Patio Problems

Riverlands Brewing Company

American Lager

8.4 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-03-04. Date on can of 2021-02-17. Pours clear with a huge white foam brought on by a vigorous pour. Fleeting head. Aroma is definitely on the hop end. Big citrus: orange, grapefruit, lime, with pine. Lager yeast is way in the background. Hints of caramel. Taste is a mix of caramel and bread with orange, lime and huge late pine. The pine lingers and befriend the yeast in the finish. Creating a dry bitterness that builds and lingers without takin...read more

9.0 by scot

Poured from a can purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-03-04. Date on can of 2020-03-02. Pours cloudy with a huge white foam that covers. Great retention with sticky lacing. Aroma is bountiful: grapefruit, pine, mango, and orange. Hints of passion fruit and white grape. Taste isn't as plentiful as the aroma. More pine with mango and traces of orange, grapefruit. White grape comes in late and lingers with minimal alcohol burn, including some green hop bitterness. Medium body, possib...read more

DDH F-STOP

Phase Three Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

7.1 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe. Date on can of 2021-02-08. Going to start this off by saying this is just over a month old which really changes a NEIPA. We shall see. Pours cloudy with a nice white, creamy foam. Good retention. Lacing coats all the way. Aroma has sweet bread crust with hints of biscuit. Hops is subdued, especially to let that mealtimes shine. Catty, dank and cannabis. Not much fruit. Taste follows the nose. There is a sweet, biscuity sweetness that lingers. Medium b...read more

DDH Arguing Semantics

Cerebral Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

7.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe. No date on can. I hope it is fresh. Pours cloudy with a finger of white foam. Meanders back to level but minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet and ripe tropical fruits. Sweet. Peach. Taste is sweet peaches. The sweetness really steps up though. Medium body with huge carbonation. Dry finish that burns the throat, lingering. Combination of the ABV, carbonation, and bitterness. The burn/bitterness from this beer is bit much for me. The hop profile is peach...read more

Pub Culture

Hopewell Brewing Company

English Porter

8.1 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. No date on can. Assuming it was purchased fresh. Pours clear but opaque with a half-glass of tan, frothy foam. Great retention but only sporadic lacing. Aroma of chocolate, dark caramel; leaning towards toffee. Nutty with only hints of roast. Taste isn't as adventurous as the nose. Chocolate is there but subdued more toffee, nutty, and hinted roast. Finish fights off ashiness. Light end of medium body but that is helped by a huge carbona...read more

8.2 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pours cloudy with a finger of white foam. Thick, sheeting lacing begins as the foam meanders back to liquid level. Aroma is ripe tropical fruit and peaches. Herbal, green and resin on the backend. Sweet. Taste is very sweet that lingers. The hops are mango, peach, and herbal, once again late, similar to the aroma. There is an alcohol warmth in the finish that lingers as well. Butterscotch? Light end of big bod...read more

Saison de Lis

Perennial Artisan Ales

Saison

8.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. Date on can of 2021-05-31 for a best by date. Please, please don't put that type of date on it. Put the date it was canned and let me make up my mind when I think it is still good. Pours cloudy for a Saison but may just be a chill haze. An inch of pure white foam that covers. Large, softly packed bubbles go away quickly. Frothy as it recedes, leaving sporadic lacing. Aroma is herbal, spice, and floral. Light malty aroma that is simple wit...read more

Hazy Dream State

Brothership Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

8.0 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pour is about a beautiful as a NEIPA can get in the glass. Cloudy with a finger-and-a-half of white foam. Frothy thick and almost creamy. Great staying power leaving a thick, sticky lacing behind. Aroma is dank, mango, and pineapple. The dank, resinous mango is definitely big but not huge or intrusive. Taste is a bit strange in the middle. The carbonation and strong orange marmalade attack, creating a difficult ...read more

Bananagram

Hop Butcher For The World

American Imperial Stout

5.1 by scot

Poured from a can shared at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-18. Date on can of 2021-02-17. Pours opaque with a half finger of tan foam. The aroma and taste are full of banana. If you don't love banana, you might have a tough time here. There is a roast, ash, and banana flavor that lingers in the finish, making it hard to stomach. Fortunately my main man at Flight shared a can with me prior to me purchasing a can. I appreciate him saving me five bucks....read more

Poured from a can purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-04. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pours cloudy with deep gold color, highlighted orange. Dirty white foam covers but jogs away at a fair pace. Sporadic lacing. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits. Mango and pineapple that are falling to the ground with ripe sugars. Resin, greens, and orange add complexity but are more like garnish to the strong tropics. Taste is a bit more subdued than the aroma. The ripe tropical fruit is still at th...read more

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-28. Date on can of 2021-01-26. Pours cloudy with a huge, white head. Good retention with sticky lacing abounding. Aroma of grapefruit and pine. Those scents compete with each other, dominating the sense. Taste is sweet, grapefruit, and pine. The finish has hints of lemon and floral. Smooth finish without bitterness. The lemon and sweet stick to the palate. Light body and spritzy, lemony carbonation. This is an easy drinking beer that might ...read more
