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...
I was feeling a little decadent on the way home today and decided to snag a bottle at my local liquor store so I could have it as a dessert after dinner. Red Velvet Stout's label features multiple shades of red. A deep mahogany red gives way to...
NRB Kadigan Blonde is a pretty good beer. As a rule, I don't care much for blondes because they're low in flavor and don't lend themselves to much creativity as a style. That's not to say all blondes are bad, but they're just far from...
I REALLY enjoyed Divine Reserve 16 when it came out, so I was excited to nab Bishop's Barrel 17 in order to see how the barreling had changed this beer. It also pleased me to do a review that none of the other guys are able to do currently...
The taste was what I expected of a St. Arnold craft beer, delicious, creamy, and dare I say almost buttery with its caramel notes as well as bread like after tastes. I found a pleasant crispness to this German style brew that leaves your taste buds refreshed and eager for another...
I think there are mild beers and there are subtle beers. Kangaroo Killer Pale Ale was subtle in the very best way. The aroma of this sneaky little Pale Ale was super-bright and citrusy. Sitting at a subtle 5% ABV, it's crushable, and just like a tiny baby copperhead, it could get...
Pie in the Sky poured thick and dark; thicker than a lot of the porters I've had over my time. The top of the glass was laced with off-white head. The nose on Pie in the Sky was full of sweet milk chocolate and roasted pecans. One of...
Half Nelson Sauvin hops and Half Mosaic Hops are the foundation of this tasty craft beer, hence the name, which could explain the floral notes that are hinted in the after taste. It has a slightly bitter sweet beginning but...
Palmares RIS is a jet black beer with a tall creamy head that didn't stay along for the ride. The full-bodied rich character was bold and delicious. The mouthfeel was a tiny bit on the...
After milking Black Venom into my Teku glass, it's color was jet black with a coffee tan head and the beer had a semi-thick viscosity to it. The nose had coffee and sweet molasses in a very fine balance with hints of dark chocolate. I imagine...
The start of this brew is extremely sweet and has an evident dry mouthfeel. There is a fresh bread style aroma that fills your nostrils as you drink, which combines quite nicely to that crisp finish. In terms of light beers this is...
No Label Test Batch NEIPA had a nose of bold pineapple, grapefruit, and tropical notes, but the nose set me up for...
Houston Haze NEIPA smells of pineapples and Grapefruit, oh so tropical with a tiny hint of grain. The smell parlays perfectly to the flavor. You add that juicy mouthfeel with the carbonation and citrusy flavor, and Houston Haze NEIPA is...
There's no artwork to speak of (yet), but The Cow Jumped Over the Moon NEIPA did come in these dope little Baa glasses, if you showed up early enough, and you guessed it, we all...
When I opened the can and poured B-52's Wheez the Juice into my glass, I could smell the contents immediately and I would say I was perhaps a foot away from the glass. The aroma was fruitier than any beer I’ve had previously and smelled of...
Just like the label warned this American Pale Ale is Hazy and thick. There is a thin layer of foam, but only lasts so long that in fact I had to drink and pour some more to get the shot. It has an awesome hoppy starter kick that mellowed into a...
