Lion Stout

Description - Stout

Maker - Lion Brewery

Notes - This one has a pretty 'burned' overarching flavor, and then a meaty overtone that lies on top. I felt like I was drinking the lion's dinner.

6/10

Farmer's Friend

Description - Irish Style Ale

Maker - Palisade Brewery

Notes - A very pleasant ale with good depth and just a little bite to even out its maltiness.

7/10

Boulevard Pale

Description - Pale Ale

Maker - Boulevard Brewing Co.

Notes - With the distinctiveness of the hop flavor in this brew, it was a lot closer to an IPA in my mind. Didn't have a lot else going for it.

5/10

Lunar Ale

Description - Ale with added yeast for bottle fermentation

Maker -Boulevard Brewing Co.

Notes - Dark in hew, this ale is quite close to a brown. It's rich and full, and has nice complexities.

8/10

Zon

Description - Witbier

Maker - Boulevard Brewing Co.

Notes - Nice and cloudy, this witbier has a pleasant, light flavor. With hints of orange peel and coriander, it's quite refreshing.

7/10

Bully! Porter

Description - Porter

Maker - Boulevard Brewing Co.

Notes - It took a while to get through this one. Not because it was bad, just because it was heavy. Heavy on the coffee/nut flavors.

6/10

Boulevard Wheat

Description - Wheat Beer

Maker - Bouldevard Brewing Co.

Notes - An entirely average wheat. Strangely not very good with food, but has pleasant sweet highlights.

6/10

Balistreri Late Harvest Zin 2006

Description - Late harvest Zinfandel

Maker - Valistreri Vineyards

Notes - This wine has probably the most flavor of any I've ever had. It's super sweet and heavily infused with tannins.

8/10

Winter Welcome Ale & Banana Bread Beer

Description - Winter ale & beer brewed with bananas

Makers - Samuel Smith Old Brewery & Wells and Young's Brewing Co.

Notes - These two were recommended to me to be mixed. Trying them on their own: the banana beer was too sweet, and the winter ale was bitter and too simple. But, together they made a smooth, slightly sweet concoction with great depth.

Banana: 7/10
Winter: 5/10
Together: 8/10

Falshback

Description - India Brown Ale

Maker - Boulder Beer Company

Notes - My first India Brown Ale, and I have to say that I prefer it to regular IPAs. It has the hop bite of an IPA and the complexity of a brown.

7/10

Scorpion

Description - Pale Ale

Maker - Moab Brewery

Notes - Just like the name suggests, this ale has a slight bite to it. But it has enough other subtleties that make it nice.

7/10

Franziskaner Weissbier

Description - Hefeweissbier

Maker - Spaten-Franziskaner-Brau GMBH

Notes - An alright hefe, but a little too much tang.

6/10

Summit Pilsner

Description - Bohemian Style Pilsner

Maker - Summit Brewing Co.

Notes - I don't remember much about this one, but it was the best pilsner I've had. There was a lot more depth than I'm used to in a pilsner.
