Extremely smooth, and an excellent mouthfeel, slick and buttery. A decent IPA.

Double Take Belgian White

Nothing really all that great.  There is a mild amount of spice bitterness with each sip, but not enough to overcome the flavors feeling bland.

Brooklyn Brewery Local 2 Belgian Ale

Very mellow and good representation of the style.  It's well-crafted with a bit of depth and shows that Brooklyn knows their stuff with Belgian-style ales.

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA

Appearance: Poured in a traditional pint glass.  Light copper hue, clear, nice sized head somewhat off white, creamy and thickr than expected. Quickly fading head, but nice lacing on the glass.  

Nose: Classic piney hoppy nose, but not overwhelming.  Hints of floral, citrus and some type of herbal sents.

Taste: Toasted malty start that quickly changes to a strengthening dose of fresh hopiness, short burst of bitterness follows, was hoping for more.  Injection of a faint sweetness of the fruity type and eventually reverts back to bittery hoppy ending.  The finish was enjoyable almost pleasant with a clingy bitterness that lingered with a touch of sweet caramel. 

Drinkability:  Medium smooth body

Overall: This IPA is very enjoyable, very good.  Nicely crafted with a refreshing and satisfying, lasting impression.  Sure, I'll have another.

Serving type: bottle

Blue moon Rounders pale Ale

Blue moon Rounders pale Ale 

Appearance –  coppery color with reddish hue and small white quickly dissipating head usually seen with Belgium style brews. Only a trace of lace on the sides of the glass remains when I'm ready for a sip.

Smell – Bready, yeasty aroma is present with a heavy caramel waft wrapped in and a lightly roasted malt scent. A deeper sniff recognizes an almost citrus smell mixed with light herbs and a traditional Belgian spice smell.

Taste – A robust biscotty flavor met with a strong sweetness of caramel sugars greets the tongue with a strong showing of a bready flavor as well. As the flavor advances it remains rather sweet with some orange and tangerine flavors coming more toward the middle and the end. In the middle of the taste a hint of coriander and a toffee like flavor also join ending in a nice bitter kick.

Mouthfeel- The body of the beer is on the medium to heavy side with a decent carbonation complimenting the sweet & bitter flavors.  

Overall – An easy drinking beer that is rather tasty for a larger commercial brewery.

Serving type: bottle
