Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Ommegang Witte

Ommegang Witte
Cooperstown, New York brewery's wheat ale features golden color, subtle citrus kick, and healthy amounts of Belgian spicing. Would be terrific beer to drink in the summer, with its light feel and session-beer ABV. A flawless specimen that leaves you impressed, yet lacks an element that creates excitement.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Clown Shoes Miracle India Pale Ale

Clown Shoes Miracle India Pale Ale
On label of this beer by the Ipswich, MA, brewery, it's detailed how percentage of item's profits goes to Clown Shoes Minor Miracle Fund, which benefits people in ways that aren't described. Makes it hard to say the beer is decent but pedestrian. Heavily hopped, but lacks additional flavor. Sorry!

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Fegley's Brew Works Monkey Wrench Saison Ale

Fegley's Brew Works Monkey Wrench Saison Ale
When I first picked up this 22-ouncer, looked at bottom. Filmy substance floating around worried me. Was either packed with flavor or it was skunked. Almost went with Victory Hop Wallop. Leapt faithfully. Beautiful, hazy golden color. Splendid, lemony spicing. Thinner than highest-echelon Belgians, but contains sizeable pop.

Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale
As I write, I'm listening to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street. Are there any beers that would taste bad while taking in such gritty, dirty, devilish audio? I taste hops. I taste oranges. I taste smoky malt. Just spent 30 seconds inhaling it. Another treasure from the CA.

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Clown Shoes Hoppy Feet Black IPA

Clown Shoes Hoppy Feet Black IPA
Tough to diss beer that was purchased lovingly by one's spouse, but here goes: Felt a little deceived by this. Supposed to be mix of stout and IPA, but I tasted mostly stout. Lacked hops. Not much of a scent. A plain beer experience and, well, not really true advertising.

Green Flash Brewing Company Trippel Ale
Was starting to wonder if the San Diego-based brewer made anything other than their West Coast IPA, which I've enjoyed on several occasions. When I saw this 22-ouncer, I passed up Stone's Cali-Belgique to give it a try. It's pretty respectable. Hope I made right decision.

Dogfish Head My Antonia Imperial Pilsner
The wife bought this 25.4-ouncer at Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting. I had no idea what an imperial pilsner would taste like. I do know that the label said "continually hopped," and sure enough the thing was extremely hoppy, close to the level of an IPA. Tremendous label art.

Brewery Ommegang Rare Vos
Because every once in a while you need a beer that requires the popping of a cork. This Belgian-style amber packs a serious punch via its pleasing scent and robust, spicy (almost smoky) flavor. Best reason to go to Cooperstown since the Baseball Hall of Fame.
