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: ★★★★★★★½☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
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: ★★★★★★★★★★★★½☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
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: ★★★★★½☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
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.
