Dundee Pale Ale

Description - Pale Ale

Maker - Dundee Brewing Company

Notes - Like it says, this brew is enjoyably hoppy. While noticeable, it is well-balanced by the sweet and other flavors infused in the mix.


7/10

Skinny Dip

Description - Beer

Maker - New Belgium Brewery

Notes - A light beer with New Belgium's signature hint of hops. Also with citrus highlights, this is a nice calm beer.


6/10

Gouden Carlus - Grand Cru of the Emperor

Description - Belgian Style Ale

Maker - Brewery Het Anker

Notes - This exceptionally strong brew has heavy highlights of coffee and fruit aromas. Almost like a barley wine, it's best enjoyed on its own.


9/10

Black Swan Cab

Description - Cabernet Sauvignon

Maker - Black Swan Vineyards

Notes - With hints of Raspberry and Mocha, this Cab presents a very solid flavor. It's not overpowering in the oak and butter hints and is quite smooth.



6/10

Carlson Cherry Wine

Description - Cherry Wine

Maker - Carlson Vineyards

Notes - Not overly sweet, not overly sour, this mellow wine goes great with food. It's also really nice on its own. The cherry adds just a hint of wonderful flavor.
