Ghost Window Saison: 4.0 – Just another subpar saison, not really bringing anything new, novel, or tasty to the table.

Victory Brewing Company Tart Ten Ale
Tart Ten Ale: 6.0 – This is a nicely tart sour beer, not sure at all what brettanomyces is though. (Turns out it’s why the word Brett has cropped up, and it’s the type of yeast. The first sip is a doozy, but it really quickly grows on you.

Wormtown Warthog Wheat Hefeweizen
Warthog Wheat Hefeweizen: 8.0 – It’s a bit more like an octoberfest but it’s nicely spiced and really tasty. They mention clove and that is likely the culprit behind the spice – so beware if you’re not a fan of cloves.
Price Average: $2

Wormtown Joe Z Coconut Porter
Joe Z Coconut Porter: 7.0 – This is a sweet porter due in large part from the coconut, but it’s unique and actually quite tasty even if you are not a fan of coconut at all.

Wormtown MAxican Lager
MAxican Lager: 7.0 – I feel this pairs with weed as it has that distinct taste without being too hoppy or bitter. Its easy to drink but there is a sharpneass to it.

Wormtown ‘MPL’ Pilsner
‘MPL’ Pilsner: 7.5 – That is a great pilsner its got a really decent amount of hops that adds a spicy element to it, but its balanced enough to make for easy drinking.

Brouwerij Het Anker Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van de Keizer
Cuvee Van de Keizer Beer: 3.0 – That’s too many words. Like as a beer that’s so much. Sorry the last sentence wasn’t about the name, but the beer itself. There’s so much going on, but overall there’s a cloying sweetness that you can’t escape from. It’s like being stuck in a sugary black hole – it’s astounding and so much is intriguing, but you will die of sugar.

George Schneider Aventinus Wheat Doppelbock
Aventinus Wheat Doppelbock: 7.0 – There’s some banana but the overall is more wheat instead of something nutty like other dobbelbocks can be. It’s also super easy to drink.
Price Average: $5

Ommegang Abbey Ale Dubbel
Abbey Ale Dubbel: 6.5 – There’s some meat and fruit, and it’s really nice tasting. The problem is while not sugary – the sweetness here is just a bit too much to make it not great.
Price Average: $9

Kasteel Rouge Ale
Kasteel Rouge Ale: 6.0 – It’s a nice slightly tart and sour beer, and the cherry is a nice addition. The smell alone brings back childhood candy for better or worse. Overall though unless you are seeking out cherries and particularly not fresh cherry taste – this isn’t something you’d buy.
Price Average: $12
