| Fireston Walker Propagator Citra This is a 5.8% NEIPA. It opens with aromas of right citrus, pineapple, tropical fruit, and sweet pale malts. Taste features notes of lemon,orange mango and pineapple over a base of doughy malt.. There's a mild bitterness near the finish that quickly disappears. Solid but nothing special in the category Overall Rating: Above Average+ |
Oskar Blues BA20 Vol. 4: Zuccotto This is an 12.5% ABV Imperial stout aged in brandy barrels with white and dark chocolate, raspberries and vanilla. Sorry, no kitchen sink. Mostly dark chocolate, but just enough acidity from the raspberry, complexity from the barrel, and sweetness/creaminess from the white chocolate to keep it interesting Finish is just short of being cloying. Well worth trying. Overall Rating: Good+ |
| Anheuser-Busch Natty Daddy How did this get on my desk? Maybe it's a prank but I'm reviewing it anyway. What can I say about Natty Daddy? It does it's job, and it does it well. It's a cheap gas-station beer with no pretentions. The price reflects the complexity. You can get a 25 fluid ounce can for less than $2. It's a lager that's sweet and thin, with corn as the dominate taste. There's a moderate alcohol burn throughout.. And that's it folks Overall Rating: Poor+ |
