Dogfish Head Indian Brown Beer Review

The Indian Brown from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is a 7.2% ABV and 50 IBU cross of Brown and IPA Ales. Dark, malty and smooth this beer brought a nice roastiness along with it to balance against the hoppiness of it being an IPA. There was a nice feel of a coffee tone backed nicely with a good mouthfeel as well as mouthcoating experience. It was definitely a nice one to check out that for me rated 4 out of 5.

Another Saturday Another Beer Run With Glasses This Time

Time to pick up a few beers for drinking and sharing and here is a look at the haul from this trip which not only brought me some more beers, but it also brought me some beer glasses as well.

Boston Beer Samuel Adams New England IPA Beer Review

Finally decided to take a look at the Samuel Adams New England IPA from Boston Beer Company, and I have to say that I was quite surprised and pleased by it as it was better than I thought it would be. At 6.8% ABV and 35 IBU, I thought the beer did well with bringing in the citrus, fruity and tropical tones expected of this style. It also did well on being somewhat juicy and having a bit of a resiny as well as hoppy quality. Now this being said, it is not at the level at some of the smaller craft breweries but among some of the bigger ones, it is pretty damn good. This one for me was 4 out of 5 and easily one that I could drink again. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more on this one.

Fifty West Coast To Coast IPA Beer Review

Coast to Coast IPA from Fifty West Brewing Company located in Cincinnati is an American IPA that at 6.8% ABV and 60 IBU named after what has been called the Loneliest Road in America…Route 50 that goes coast to coast. As you can probably guess, the brewery sits on this highway in a location that once was a speakeasy here in the city. However, as to the beer, it was a nice hoppy, citrusy, fruity, tropical and slightly resinous IPA. Overall, I also found it to be a smooth IPA and for me, it is 3.75 out of 5 on this one. Check out the video if you would like to hear and see more on this one.

Market Garden Frosty Lime Wit W/ Tangerine Beer Review

Frosty from Market Garden Brewery out of Cleveland is a lime Witbier with tangerine that for me brought a decent refreshing quality with this light in body beer. There was some tartness from the tangerine, although the lime definitely stood out more. Overall, it was a nice smooth citrusy beer, 3.25 out of 5 for me on this one. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more on this one.

Ballast Point Manta Ray Beer Review

Manta Ray from Ballast Point is an 8.5% ABV 70 IBU Imperial IPA that does a good job of hitting on the qualities of the style. I found it to have a nice tone of citrus well balanced against the malts, which provided a nice overall smoothness despite their also being some moments of the hoppy bitterness coming through. This beer just works, 4.25 out of 5 for me. Check out the video if you would like to see or hear more on this one.
