Drank 500 ml of R&D Golden Ale by New Glarus Brewing Company (2015-08-01)June 9th, 2016
2018-03-20
Likely past its prime. Tasted soapy. Extremely carbonated which would be fine if it tasted better. My previous notes said refreshing and sour. This isn't either. Totally my fault for letting it sit almost 3 years.

Very refreshing and drinkable. Very pale with lots of white head. After 10 months the Brett yeast is showing up with its unique brand of sour, although I haven't tasted a younger bottle for comparison. Reminds me of a saison in some ways. I'll let the other bottle sit for at least another few months.
Drank 12 oz of 90 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2016-03-01)June 8th, 2016
Drank 341 ml of Solstice d'été by Brasserie Dieu du Ciel (2015-05-08)June 7th, 2016

Very tart, no sweetness. A bit of sour but not much. Refreshing, not much different than a spritzer. Kind of defeats the purpose of drinking a beer, though.
Drank 12 oz of Guinness Extra Stout by Guinness Ltd. (2016-01-14)June 7th, 2016
Drank 22 oz of Lupine by Pipeworks Brewing CompanyJune 5th, 2016
2016-06-05
I didn't get pineapple this time but still a delightfully refreshing IPA. Not a palate wrecker like the Fish series.

Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple! Straw colored, sweet smell, juicy pineapple flavor. Glad I have two.
Drank 750 ml of Lolita by Goose Island Beer Co. (2013-06-17)June 4th, 2016
2016-06-04
Smells of tart raspberry with a harsh background. Flavor is strongly sour but quite pleasant and refreshing. Less raspberry but still fruity. Aftertaste basically ruins it for me, can't help but be reminded of nail polish remover. Really nice up until that point, though.
Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Cherry Stout by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016-05-08)June 3rd, 2016
2017-02-20
Really good. Definitely smoothed out after 9 months. The bourbon was more apparent than when fresh. Even got some chocolaty flavors in the background. Kind of a cherry cordial. Doesn't scratch a particular itch and that's a long time to wait for something that doesn't blow you away but it's not not worth it.
Drank 12 oz of Burton Baton by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2015-07-01)June 2nd, 2016
2018-08-14
Holds up well after 3 years. Maybe better around 1.5 to 2.

Kind of like a Belgian Strong Ale, candy sugar sweetness but with more malty depth. Some Dried fruit sweetness, as well. Carbonation is superb, incredibly delicate bubbles that give a velvety feel. It's probably not brewed to taste like this but by sheer coincidence is excellent as it ages.

I need to try this one fresh because I really like it with some age on it. Would be interesting (and expensive) to compare.
Drank 12 oz of Scotty Karate by Dark Horse Brewing Co. (2015)June 1st, 2016
Drank 22 oz of Funzino by Pipeworks Brewing CompanyMay 31st, 2016
2016-05-31
I've never regretted buying a Pipeworks IPA. This isn't among my favorite IPAs but it's still really delicious. All the Ninjas are going to be fresh, too.
2016-05-21
Dank and resinous. So bold and fresh, but not my favorite. Strong floral aromas not much citrus.

Drank 750 ml of Squall IPA by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2016-02-24)May 25th, 2016

So balanced. Reminds me a lot of Avery's Maharaja, though not quite as much of a hop bomb. Very balanced, not particularly bitter. Lost of dregs in the last pour of the 750.
