Going to the Pilsner/lager side today. Had a few last night that got me on a kick. This one has a bready malt. Has some grassy and slightly earthy hops. Starts kind of malty but the hoppy bitterness shows up and becomes just a little more dominant. At first I didn’t like the aftertaste as it was a little funky. About 1/2 way thru that disappeared. Went from a 3.3 to a 3.5. No date on the can.

This is a west coast style Pilsner. Quite different than my previous beer. I could smell the fruit as soon as I cracked the can. This is quite fruity/tropical that leans towards white grape, passion fruit with hints of pineapple and mango. Has a weedy dankness to it with hints of pine. It’s quite hoppy. Has just a touch of toasted white bread malt to it. Has a dry finish. As I finish I feel like I’m describing an IPA than a Pilsner. It kind of tastes like that too. It’s kind of like a light beer version on an IPA. I really liked it though. Very good for a non-traditional Pilsner. Canned 2/18/25. Last few beers have not a had a date on it. They should make it a requirement that a born on / best by date is listed for every can/bottle.

This is a salted brown porter. I needed something different as I’m really tired and won’t last long tonight. This has dark roasted malt that has hints of smoke and char to it. Has some chocolate, toasted caramel and very light coffee. It is very salty that of course makes this finish dry. Very tasty Canned 2/24/25

Happy Friday. Going to some WC IPA’s today. This is kind of new school WC tasting. This has a citrus taste that is mainly lemon with very light grapefruit. It has some hints of pine but barely. Has a hoppy bitterness that is almost medium level. What it is missing is the malty side. It’s there but not nearly of an amount for a true WC style. I rate it high because it is a good IPA. WC style not so much.

After my initial first 3 sips I immediately picked up a grassy, floral and spicy hops taste that had a fairly strong pepper taste to it. It calms down a little and I started getting a more floral hay-like taste. Has very light grainy malt. I still keep getting that underlining pepper taste tho. It’s a little like a green pepper taste and I hate green peppers. 🫑🫑🫑. Ruined it for me. Would have been a drain dump if it hadn’t faded quite a bit. This was supposed to be a German style Pilsner. 11/25/24 canned date.

Has a bready, dark bread in particular, malty taste that is also very lightly nutty with hints of chocolate. Medium bodied Now this is a brown ale that is brewed with local chestnuts. (Brewed in NC). I was expecting a decent level of a chestnut taste. Unfortunately, it is nutty but barely and it isn’t even particularly chestnut like. Overall I rated fairly high as it does have a good taste. When it comes to the chestnuts aspect it could use a bit more oomph.

Lyhytkestoinen vaahto. Tuoksussa pehmeää paahtomallasta, kahvia ja aavistus merellisyyttä. Maku on myös pehmeän paahteinen, kahvi ja suklaata. Jälkimaku kääntyy hieman kitkeräksi ja suola tulee esiin.
