The DL Double drinks much easier than its 8.2 ABV. The pour is a dark orange juice color with just the right amount of head. The nose on the beer radiates an intense tropical aroma. One sip, and it's easy to tell the flavor on the DL Double is well balanced from beginning to end. First, the seriously intense tropical hoppy flavor comes through...
As it goes down, there's a soft after taste of more Grapefruit, pineapple and tropical goodness followed by a long-lingering aftertaste. It's a dangerously smooth 8% though. There's a tiny alcohol note on the after taste as it warms up, but...
This brew is light bodied and has an immediate hoppy kick like any IPA but has a smooth grapefruit like finish. I highly recommend enjoying this beverage with your favorite fast food or salty snack. The balance between bitter sweet and your favorite greasy burger is...
It's as refreshing as any Pale Ale I've ever had. Pub Crawl Pale Ale smells of very, very vibrant floral and citrus. The can reads "bright and sessionable," and it couldn't be more true. The flavor of Pub Crawl Pale Ale starts off crisp as...
The aroma I got from Color Blind was all hops. Fruity and piney hops. The malt aromas in this light amber colored concoction were completely covered up so I expected to be hit with a hop beam when I took a hearty gulp...
Saint Arnold, in tradition with their epic ICON series, has released a brew that boasts a multitude of fruit notes, an impressive malt bill (a hefty list of malts and grains), and a hop they have never brewed with in their over 20 years of brewing history...
Now on to the important part of the review, how's it taste (Chappelle Show fans fill in the blanks)? Simply put, if you like beer and you like coffee, you're going to love Cortado. Brash is all local, and they use beans from...
Watermelon Wheat takes their wheat beer base and adds watermelon to it. Pretty simple. The can features a pastel red color with the Galveston Bay lighthouse logo and the name in bold text at the forefront. Waves crash into each other behind...
This craft brew is a Belgian Style Whitbier, which basically means that this summer quencher is not only light and tart but it has enough layered aroma and flavor to rival hearty winter beers. I found it to be an excellent summer brew and it seems like the hundreds of other athletes...
Bobby shared a funny story with us about sourcing the corn for his Blue Testament pils. He looked high and low all over Texas, but nobody was interested in selling the quality corn at such a low volume. Frustrated and at his wits end, he ended up...
There are dozens of macro comparisons here, so I really want to make this one count. One of my good friends is a devout drinker of Dos Equis, and despite me trying again and again to convert him, he's steadfast. I really wanted to try Border Town Lager for him. It reminds me more of a...
Perpetual Peace is part of the Off Label series. At certain times of the year, No Label puts out limited release beers under this label and perhaps you've seen some of them. Perpetual Peace is the only one (that I have seen in the past few years) that is barrel aged. It's a...
More Cowbell pours golden orange and leaves a fine white foam that will sustain itself through the duration of the brew; which if you enjoyed it like I did then it won’t last long. The aroma that it gives off is floral notes with hints of caramel, but the taste is sweet with just the right kick of...
Fancy Sauce IPA pours a slightly dark golden colored body with a single finger worth of white head that quickly disappeared. Lacing is heavy all the way down the glass. with a real clean, crisp mouth feel....
Let me start by saying this is one of the most polarizing beers I know of. Anytime it's mentioned the hard-core beer snobs hate it, the macro drinkers have never heard of it, and the people in between...
7 Spanish Angels flowed into my pint glass and had a dark amber color that a brown ale should. There wasn't a lot of carbonation after the pour and the little bit that was present faded quickly. I loved the...
I first laid my Asian American eyes on this rare gem at “The Flying Saucer” downtown while waiting for a friend. I call this a rare gem because this brew was created on May 28, 2015 and wasn’t released to the public’s greedy little craft beer loving hands until...
Sometime ago, Saint Arnold started having lots of fun with their Boiler Room Berliner Weisse and adding fruit to it. The story goes that the brewery took to the Twitterverse to ask whether they should call this beer, "Raspberry Boiler Room" or "Raspberry AF." Of course, when you ask the internet...
7 Iron is great to share with new drinkers in the craft world because they won’t be turned off by the slight kick of hops. As I mentioned before this is a foundation beer, that was created to be paired with a stick and ball game of Scotland, so it makes sense that the...
I've been waiting for this Saint Arnold Icon Green El Dorado IPA for 6 months or more. The guys had lunch at Saint Arnold one day when I couldn't peel myself away from work, and they got a little Easter-egg-info that had me green with envy. We took the info and made it...
