Snake Dog IPA

Description - IPA

Maker - Flying Dog Brewery

Notes - This one was not so pleasant to drink. The bitter consumed the rest of the flavor as I got to the bottom. Still not a fan of IPAs.




4/10

Old Scratch Amber

Description - Amber Lager

Maker - Flying Dog Brewery

Notes - Fairly average lager. Reminiscent of Budweiser, but with a slightly fuller taste.




6/10

Adagio

Description - Sweet Red Dessert Wine/ Port

Maker - Bookcliff Vineyards (Colorado)

Notes - Sweet, mild, and easy to drink.




8/10

Boulder Creek Riesling

8/10

Carlson Vineyards - Laughing Cat

Description - 2006 Gerwurztraminer

Maker - Carlson Vineyards (Grand Valley Colorado)

Notes - Quite sweet, and nice flavor. A little bit of bitter though, which took a little away from the enjoyment.




7/10

Dogfish Head IPA

Description - "Continually Hopped" IPA

Maker - Dogfish Head

Notes - I'm also not big on IPAs, but I sure try them a lot. This one was alright. It had a lot of bitter, and not a lot of other flavors.



6/10

Toukai Nigori Sake

Description - Nigori Sake (cold)

Maker - Toukai (Ibaraki Prefecture - Kasama)

Notes - I'm not usually a big fan of nigori sakes, but this one was quite pleasant. It was sweet with only a slight hint of the typical acrid leftovers from distilling.




6/10

Chateau La Lieue - 2007

Description - Rose Wine

Maker - Chateau La Lieue

Notes - Fairly average and drinkable rose.




6/10

Dios Dark Ale

Description - Stout

Maker - Koshi no Iso (Fukui Prefecture - Echizen)

Notes - This was a highly unique ale. It had a fairly mild but dark flavor, with hints of citrus. More intriguing than delicious, but I'd buy it again.



7/10

Young's Oatmeal Stout

Description - Oatmeal Stout

Maker - Young's

Notes - A distinctly smooth attack, and a rich taste. Good nut and grain flavors, and a great, long-lasting finish.
