INDEED BREWING COMPANY - Rum King.  Imperial stout brewed with cane sugar aged in rum barrels. I know it's not really the time of year for imperial stout drinking, but wow, this was really good. Might be my favorite of the 2015 season.  And that says alot. Just plain delicious. Glad I have a few more bottles aging in the cellar.

INDEED BREWING COMPANY - LSD 2015 From what I can remember, they toned the lavender down a little bit this year making it a much more enjoyable drink for me as the lavender was so dominant in years pasr. Best version of this one so far.

INDEED BREWING COMPANY - Double Day Tripper      Decent American pale ale. Nice mix of citrus hops and pine, another solid effort from Indeed.

#983

INDEED BREWING COMPANY - Mexican Honey Imperial Lager       Found a handful of Indeed beers I didn't know I had. Nice lager, honey is fairly faint, but gives it a touch of sweetness. Nice refreshing summer beer.

ABITA BREWING CO. - Bourbon Street Baltic Porter     Nice aroma of bourbon and brown sugar with some vanilla hints. The base porter is a little on the thin side, but other than that, another nice beer from Abita. Well worth trying.

#981

ALMANAC BEER CO. - Farmer's Reserve Blueberry     Really nice blueberry aroma. A little on the sour side, but a nice solid offering. I wish Almanac distributed in Minnesota as I would love to try some of their other beers. I think I picked this up in Denver, so will have to keep a lookout next time I am there.

NEW HOLLAND BREWING COMPANY  Monkey King Saison Farmhouse Ale

#972

EVIL TWIN BREWING - Bikini Beer      Wow, 2.7% ABV on a IPA. That's like an IPA Lite and it actually has a pretty decent flavor provide for what it is. A guy could pound these all day long. Unfortunately they are a little on the spendy side for what it is.

ODELL BREWING COMPANY - Trellis Garden Ale       Nice American Pale Ale from Odell. Different and interesting, kind of a herbal flavor with some bitterness in the finish. Not you typical American Pale ale, but well wrth the try.

#955

ODELL BREWING COMPANY and BOULEVARD BREWING CO. - Silver Anniversary Ale     Nice collaboration beer from Odell and Boulevard who are both celebrating 25 years or brewing. Not my favorite from Odell. Not great, but very good. Was expecting more, but nothing really stood out. (I will blame that on Boulevard as I have not been real impressed by most of their beers while I have usually been very happy with Odell).
