Paradox Brewery Reviews

PorterPounder	3.3 Paradox Pilsner 3/28/24 - Albany, NY Airport - Hudson Valley Beer Union - 16 oz can. Sparkling, light golden, thin off-white head clings to the edge of the glass. Grainy aroma, touch of honey. Sweet flavor, hints of honey, some bready notes, a touch of nuttiness. Crisp mouthfeel. Thursday, March 28, 2024
PorterPounder	3.2 Paradox Beaver Bite IPA 3/27/24 - Albany, NY - Coulson Deli & Market - 19.2 oz can. Very slight haze to the golden-orange pour, not much of a head. Orange marmalade aroma, hint of candied orange, Malt-oriented IPA, some light caramelly notes, just a hint of citrus bitterness, some candied orange notes. Mouthfeel is thick enough.

jmgreenuk	3.3 Paradox Sonder Bräu 473ml can. Poured a very slightly hazy golden colour with a short-lived, fizzy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is toffee malt and yeast.

Monday, February 19, 2024
Slipstream	3.4 Paradox Pilsner Pretty darn good. Very easy, quaffable brew. Ît appears to emanate from a small brewery in the Adirondacks. Thursday, November 30, 2023
jmgreenuk	2.9 Paradox ParaHelles 440ml can. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light funky, herbal. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a crisp, malt, light toffee, herbal, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. Really doesn’t have a whole lot going for it. Tuesday, November 21, 2023
Bitterbill	2.9 Paradox Capt.Jack From Beer Drop, canning date is offline; I can't read the month. It pours a clear gold with a fine layer of foam, very good lacing. The smell is bread, some caramel malt, hints of fruit and hops. The taste is bread, grain, caramel malt, weird bitterness that does not strike me well. Good mouthfeel but this is not for me. Saturday, September 30, 2023
Martinsh	3.9 Paradox Sonder Bräu Can from local Home Bargains store – drank at home. Pours golden amber with a sizeable but transient white head. Aroma is sweet with oranges and hints of lemon. In the mouth it is briefly quite sweet before underlying soft bitterness takes over – has an almost buttery texture. Plenty of malt and grains in the flavour along with trces of corn, bread crusts and nuts. Finish is quite bitter and a bit sticky. This is rather nice and hides its strength well – very quaffable !

wheresthepath	3 Paradox ParaHelles Can from Home Bargains, Reading. Yellow-gold with a light haze and a thin white head. Light fizz, maybe a tad watery. The lemony aroma doesn't really continue into the taste - instead there's dust, butter and some Belgian yeast notes. A little toasted banana bread in the finish. The Belgian ale flavour gets stronger as you drink more. It's an interesting take on the helles style but I'd like less dust. It's ok overall. Monday, July 17, 2023
BeardedAvenger	3.4 Paradox Sonder Bräu Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma is spicy and malty. Slightly opaque gold. Thick foamy white head. Light bitter. Spice. Herbs. Slightly doughy edge. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Chewy. Sunday, July 16, 2023
Dorwart	3.5 Paradox Beaver Overbite About a 1 inch thick head of dense creamy bubbles that lingers for a while. Sickly sweet aroma with some decaying grass, oranges, dried wheat, sweet malts and some resinous hops. Color is a hazy golden orange. Malt forward with some bitter orange, dried tea leaves, burnt toast, toasted grains and pine resin. Moderate bitterness that lingers. Noticeable alcohol presence and warming. Finishes dry bitterness and toasted grains. Not a very refreshing IIPA so not great for a hot day but a tasty one. Sunday, June 25, 2023

ManVsBeer	2.9 Paradox Sonder Bräu Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Golden with an extremely light carbonation and a thin bubbly head. Aroma aside, there's blurred lines with this style as its bready-banana taste gives it more a wit or Belgian wheat style... so it's certainly not a typical Dortmunder brew, although there are elements of this to be found. Friday, January 20, 2023
Scopey	3.7 Paradox Sonder Bräu Can from Home Bargains. It pours lightly hazy golden - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is grain, grassy, damp hay, straw, old rope, touch cereal and biscuit.

Average body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Another rather nice lager from Paradox. Monday, January 16, 2023
