Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Samuel Adams Tasman Red IPA

is tough to peg. Big-box brewery? The sizeable commercial budget suggests they are. High-profile microbrewery? Maybe. Their collection of different varieties says so. As for this small-batch offering, it satisfies. Not only picking up strong hop flavor, but the rich smokiness of an exceptional brown.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Stone Levitation Ale

Stone Levitation Ale
Not the best beer I've had from perhaps California's most prestigious brewery. The American amber's a little light and yet it has a strong and lasting aftertaste. Honestly though, I was just shocked to realize post-purchase that it's just 4.4 ABV. Man! That's Miller Lite territory, right?
