Twin Sails Brewing Port Moody, British Columbia

pretty tasty IPA, more hop aroma and taste than vanilla (and lactose?). Have to watch this brewery going forward, thanks for a couple samples Brian.

Wild Wolf Brewing Company Nellysford, Virginia

bright red color; slightly tart raspberry aroma; slightly tart raspberry flavor with spicy Belgian yeast notes

MadTree Brewing Company Cincinnati, Ohio

Canned on 09/15/17 - nose orange peel. Sip adds straight up vanilla bean and orange Fanta. Weird. Lemon zest finish.

Shared Brewing Maplewood, Missouri

16 oz. can from the brewery. Pours a cloudy gold - not super hazy - with a moderate white head that settles into an uneven ring and island of film. Notes of pineapple, melon, sweet malts, peach, apricot, citrus, florals, a little bit of pine, and resin. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a fruity, sweet, bitter, slightly resinous mouthfeel. Nice balance. Well rounded. Not just haze and sweetness, not too doughy. Has an actual IPA character and bitterness.

Brasserie Dunham Dunham, Quebec

Not as interesting or drinkable as the first version. Yes some milk and raspberry flavour. Medium mouthfeel. Hops in aftertaste.

Fieldwork Brewing Company Berkeley, California

Can from Berkeley brewery. Pours hazy yellow orange, white head. Aroma is huge strawberry, pineapple, apricot, candied sugars, cotton candy. Flavor is strawberry shortcake, pineapple, sweet jammy fruits, bitter lasting resin. Medium bodied, super funky fruity Enigma heavy DIPA

Ahnapee Brewery Algoma, Wisconsin

Black pour with some reddish edges and a tan head. The aroma has strong milk chocolate with just a touch of coffee. It has a full body with kind of chewy texture with lively carbonation. The taste is mild sweet initially but quickly turns roasted and finishes dry.

Matchless Brewing Tumwater, Washington

Light hazy golden with a frothy white head. Lemon, peppery, earth, yeast, spicy. Medium bodied. Sharp bite at the finish. Well done.

Ballast Point Brewing Company (Constellation) San Diego, California

Red/orange pour, cloudy, thin dense white layer of khaki head. Aroma has creamy quality, sweet vanilla, doughy. Smells like cake. Creamy mouthfeel due to nitro, very soft carbonation, dry finish. Flavor has harsh sugar, syrupy cocoa, bitter forward. Otherwise the taste closely matches the aroma. Harsh, not a great stout but kudos to the red velvet cake resemblance.

Brouwerij Rodenbach (Palm) Roeselare, Belgium

Pours clear reddish-amber with a thick beige head. Tart cherries, dark malt, balsamic, wood, yeast. Moderate carbonation, light bodied. Sweet and sour finish. Tasty and very refreshing.

Uinta Brewing Company Salt Lake City, Utah

Can best by 11/14/17 - nose is grassy feed grain. Sip adds toast and light citrus. Well rounded.

Red Leg Brewing Colorado Springs, Colorado

Can. A- Toffee, caramel, chocolate. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, light brown head. T- Malty, burnt sugar, cocoa, dry. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish. O- As far as Brown Ales go, this smells great but lacks a bit in flavor. Seems to get duller as it warms. Not bad though.

Revolution Brewing Company Chicago, Illinois

22 oz bottle from the brewery; barleywine aged in bourbon barrells; deep reddish brown color; great, sweet caramel malt aroma with some bourbon notes; smooth, slightly sweet caramel malt flavor; nice oaky, bourbon notes - not at all overwhelming - you can certainly taste the bourbon, but the caramel malt flavor is front and center; a bit dry with some dark fruit notes

Deschutes Brewery Bend, Oregon

12 oz bottle pours golden with a white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast and some citrus. Taste is sweet, grains and grass
