Stillwater Artisanal Baltimore, Maryland

Pint can. Orange peel aroma with notes of wheat malt, salt, chili powder and msg seasoning. Pours clear orange colored with a thin white head that has little retention and lacing. Starts with tart orange peel, wheat malt and msg seasoning as well as having a lively mouthfeel. Finishes dry with salt and chili powder heat that lingers after each sip. Interesting and unique, but not really my cup of tea.

Bellwoods Brewery Toronto, Ontario

2020/04/06 - Pours a deep dark (nearly black) brown with a thin, light tan head that quickly dissipates and leaves no lacing. Aroma is rum, wood, toffee, ginger, spices, licorice and light coffee.

Victory Brewing Company (ABV) Downingtown, Pennsylvania

A 12 oz. can poured into a glass chalice produced a soapy, 1-finger, fast-fading white head over a mostly clear, straw-colored body. Some spotty lacing left quickly. Subtle, changing aromas of apples, pears, tart lemon and melon balanced by background notes of sweet malt and some Brett farmyard. Got a jolt of puckery sour apple, lemon rind and grass in the early sips, joined by some malty graininess and a sort of vinous quality late. Moderately crisp mouthfeel with a dry, lingering finish. Substantial ABV is pretty well-hidden until you try to start typing.

BlueTarp Brewing Company Decatur, Georgia

Pretty impressive for a local American Baltic. You get the typical toffee and toast with that kind of cooling cigarette butt aspect that Baltics have. Not sweet at all, which I prefer, though you can taste the high ABV. Solid one for sure.

Ardent Craft Ales Richmond, Virginia

16 ox can from the Brewery on Leigh Street The ale poured a cloudy gold color with a small off white head and lacing. The aroma of tropical fruit mostly pineapple. The ale has a medium body and soft carbonation. Nicely balanced ABV with malt and hop structure. This is juicy ale with pineapple and some hints of orange. The finish is clean with hints of pineapple.

Bell's Brewery Comstock, Michigan

Pours golden with a lot of carbonation. Full white head settles slowly. The aroma has grass and lemon, with lighter notes of bread, spice, and herbal hops. The taste is dry and mildly bitter. On top are flavors of grain, grass, and spice, while underneath are bread, corn, and herbal notes. I'm usually down when grain is prominent, although in this case it works pretty well. Soft spicy finish. Light in body. This one offers very easy drinking and no has discernible weaknesses. Solid.

Single Hill Brewing Company Yakima, Washington

32 oz crowler poured, and enjoyed during a day of working outside, and this seemed like a fitting beer for the occasion. Bright golden orange pour, thin foam head. I knew this was a fruited IPA going in, but did not know what fruit, and tried to guess. I failed. I can see it now, but it wasn't in my top few guesses, or any of them. A citrus and tropical combo on the nose. Flavor has a nice tea like front, a juicy fruit followup, and a low bitter hop finish, with more tea like notes lingering. This is refreshing for sure. Definitely an outside kind of beer. Very nice.

Hoof Hearted Brewing Marengo, Ohio
