Beer #27 - Stone/BrewDog Bashah

Style: American Strong Ale
Purchased at: Once Upon A Vine
What makes this beer different: Nice Dark IPA
Will I be drinking this again: Most Definitely
Grade: A-


Comments:
This is an excellent beer! One of the best I have ever had. To me it seems like 65% strong IPA mixed with 35% Porter; a masterful combination in my book. Pours a deep dark brown with a hefty head on the brew and some lacing.


Recommendations:
Try this baby out in a tulip glass ... it is definitely a sipper beer, so enjoy each and every last sip with a baguette and a little asiago cheese!

Beer #42 - Sapporo Premium Beer

Style: Japanese Rice Lager Purchased at: Sakura Japanese Steakhouse & World Market What makes this beer different: Japanese Will I be drinking this again: Yup Grade: C+ Comments: This brew is a carbonated, frothy, medium bodied lager with a dry finish and possesses hints of bitter hops  Beer pours egg yolk yellow with a creamy white head; sweet malts and soft grains lie in the undertones of this subtle smelling lager. Unfortunately nothing really sets this beer apart from the crowd, other than it being a Japanese Lager. Don't get me wrong, it is very good and quite drinkable! It just isn't a game changer for me, which is why my score isn't higher. Go out and give this one a try, it is definitely worth it ... ESPECIALLY for my light beer lovers out there! Recommendations: Pair with Shrimp Tempura and Edamame Soy Beans is perfect!

Beer #43 - Lagunitas Brown Shugga' Ale

Style: American Strong Ale Purchased at: - What makes this beer different: Overwhelming spices Will I be drinking this again: No Grade: F Comments: Kind of disappointed with this beer as I had high expectations.   Too many different tastes going on inside this bottle. I would have to disagree with the choice of finishing hop used in this beer - best described as a hard pine taste. I'm going to go ahead and give it a NO GO recommendation. What does that mean? Some beers just aren't my style or taste of beer but this brew is just a BAD mixture and I cannot recommend it to anyone regardless of taste. Recommendations: 1) Don't drink this beer.

Beer #41 - Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA

Style: 90 Minute IPA Purchased at: Blue Nile Ethiopian Cuisine What makes this beer different: The Crispness Will I be drinking this again: Definitely Grade: A Comments: Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a chilled pilsner. Appearance: Not a huge head, and what WAS there disappeared quickly. The body has a  clear amber like hue and possesses excellent carbonation activity. Smell: Brew is definitely finished off with Amarillo Hops (my favorite) as it models a citrusy hop character. Smells are warm and inviting. Taste: This is where the 90 Minute IPA ROCKS! Grapefruit like taste definitely would fits the description. At 9% ABV you will be surprised. It doesn't taste heavy, and you hardly can tell the alcohol is there! I am going to drink this beer all of the time this coming summer :) Mouthfeel: This beer is light and fluffy. A definite surprise. The carbonation is quite nice on the palate as well. Drinkability is alarmingly wonderful, just be careful! Overall: A fantastic be...
