I’ve been very busy with things in getting ready to move into my house this Saturday. I pretty much go from work to the house and have been staining furniture. I haven’t had time to get to the store to pick up any beer to review but I hope to get some tonight for the next few days. Then once I’m moved it I will have some time as well. In the meantime why don’t you go checkout some of my fellow beer blogging buddies at these fine sites.
Until next time cheers!
Name – Stone IPA
Country – United States
Type – American IPA
Appearance – Poured an orangish yellow color with a pretty decent white head that left some lacing on the glass.
Smell – The aroma was that of grapefruit hops and some slight pine notes in there.
Taste – Big grapefruit hop taste up front that follows up with some floral tastes and a nice bitter finish.
Really good overall IPA that is right up there with some of the best ones. Stone just seemingly makes great beer after great beer.
Overall Grade – A
Name – Weltenburger Kloster Asam-Bock
Country – Germany
Type – Doppelbock
Appearance – Pours a pretty much dark brown in color with burgundy accents around the sides of the glass. Big foamy, tan head.
Smell – Smells of bread and nuts with a hint of cherry.
Taste – Big roasted flavor with a sweet toffee taste in there. Some hints of cherry in the taste as well.
After having the Mendocino bock a little bit ago I figured I would go for a big doppelbock from Germany and that’s exactly what I got with this. Great balance throughout make for a really good beer.
Overall Grade – A-
