alot of songs sound the same. Still, love his voice, but would pick any of the first ATCQ albums before this one.
