Saverne - Boris.
So this video won't load. It was an average beer from France of all places. Could've done better, but it was interesting at least.
I recommend against it, but it has a few redeeming qualities.
2.0 out of 5.

Oh Canada... I wish your beer was as good as your hockey-related cable programming.

Suds 401-404
This is it! my final post before I am all caught up!!!
Delirium Noel
Sweet and alcoholic (just what we like). Dark amber color with a mild hoppiness. This beer had some hints of cider within it and it really held its carbonation well. 3.75 steins out of 5.
Cream City Pale Ale
This beer was real hoppy for a pale ale. But it actually smells hoppier than it is. It basically was a pretty standard Pale with a little extra. 3 out of 5 steins.
River Horse Hop Hazard Pale Ale
Smells like a Hefeweizen. Has a real sweet-maltiness to it. Like a pale Hefeweizen. Tastes a little unfinished, like it was pulled out of the fermenter a little early. 2.25 out of 5 steins.
Oskar Blues Old Chub
All I have is 2 Wes quotes... "Looks and smells more like a Porter than a Scottish" and "A Scotch Ale wills balls, big old chubby balls" Hmm... Wes seems to like to compare things to testicles...3.75 out of 5 steins.
MmHmm that there means I am all caught up with my blog posts! Read and enjoy!

Brewski 392-400
You read the title right! I am back from dinner and I have an important beer (#400) to bring to you!
Ithaca Double IPA
Personally, when I read double IPA, I think the beer should have all the qualities of an IPA 2x. This I wouldn't say fits the bill. It's sweet, but not hoppy enough. A rather cloudy beer which gains itself a 3 out of 5 steins.
Samuel Adams Long Shit Grape Pale Ale
Now, if you aren't very familiar with Sam Adams, they hold a competition each year for people to homebrew beer. The person who brews the best gets it distributed. There are 2 winners (1 employee and 1 consumer). Now onto the beer. This beer really lives up to its name. It has a feaux grape smell. "Like you had a glass of white wine and a glass of beer, then burped" comments Wes. All in all a less than delicious beer, 2.75 out of 5 steins.
Samuel Adams Long Shot Weizenbock
This beer is wheaty-bocky, what I would say as true to its style. However, the smell isn't very appetizing. Wes wanted me to add that he doesn't particularly like the style. 2.5 out of 5 steins.
Samichlaus (from the Castle Brewery)
"I almost just puked; that was nasty" was the first thing out of Retha's mouth. I cleverly added, "Nips the nose and bites everything" 2.75 steins out of 5.
Stone Coast Brewing Co. Knuckle Ball Bock
Yet another name that is far too long. This beer certainly has a bock color. But I thought it tasted like seltzer water. Wes couldn't really taste the bock. So in essence this beer looked like a bock, but brought no other bock qualities. 2 steins out of 5.
Sunday River Black Bear Porter
Smells like a Pale Ale. Kind of thin for a Porter. Which lead me to think that it was like a pale porter. The porter qualities really come out in the after taste. We gave this alcoholic beverage a 2.5 out of 5 steins.
Wolaver's India Pale Ale
This was a pretty good IPA; but it just doesn't have enough bite. This beer was bold but not nasty. Retha added, "This is very good" which you know is big because she hates IPAs. 4 out of 5 steins.
Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout
"Ooo That's really good, I like that a lot!" I opened with Wes' praises because I think that in a nutshell describes how we felt about this beer. A strong coffee smell fills the nostrils. A wow all around. 4.75 out of 5 steins.
Fuller's London Porter (beer 400)
Good. "I like it a lot, this is what a Porter is to me" - Wes 4.5 out of 5steins.

Cold ones 361-365
"I would never wish a warm one on anybody" -Strong Bad (cheap reference for all you other geeks out there). I have 10 min before I goto dinner... So here's a quick 5 for you all.
Brooklyn Lager
"Pretty good Lager" commented Wes. I thought, "It's nothing special" 3 steins out of 5.
Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus
blogspot doesn't let me add accents... but there were some in that name. Wine aroma, nice and tart. Boobies can be found on the bottle. "Nice and fruity" commented Rebone (aka Retha). 4.25 out of 5 steins.
Boon Oude Geuze Mariage Parfait
I hate long beer names... Kind of bland (actually really bland). "Smell hypes you up for something that's not there" -W. "It's sharp for 1/2 second and then nothing" I pontificated. 2.25 out of 5 steins.
Geuze Girardin 1882
God I hope this beer isn't from 1882... "OOooOOO good tart" Wes decided to say. Doesn't smell like Geuze. Best tasting in my opinion... 3 out of 5 steins.
GOD I'M HUNGRY
Brooklyn East India Pale Ale
Not as strong as an IPA should be. I wouldn't call it an IPA. Christ... someone said, "Cups balls instead of twists" (who would say that... really... that's kind of off don't you think? Who twists balls?!) "If I had balls it wouldn't be grabbing them" -Rebone. 2.25 out of 5 steins.

alcoholic beverages made with yeast and grain numbered 348-352
That's right! I found a hot minute to do a little posting!! So I am bringing you beers that were tasted a rather long time ago... Let's hope my notes are good enough to give you guys some decent feedback...
Liefman's Kriek
This beer is of the Oudnaarde style (heh I said naard). Now this beer from the get-go reaked of alcohol (which I guess some people like... I don't... but hey I'm weird sometimes. It was very tart and very sweet to the tongue... Kind of a Brown meets Lambic (which means you just pleased the various people of the group). We then decided to grant this fun one 4.25 steins out of 5.
Liefman's Goudenband
Are they trying to implying something about this beer (good and bad)? Wes literally had to sieve out the sediment using a cloth towel. Kind of gross action... but it shows his dedication to tasting beer for you all. This beer has a subtle stout taste that can be found in the aftertaste. This was certainly less good than the other Liefman's we've had, but it still gained a 3.25 out of 5 steins.
Affligem Noel
As you must have guessed by the name, this is a Christmas Ale. Why we drank it in March is beyond me... Retha the Grinch decided to evilly ask, "Is this the last Christmas Ale? I don't like Christmas." Wow, I didn't think Retha had that kind of evil in her. "Woah this thing has balls, that are spicy" added Wes. I guess he's tasted enough balls to know what spicy ones taste like... And someone, whom I forgot to write the name of, said, "Of fuck, that is nasty" which kind of sounds like something Retha usually says. This beer got a gross, out of season, 2 out of 5 steins.
Pauwal Kwak
Heh... those are both funny words to me... Very subtle hoppiness, real spirity, and you can really taste the grain. This beer holds a nice, sort of, Red Ale color. No other notes on this one... so to the rating: 2.25 out of 5 steins (I guess we didn't like the flavors stated).
Lefthand Jackman's American Pale Ale
Really, do you need all those words in the title? I mean c'mon... Real hoppy. Pretty standard Pale Ale; which gets a pretty standard rating of 2.5 out of 5 steins.
