: Ale Asylum Ambergeddon – It’s a hoppy amber beast.

: Ballast Point Big Eye – This west coast brew is finally available in my market and I couldn’t be happier. It is a solid west coast style IPA. Crisp, hoppy and refreshing. Citrus, pine and floral notes dominate the nose and palate with just the right amount of bitterness.

: Stone Woot Stout – A big stout brewed with rye, wheat malt, pecans and then aged in whiskey barrels. Kinda nutty.

: Ale Asylum Satisfaction Jackson – A hopped up slightly malty IIPA. It’ll satisfy ya.

: Three Floyds Alpha King – Big, crisp and hoppy this pale ale is not to be missed.

: Sierra Nevada Devestateion – Not quite the devastation that Sierra Nevada made it out to be. Big and roasty with hints of coffee. The hops shine through the darkness to lend a solid citrus flavor.

: Terrapin White Chocolate Moo-Hoo – A White Milk Chocolate Stout. I really enjoyed this limited brew from Terrapin. I didn’t quite get white chocolate out of it but it was delicious. Loads of dark chocolate and vanilla flavor going on.

: Rogue Old Crustacean – One of my favorite barley wines, though I’m not sure I’ve met one that I didn’t like. Bold with spicy hops and loads of malt. Nice and boozy but easily quaffable. I love a good Quaff.

: Southern Tier Compass – It is a pale ale brewed with rose hips and a good bit of hops. When poured it smells seriously floral with the scent of roses flowing out of the top of the glass. it has a really nice citrus flavored hop profile going on that nicely compliments the rose.

: Heavy Seas Yule Tide – An Imperial Red Ale brewed with ginger and aged in rum barrels. This thing smelled like hot buttered rum. The taste was more of the same with a bit of sweetness finished with a hint of spicy ginger.

: Lagunitas Brown Shugga – A delicious treat to bring in the cool winter weather. It had a shit ton of maltyness and a bit of hops to keep that malt in check. It is almost 10% but goes down scary easy.

: Chipotle Smoked Imperial Porter – Smokey and a touch of spice/heat.

: Big Boss Bad Penny – Solid brown ale. Reminds me of Watership Brown by Red Hair

: Big Boss High Roller IPA – What can I say It’s a “balanced” IPA. If that’s your thing you’ll like it.

: Boulevard Single-Wide IPA – Solid relatively hop forward IPA. Kinda reminds me of 60 Min.

: Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA – Solid slightly hop forward IPA.

: Dofgfish Head 90 Min IIPA – It’s big and hoppy. It’s big and malty. It’s a beer you should try if you haven’t. It might have been the first IIPA that I ever tried; many, many beers and years ago.

: Founders Breakfast Stout – I love this fucking beer. One of the best stouts ever created.

: Founders Rübæus – I need to do a real review of this Raspberry wonder bomb. It is fruity as hell. A little tart and a little sweet . Purple. Awesome and refreshing.

: Heavy Seas Siren Noir – Chocolate and Bourbon and Oak. What else do you need?

: Sierra Nevada Hoptimum – Giant, bitter, and hoppy. This badass just drips with pine, citrus, and resiny goodness.

: Sierra Nevada & Boulevard Terra Incognita – Roasty and oaky with a bit of tarty sourness from wild yeast.

: Terrapin Wake and Bake – Awesomeness. Coffee all over this thing. Great way to start your day.

: Bells Two Hearted Ale IPA – Great IPA. It is one of my go to beers. Light, crisp, hoppy, and refreshing.

A glass of Sierra Nevada Big Foot with Wet Citra Hops added to the glass

Big Foot hopped up with some wet Citra hops.

I decided to amp up an all ready big brew(Sierra Nevada Big Foot) by throwing in some Citra hops that I had in the freezer; the Citra hops were wet hops left over from harvest season. I made sure to stash some in my freezer for future use. I swirled and squished the hops a bit in the beer to force some of tasty fresh hop goodness into the beer immediately. After it sat for about 5 – 10 mins it was like i was drinking a completely different beer. It tasted like a malt bomb of an IPA with the fresh citrus notes battling the malty finish. The fresh Citra flavors hung out for a while after sipping and left my pallet begging for another swill.
