UFO Hefeweizen
Coming into this, Timm already knew that he liked this beer. Wes and I both thought that it smelt a little like a white wine. And I will make the assumption that you have read the older posts, but you ought to know we generally don't like Hefeweizens but this one was good. As a whole we granted this one a 3.75 steins out of 5.
Magic Hat Circus Bay Hefeweizen
We may not like the Hefeweizens... But we do love our Magic Hat... This brew carried a slight hoppy aroma. "This would taste good with Fruitloops" commented Wes, whom apparently drinks beer with breakfast (or dreams about it I don't like to pry into people's personal lives). Timm concurred that this would be, "the alcoholic's breakfast beer" which I found odd... Wes decided to throw in "The teen aged" I think he thinks teen aged alcoholics like to drink beer with their Fruitloops. A prepubescent 4 out of 5 steins.
Clipper City Hanger Ten Unfiltered Wheat
A similar color to a Double Bock, lead to a beer that was far too sweet. It was also very strong you could smell the alcohol rolling off of it from 3 feet away. Also the smell was pretty good, but not very characteristic of a wheat beer. We hated this so much that we gave it a 1.5 out of 5 steins.
Blue Star Wheat
"It's like a yeast farm took a shit in my glass!" I think Wes said it all right there. This beer should have been the unfiltered one. It was cloudy and thick and full of sediment. But ironically it was very tasty. "It's like a flavor burst in my mouth" pontificates Retha. I also didn't mind it which lead to a fair 3.5 steins out of 5.
Lakefront Klisch Pilsner Beer
I love when breweries but beer in the title of their beer... I bought it in a friggen liquor store and it has a surgeon general's warning on it. Oh yea... and it says it has an alcohol content... ASSES! Regardless, this beer didn't taste one bit like a pilsner (though it did smell like one). It was pretty tasty having just the right amount of sweetness and hoppiness. This was an really good beer but certainly doesn't fit its name. Remember I know its a beer because the label told me... 3 steins out of 5.
North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner
Now this beer here, no "Beer" in its name... and it brings what it advertises. This smells like a pilsner, even though Retha thinks it, "smells like dog food." It was pretty heavy for a pilsner. As a group we felt this was a good pilsner taken to the next level which is why we gave it a higher rating than the last pilsner who apparently likes to insult the intelligence of its alcoholic consumers. 3.5 steins out of 5.
Otter Creek Vermont Lager
A rather lightly colored lager with a good flavor. Actually to hell with that. A very good flavor. Not overly original, but still great enough to earn itself a whopping 4 out of 5 steins.
Pennichuck Railyard Lager 2-6-0 Mogul
Huh? Is that the combination to your locker at the rail yard? Wes being from the Midwest knows that this beer, "smells like a cow fart." I personally haven't been hick enough in my life to know what a cow ass smells like; but I guess Wes has hung around enough bovine anus to know. Despite the grass fart smell, this beer tasted great. Wes couldn't get off the topic of cow. In fact he equated this beer to a cow, "delicious and smelly." Ick. The smell definitely lowered its rating which we felt bad about but it also gave Wes a little nostalgia. "The smell of shit makes me think of Ohio" (in case you didn't know, Wes is from Ohio). 3.5 steins out of 5.
Victory Festbier (Oktoberfest)
Smells like raisins to me. But tasted kind of mediocre. Retha really liked it though. That's the extent of my notes... 2.75 out of 5 steins.
