How We Review

What the brewers say

“The Heiress is our take on a classic Bohemian Pilsner. Refreshing and effervescent with a snow-white head, it’s earthy and floral with a clean, bitter finish. It’s the perfect beer for fans of traditional Pilsners and for converting people whose only reference points for Pilsners are the adjunct versions sold twenty-four to a box.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Big bready malt, fresh ground Pilsner malt with some rich toasty notes mixed in. No discernable hops aroma, however.”

Flavor: “A firm bitterness lingers pleasantly throughout. Moderate malt, bready and toasty. Fairly light on the hops flavor. The hops bitterness is a bit pronounced for the style, but it balances the sweetness.”

Overall: “Nice balance of the sweetness and bitterness. A little more hops flavor would be nice, but it’s drinkable and traditional.”

Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA

Fresh Haze IPA from Deschutes Brewery is their hazy twist on Fresh Squeezed IPA. Tropical, mango, citrusy goodness from Mandarina, Amarillo and Cashmere hops. The orange citrus sweetness explodes in your mouth and the almost creamy-like body keeps these lingering flavors around long after each sip.

New Belgium La Folie Grand Reserve: Honey Saffron

“Introducing La Folie Grand Reserve: Honey Saffron. Brewed using Afghan saffron, African wild-bee honey, and specialty malts and served on nitro. We promise you’ve never experienced La Folie like this ... or any other beer.”

Captain Pabst Seabird IPA

“A highly sessionable, premium, India Pale Ale, crafted with the values of American brewing icon Capt. Frederick Pabst. Seabird is brewed to deliver an exceptional sensory experience. The hop aroma has a slightly piney and citrus nose. The body balances the hops with notes of pine and resin and leads to a smooth, clean finish. An easy-drinking IPA with dimension.”

Area Two Synopsis Red Fruits

“Synopses Red Fruits uses wild and cultured yeast strains and age on wood to deliver subtle funk notes, while abundant amounts of fruit create a provocative and refreshingly tart beer. Synopsis Red Fruits delivers a tart, enjoyable pucker. This new series features rotating 2-packs and quarterly drops of new flavors.”

Tröegs Independent Brewing Field Study

“In the hop fields, we daydream and study, and at the brewery, we tinker and test. For Field Study, dry-hopping delivers notes of ripe grapefruit, mango, pear, and melon. Add a backbone of local rustic pale malt, and Field Study is just what we were after: a slightly hazy yet bright summer daydream come true. We taste: ripe grapefruit, pear, hint of melon.”

Deschutes WOWZA! Lo-Cal Hazy Pale Ale

“WOWZA! this beer is impossibly delicious! With only 100 calories, 4g of carbs, 4% ABV and a crisp, light finish, this full-flavored yet crushable hazy pale ale will make you say…WOWZA! Brewed with Simcoe, Citra, and Cashmere hops to bring notes of candied orange and passionfruit while Callista hops deliver blackberry notes. Our brewers used Chicory Root to bring balance to the body of the beer without affecting the calorie count.”

New Belgium La Folie Wood-Aged Sour

“La Folie, French for ‘the folly,’ is a beer steeped in New Belgium brewing tradition. This wood- aged, sour brown spends one to three years in big oak barrels known as foeders. Folie is sharp and sour, full of green apple, cherry, and plum-skin notes. Pouring a deep mahogany, the mouthfeel will get you puckering while the smooth finish will get you smiling. Not a beer for the timid, La Folie is a sour delight that will turn your tongue on its head.”

Tröegs Independent Brewing Blizzard of Hops Winter IPA

“We created this Winter IPA to toast hops growers around the world for another successful har- vest. This storm of hoppy citrus and pine notes is a bright remind- er that the end of the Hop Cycle is only the beginning. We taste: spruce tips, pineapple, orange rind. ABV: 6.4%; Malt: Pilsner, Unmalted Wheat, White Wheat; Hops: Centennial, Chinook, El Dorado; Dry Hops: Chinook, Galaxy; Yeast: Ale; Color: Hazy Gold”

Sierra Nevada Celebration Fresh Hop IPA

“The start of Celebration season is a festive event. Once the first fresh hops arrive from harvest, the party begins! Famous for its citrus and pine aromas, Celebration is bold and intense, featuring Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook hops—honoring everything we have at Sierra Nevada. Available for a limited time.”

Two Roads Two Die For Raspberry Chocolate Stout

“This super decadent stout is brewed with a healthy dose of chocolate and real raspberry that together create a luscious brew that just might remind you of something you’d find in your favorite box of chocolates. The taste is to die for—but what a way to go!”
