Mikkeller Tomahawk & Chinook



both were rather richly flavored, a dark amber flavor.
the tomahawk was more bitter/hoppy
the chinook had a strange oaky flavor, much smoother than the tomahawk

Four in Hand Crafty Ale - IPA


very hoppy, light, refreshing. not flowery. i LIKE it and it was only $5.99 for a six pack @ whole foods and then it was sold out for the rest of the summer. saw it again starting in september..

Six Point Crisp 16oz can


uhm, lager-y? the can imparts a metallic flavor to all these six points, which i've come to enjoy in the bengali tiger most of all.

Six Point Bengali Tiger + Sweet Action 16oz cans

six point in a can!!!
awesome!!!!!


the bengali tiger is properly hoppy but the sweet action seems a little under-flavored
both beers have a little of that metallic can aftertaste
both beers are a perfect size.

hooray!

Southern Tier Double IPA (2XIPA)



i don't know what a double IPA is, exactly. but it was not twice as hoppy so just 2 times the ... pale?

Founders Centennial IPA




okay.

Roscoe's Hop House Craft Ale - Pale Ale





"subtle malt character balanced by complex hops for a smooth, crisp finish."

it's sweet and sour and i guess hoppy in a weird sweetly bitter/tart way. a sour malt?
gross.

$6-7/six pack @ whole foods.
NEVER AGAIN
