Fat tire - IN A CAN!

I didn't believe it until I saw it, Fat Tire does come in a can.

It tasted like fat tire, only betterer (yes betterer). It's weird how some beers taste better in a can than a bottle.

Deschutes Hop Henge

Deschutes, Hop Henge experimental IPA

North Fork - Son of Frog Barleywine

North Fork - Son of Frog.

Mmmmmm Barleywine. Smells malty and sweet, little bit of hops. Taste is just about right, nice full body, smooth and kind of sweet. Still an american barleywine, but I'm liking how the hops are only there to remind you that you like hops.

Molson Canadian

This was a gift. Not gonna lie. It is clear as water with a typical lager golden hue. It was suprisingly lighter than an american lager such as pabst or icehouse but lacks the nice noble hop aroma typical of my more favorable lagers. The bubbly is similar to what is in Miller High Life. Way better than Bud though as far as body and mouthfeel. That stuff is the yuck to me. So to canada, this one is okay, you have my approval. Next time though I'll have a pint of dihydrogen oxide.

Pyramid Breweries: Thunderhead IPA

I consider Pyramid to be a macro brew. Being as such this isn't bad. I won't take a pic but I'll tell you about it. If you compare this to Redhook Longhammer this isn't as dry hopped but has a decent body. White head, brown golden body, medium mouthfeel, and a crisp hopiness. Not bad for a cheap IPA though Pyramid has a bunch of decent beers that are accepted by a wide variety of people.

Rogue: Yellow Snow IPA

Yellowish body, white head, and a decent mouthfeel. It has good drinkalotability and a very simple grain bill and hop list. Two row, cara foam (?) Melanoiden, with Amarillo hops. tastes pretty good to me. The amarillo hops tend to stick around and their flavor lingers for a nice aftertaste. I approve.

Elysian: Perseus Porter

I have a secret love affair with porters. This one is a little sweeter than I usually like and lacked the heavy black malt flavors that I am particulary fond of. It has won an award in 1999 and 2003 in the GABF and is overall a well balanced porter. It has a malty smell, light tan head, dark body, with just a tint of black malty goodness. Overall a decent beer but nothing really stood out to me. Take that as good, bad, or nuetral. Whatever you do, pour slowly, I had a few yeasty chucks floating around in my glass (and I do a careful pour).
