Oxytocin	3.4 BriBri Springs Horizon Pale Ale Friday, June 29, 2018
PowY	3.4 BriBri Springs Horizon Pale Ale From tap at Wilk Craft Beer, San José, Costa Rica, 6.5% ABV. Hazy, light amber color with a white head. The aroma is lightly malty with bread, toffee, toasted bread, grains and some spicy, floral, hoppy notes. Medium body with a light sweetness and a light bitterness. The flavor is medium malty with sweetish grains, toasted bread, toffee, some caramel and lightly hoppy - sweet orange, floral, some pine. Finishes with a light hoppy bitterness. Overall more on the malty side but with a good balance. Aroma: 7 Appearance: 4 Taste: 7 Palate: 4 Overall: 12 Monday, June 4, 2018
Ernest	2.7 BriBri Springs Big Choco Draft (at Kaya’s Place, Puerto Viejo). Head is mostly diminishing. Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is moderately to heavily malty (chocolate syrup, cocoa, roasted grain). Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, syrupy/watery texture, soft carbonation. Another overly sweet, fairly simple brew. Thursday, February 5, 2015

Ernest	3.1 BriBri Springs Caribe Sur Barley Wine Draft (at Kaya’s Place, Puerto Viejo). No head. Body is dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, cookie), lightly hoppy (grapefruit), with notes of alcohol and cinnamon/nutmeg. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, soft/flat carbonation, moderately to heavily alcoholic. Big and boozy and simple, but the drinkability is actually pretty good...well balanced for this sort of thing. Thursday, February 5, 2015
Ernest	2.7 BriBri Springs Horizon Pale Ale Draft (at Kaya’s Place, Puerto Viejo). Head is mostly diminishing. Body is light amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel, toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (apricot, grapefruit, resin). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Like many tropical microbrews, this brewery’s products are on the sweet side...fruity and sweet. Certainly better than the Florida factory’s dreck, though. Thursday, February 5, 2015
Lubiere	2.9 BriBri Springs Sun Down Brown Ale A clear brown ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with light floral hops, light berry notes. In mouth, a sweet burned caramel malt with faint notes of maple, watery. On tap at Craic Irish pub. Friday, August 1, 2014
lans1986	4 BriBri Springs Oso's Honey Brown Wednesday, January 29, 2014
PMgep	3.5 BriBri Springs Oso's Honey Brown Pretty nice although this is not really a brown ale. Made with Belgian yeast and honey kicking in at around 9 percent according to the brewer. Thursday, March 7, 2013
PMgep	2.5 BriBri Springs Big Choco Sourness was still there so it taste a bit weird for a porter. According to JT who brew I had and old batch and they are still doing a lot of changes to the recipe. Thursday, March 7, 2013
solidfunk	2.9 BriBri Springs Oso's Honey Brown Much better than the cacao beer. Strong aroma of honey. Pours murky light brown. Some malt as well. Taste is very sweet with some residual bitterness from the honey. On tap at Kaya’s. Wednesday, December 26, 2012
solidfunk	2.2 BriBri Springs Big Choco Had a lot of beers with chocolate, but not so many with the cacao fruit itself. This one’s a strange one. Not sure if it’s the bitter/sourness of raw cacao or that the beer is contaminated - probably a little of both. Pours a murky brown, no head but fizzy carbonation. Needs a little work. On tap at Kaya’s in Puerto Viejo. Wednesday, December 26, 2012
