    Name – Morimoto Imperial Pilsner
    Country – United States
    Type – Imperial Pilsner

    Appearance – Poured a murky straw yellow color with a nice sized white head.

    Smell – Big hop smell and a very slight notice of alcohol.

    Taste – Hoppy with some citrus notes like lemon and again a very slight hint of alcohol on the after taste.

    Rogue always seems to deliver quality beers and this is no different. It is in the Morimoto series of beers dedicated to Iron Chef Morimoto. While it is not the best thing I have had from them it is definitely a good one. I get to add this ceramic bottle to my collection but for the price ($14.99) I don’t know how often I would drink this

    Overall Grade – B

    Name – Blanche De Chambly
    Country – Canada
    Type – Witebier (White/Wheat)

    Appearance – After pouring this in approved manner that the bottle states the color was a cloudy straw yellow with a frothy white head.

    Smell – Beautiful mix of spices and citrus.  I could pick up lemon and orange peel.

    Taste – The taste is pretty much the same as the smell with the spices and citrus notes.

    My fellow beer blogger Danno has been recommending this one to me for quite some time and I finally remembered when I was at the store and saw it.  I really enjoyed this one and it is definitely one of the better white ales out there.   Just like most whites it would be perfect on a hot summer day, oddly it has been quite cold here in south Florida as of late but I didn’t let that stop me from enjoying it.

    Overall Grade – B+

    Ale to the Chief

    Name – Ale to the Chief
    Country – United States
    Type – American Double IPA

    Appearance – A darker copper color with a nice white head that laced the glass pretty good.

    Smell – Quite hoppy in the smell with hints of citrus and floral notes.

    Taste – Big hoppy taste with grapefruit notes and slight hints of orange peel.

    This is Avery’s 2009 Inauguration special beer and it is quite a nice beer.  Very hoppy for those hop heads out there with some nice citrus notes under that.  I drank this last night during Lost instead of on the actual Inauguration Day because I had other plans I had to attend to that evening.  I was worth the wait and is very good brew.

    Overall Grade – B+
