Beer #15 - Magic Hat Vinyl Lager

Style: Lager
Purchased at: Kroger
What makes this beer different: Woodsy kind of taste.
Will I be drinking this again: Probably not.
Grade: D+


Comments:
I am usually a pretty big fan of Magic Hat brews, but I think they really dropped the ball on this one. It leaves a dirt/bark like lasting taste in my mouth and an overall dryness, which I hate. Has a nice hop smell, and the head on this beer is actually quite nice. Little to no lacing present. Give this one a try and let me know what you think; personally I would stick to #9 until the next seasonal is released! Shame on you Magic Hat.


Recommendations:
1) Finish this beer, 2) Have a nice Beck's waiting and ready to drink immediately following the last sip of Vinyl. That's all I got!

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 #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 #26 - Stone Levitation Ale

Style: American Amber/Red Ale Purchased at: Vintage Cellar What makes this beer different: Amarillo Hops Will I be drinking this again: Probably Not Grade: C Comments: I don't know exactly why, but I do not like this beer. It has a few perks (e.g. smell, lacing, etc.) but the aftertaste of this beer was enough to knock me out ... and not in a good way! Some will love this beer; others, like myself need to try another brew. Recommendations: Pawn this beer off on a friend. That simple.
