Getting My Beer On 450 North OJ Nuggets Beer Review

Another brew from 450 North Brewing and this time it was the OJ Nuggets and thanks again to my friend Todd for hooking me up with this one as well. So funny drinking these and saying that it is beer but I do enjoy the style, and this one came in nicely as a smooth and flavorful version. Obviously, being OJ citrus is expected and it did not disappoint as the citrus notes came through nicely in both the aroma and flavor. There were a solid juiciness and hoppiness to the brew, along with a nice resinous quality on the back end. A little bit of astringency and dryness in the finish, this again could be expected. However, in the end, a solid tasting brew left a great mouthfeel that just encouraged the drinking of more. This could easily be a nice beer for chugging, although I would rather just take my time an enjoy it. This is a good beer indeed worth trying for any fan of this style.

Getting My Beer On With A Sun King SKB IPA And A Cigar

Saturday afternoon and I decided to stop at one of our local bar restaurants, Buffalo Bobs, and grab an SKB IPA from Sun King Brewing and enjoy it with a nice cigar as we had a break in the weather. Moreover, a nice beer this one proved to be as well, coming in at 6.5% ABV and even 70 IBU this beer offered a nice smoothness. There was a good crisp clean feel to the beer with some excellent clarity and bubble action. A good feel of the citrus hops came out in both the aroma and flavor and overall provided a decent feel. This beer is definitely one that I would recommend for any IPA fan. Check out my video to see and hear more on this one.

Getting My Beer On With 450 North Tropic Nuggets

Finally, I was able to get one of the Nuggets Series beers from 450 North Brewing and this NE Style DIPA did not disappoint for me. The beer itself provided a nice mouthfeel that was full of flavor, as well as a nice feel from the Double Dry Hopped process that brought in great aroma and flavor from the hops used. It had a nice juiciness and for me, I felt that it offered some nice tropical as well as citrusy flavor notes of pineapple, mango, orange, and grapefruit at the least. The finish is dry, but that can also be expected, and that dryness just made me want to drink more. At 8.5% ABV and 45 IBU, this beer plays out smooth without any booziness. A solid offering for my initiation to the brewery and one that I will say is worth trying for any fan of this style. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts.

Lagunitas Dark Swan Sour Ale Beer Review

So a while back, a while while back, I never got around to uploading my look at the Lagunitas Dark Swan Sour Ale when I took time to taste this little 8.5% ABV treat. It is part of their One Hitter Series and is a Sour Ale fermented with red wine grapes, which for me definitely sounded interesting at the time. A quick rundown on this ale is that for me it was an okay attempt at a sour ale using the grapes as they did come across well in the taste and aroma. The beer had a good and not overwhelming amount of tartness, and I did pick up some subtle and fruity qualities of the beer. There was a light bit of astringency, and a nice bot of mouthcoating as the beer settled well into the cheek area. Overall, it was less than I was expecting with this one but as a sour ale, it met its goal. Check out the video to hear and see more on this one.
