The peppery goodness of grains of paradise. A Summer must!
Ithaca Apricot Wheat
thepaintedman rates this:
Yummy and fruity… even your wife will like this.
Tattooed Brews El Hefe
thepaintedman rates this: 
Unintentional sourness is bad. Poor craftsmanship is worse.
Monks Café Sour Ale
thepaintedman rates this:
When it’s intentional, sourness can be a wondrous thing.
Labatt Summer Blonde
thepaintedman rates this:
Very drinkable, very smooth, lacking in flavor.
Tattooed Brews Poison Apple Dry Malted Cider (Batch #2)
thepaintedman rates this:
That damned unintentional sourness rears it’s ugly head… again.
Cricket Hill Hopnotic IPA
thepaintedman rates this:
Transition brewery does it’s job. Easy IPA for aspiring geeks.
Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier
thepaintedman rates this:
Just a hint of blackberry in well-crafted Belgian style white.
Miller Lite
thepaintedman rates this:
Sympathy points for Harry “The Kid” Henderson. Otherwise, it’s crap.
Killian’s Irish Red
thepaintedman rates this:
A high end cheap beer. Not actually an Irish Red.

[...] This is a very crisp beer. There is a bready taste and very little in the way of any maltiness. As noted, above, the aroma was correct, as it is a hop forward ale, but again there is a desire for more. This tastes like a great “gateway” beer, like Cricket Hill’s Hopnotic IPA. [...]
