Longtrail Double IPA

Im a big fan of LongTrail... I haven't had any of their Brewmaster series though...

First Impressions: opaque orange colored... looks a bit like a weisse, smells of orange

Taste: extremely hoppy but not bitter start. Middle is more malty... with some alcoholic tastes... ends a bit bitter.

Overall: good reminds me a lot of dogfish head 90 minute ipa... decent beer, but not great.

Smithwicks Irish Ale

First Impressions: Big head. amber colored.

Taste: Decently hoppy start and balanced well with malt in the middle. not much in the way of aftertaste

Overall: good I'm Impressed, I thought this being a mass produced beer wouldnt be that great. But its impressively well balanced. It doesn't have a ton of different flavors, but what it does... it does well

Troegs Dream weaver Wheat

Troegs makes some good stuff, and I love hefeweissens so I decided to give it a try. First time having it was after a hike... should be a nice refreshing beer.

First Impressions: Nice orange color, smells nicely like a wheat beer.

Taste: slightly sour for a wheat beer, still a bit bready but has a bitter end.

overall: ok/good This is good for an American wheat beer, but its definitely not a German Hefeweisse.
