Southbound Brewing Company Savannah, Georgia

Secret Stash Bash 2019! Pours a deep brownish black on tap with tiny bubbly of tan brown head that dissipate slowly to leave moderate lace. Aroma of huge vanilla bourbon barrel oak notes, dark chocolate, deep roast, and a nice earthy finish. Taste follows, the chocolate and vanilla oak galore, a touch of booze, and an earthy bitterness on the finish. Well done, imperial barrel aged stout that is not over the top.

Strong lavender, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet lavender, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body and balance. Extremely well done - great lavender aroma and flavor.

Scofflaw Brewing Company Atlanta, Georgia

Secret Stash Bash 2019! Pours an opaque black on tap with thin ring of tan brown head that dissipates to leave light lace, but viscously slips down the glass. Aroma of huge vanilla and chocolate notes, a light roast coffee behind, and huge bourbon oak notes to finish. Taste follows, like liquid brownie batter with a touch of coffee thrown in. Thick and viscous, booze is fairly well hidden, nicely done.

Peak to Peak Tap and Brew Aurora, Colorado

Firestone Walker Brewing (Duvel-Moortgat) Paso Robles, California

Probably one of the most incredible hazy IPA's I've found in a can. Just smelled like apricots and peaches throughout the entire glass. Tasted so juicy and citrusy. This is my favorite IPA in a can.

Big Alice Brewing Long Island City, New York

Tap at brewpub. Clear golden colour, tiny white head. Pils malts, grain, herbal hops in the nose. Light-bodied. Crisp, clean flavour. Grassy, herbal hops. Nice pils.

Revision Brewing Company Sparks, Nevada

Secret Stash Bash 2019! Pours a turbid golden yellow on tap with fluffy off-white head that dissipates slowly to leave moderate lace. Aroma of huge new school hop notes, zesty earth and fruit galore, with a touch of sweetness and raw wheat underneath. Taste follows, huge resinous hop notes with a oat and wheat base, a touch of minerality. Soft mouth, low bitterness, nice new school IPA.

Harpoon Brewery Boston, Massachusetts

12 bottle from ipa mix pack thing. Dry desert citrus, easy flowing grassy hop aroma. Alright.

Flying Monkeys Barrie, Ontario

473 ml can from the LCBO. Pours a murky golden colour with tons of chunks - pretty nasty looking. Aroma is big on peach with some dank, floral character. Flavour has a lot of canned peach, citrus, flowers and dankness. Some booziness. Disappointing.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Chico, California

375 c&c from Cap Tap. Pours clear copper with a transient white head. Mildly tart, fruity aroma. Med body or nearly. Flavor is something like dry sherry - the barrel wood is quite present. Dry. Woody. Slightly tart. A bit astringent. Perhaps it could be considered lightly bitter. An elegant ale for a simpler time.

Anchorage Brewing Company Anchorage, Alaska

From a 750 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy greenish gold with a big white head. Aroma of brett and lemon. Flavors are faintly funky tropical fruit. Refreshingly effervescent.
