STONE BREWING CO.  - Lucky Bastard 2014      This beer is a blend of Arrogant Bastard, Oaked Arrogant Bastard, and Double Bastard. The pine and citrus pretty much dominate the aroma. Same in the flavor, there is a slight malt presence. I dont notice any of the oak, it might be there, but the hops seem to kill anything else. Very drinkable, like most Stone beers. It was nice to try, but there are many other Stone beers I would have before this one again.

#747

BALLAST POINT BREWING COMPANY - Piper Down Scottish Ale     Pretty standard Scottish ale aroma; lots of caramel and some brown sugar sweetness. Tastes the same. Caramel and sugar up front and finishes with a little booziness.  I think its decent for the style,  just not a style I look to to drink often.

#746

NEW GLARUS BREWING COMPANY - Fat Squirrel Ale      This is a brown ale.
Not much to the aroma at all, just some roastiness. Taste has some light roasted malts up front and has a nice clean finish. Flavor is pretty subdued. Nice brown ale, but nothing special.  Not my favorite from New Glarus.

#745

ROGUE ALES - Monk Seal Ale     This beer from Rogue was a custom brew in honor of the Waikiki Aquarium's 110th anniversary.  Part of the sales proceeds goes to it to help save and preserve the Monk Seal that is near extinction.  The aroma has a strong malt presence with a little caramel and some honey hints. Tastes the same, lits of malt  with a nice balance of hops. Nothing exceptional,  but a great cause at least.

#744

ABITA BREWING CO. - Strawgator      Combination of their Andygator and Strawberry Harvest Lager beers. Huge strawberry aroma, I dont notice much else. Taste is pretty similar to the aroma. I have bought their Andygator and Strawberry Harvest beers before, and they are two of th best Abita offers. I would put this right up there with them. Although, from memory, this seems real close to the Strawberry Harvest to me, just with a higher ABV. If you like fruit beers, you will probably really enjoy this one. Very nice, and at $4.49 per bomber, a great deal.

#743

FARGO BREWING COMPANY - Sod Buster Porter    I had a couple different beers at the Fargo Brewing Company anniversary party a few months ago, but forgot to take notes on what I tried, so this is my first official beer from them I guess. Roasted malt aroma with a touch of chocolate. Also seems to have a little smokiness? Tastes the same. Decent take on a porter, but has nothing to make it stand out. A solid mid tier porter, nothing exceptional to get real excited about.

#742

DARK HORSE BREWING COMPANY - Thirsty Trout Porter       Aroma of chocolate,  coffee and roasted malts. Pretty much exactly what a porter should be. Tastes the same, nice and smooth. Maybe a touch on the thin side. Nice, nothing exceptional,  just a good solid porter. Would I have it again? Sure.

#741

TWO BROTHERS BREWING COMPANY - Monarch White Beer.      A nice Wit style beer. Not the best out there, but not too shabby. Light, fresh and clean. Bit of sweetness and a little spiciness.  Nice, think of a beefed up Blue Moon.

#740

AVERY BREWING COMPANY - The Kaiser Imperial Oktoberfest Lager 2014      Great Marzen style Octoberfest lager. Really enjoyed this one, nicely balanced, hides the 9.5% ABV well. This years version seems a little on the sweet side though.

#739

DOGFISH HEAD BREWERY - Red & White  Label states it is brewed with coriander and orange peel and fermented with pinot noir juice. ABV of 10%. Aroma is just what you would expect, coriander and pinot noir. First taste is strong pinot noir then you get a little fruit and finishes with a little spiciness. Well balanced, alcohol is well hidden. Really interesting.  Dogfish Head isnt afraid to do a little experimentation, thats for sure.

#738

NEW GLARUS BREWING COMPANY - Home Town Blonde     This is a German Pilsner. Excellent.  Wheat with a little spice and maybe a little orange. Tastes the same.  Great balance, New Glarus definitely knows what their doing, another great offering.

#737

STONE BREWING CO.  - Enjoy By 12-26-24 IPA     Perfect. Love the Enjoy By series, exactly what an IPA should be.

#736

BELLS BREWERY INC.  - Consecrator Doppelbock Beer      Really nice representation of the style. As roma is all malts, mostly caramel. Taste follows the nose, sweet malts, hint of dark fruits and a little chocolate with some breadiness.  Well done. Could drink these any time.

#735

CORONADO BREWING COMPANY - Black Sails Black India Pale Ale.    Really nice aroma of grapefruit and some roastiness with just a hint of pine. Smooth, light and has a creamy feel to it.  Drinks nice and easy. Really nice balance in the flavor between the hops and malts, has a slightly bitter finish. I really enjoyed this one, wish Coronado distributed in Minnesota.
