Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Wolaver's India Pale Ale

Wolaver's India Pale Ale
Otter Creek Brewing Company got me. Never buy two sixpacks by same company at one time. Didn't realize they made Wolaver's beers until I got to car and looked at beer caps. The beer? Hops understated. Accompanying flavors lacking. Scent vague. Musty and indistinct. Not good enough.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Otter Creek Brewing Company Summer


Otter Creek Summer
Starting with the good stuff: Has very pleasing golden color!!! But...not much of a scent. Thin head. Can pick up on some wheat; otherwise it's low on flavor. Little bit of citrus maybe, but it's really slight. Very simple beer. Passable in a pinch. Not memorable.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Magic Hat Brewing Company Circus Boy Hefeweizen


Magic Hat Circus Boy Hefeweizen
The other night, told Fegley Brew Works Twitter team that we'd buy their triple IPA Hop'solutely as thanks for following us. In beer store the other day, I see it. It was $12.99. This one? $8.99. Went cheap. Got what I paid for. Muddy color. Vaguely citrusy taste. Not good.

King of the Case: Long Trail Brewing Company

Wherein I will buy a variety case and decide what the best beer in it is.
Long Trail Brewing Company


Pale AleFeaturing a color between golden and amber, the pale ale had a hoppy scent that didn't translate to a powerful punch upon first sip. On the cosmetic side, it did pour a fairly thick, creamy head. What hops were there did not seem to be offset by a contrasting flavor. As it went on, I began to pick up an almost vinegary feel. All in all, the beer was fairly bland and unsatisfying. Not a major fan.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Long Trail Brewing Company Centennial Red

Long Trail Brewing Company Centennial Red
I've talked about my tendency to avoid beers whose labels I loathe. Long Trail is a frequent victim. Feel like their labels appear put together by a 70-year-old. Their 22-ounce imperial red gets a much cleaner design. Not blown away by flavor though. Smoky. Hoppy. Lacking adventurousness.
