  • Are you ready for some Football (US)?

    It's Vikings time Iin a bit, and time for a beer from cheesehead land... beer from cheesehead land, on a Vikings game day? Yes it is.

    Central Waters Ouisconsing Red Ale from a bottle from Amherst, Wisconsin.

    I've consumed half of it already, since my phone decided to forget my cs login info, and had to reset it.

    Color, well, red. Head, not a lot. Minimal head. Taste: you get a nice malty flavor in the beer. It's fairly typical of the red ales, and it's not bad at all. I do like red ales, and it is good. 6.5 out of 10. Now, enough bottle beer, and it's stein time.

    • Oh, Jester, watching the Vikings game, I'm getting to the point where you wanted me to be at when I was in Key West. The walk home will be interesting.

      • Vic, I didn't want you to be at any particular point, per se. I just wanted you to keep up. After all, you were on a cruise ship, didn't have to drive or even call a cab, didn't have to be at work the next day, and only had to walk a few blocks to the cruise ship shuttle. In short, you had no place to be and no worries about getting there.

        Hope you enjoyed the walk home more than the game, since your Vikings got as wrecked as you did today.

        • A new brew I found on the Taproom Travelers.

          American Sky Brewing Co. Red Tail.

          It's a Marzen Octoberfest beer. Red in color. Not much nose.

          Taste. Nice. It has a nice smooth flavor going down. It's an easy drinking red beer. nice, mild hopps. damn good. I will give it a 6.5 out of 10. Edit - the more I think about it, it deserves a 7. Very solid beer.

          • When I was at the American Sky brewery, I also picked up a bottle of their Operation Berlin Berliner Weisse as well as a 4 pack of their Red Tail.

            With their Berliner Weisse, they recommended that I wait a few months before opening it, because it's still aging. It would be good now, but better down the road. I'll probably wait till Christmas time before I open, and enjoy it.

            • Brooklyn Oktoberfest.

              Holy head Batman! No nose to it, that I can tell.

              Taste: it is good, but not anything special, sadly. it's got all the standard Oktoberfest flavor, but on the bland side.5 out of 10 seems ok, for an ok to good beer. It is a letdown from the Red Tail from last night.

              • Hey VS!
                Nuthin' to say really, just didn't want you to think you were all alone in here. 'preciate the reviews, and will hop (no pun intended) back in when 'prep-for-winter' stuff slows down a tad.

                • Thank you sms001, my liver was starting to think I was by myself. Since we're in the same general area, I might find some new gems for you.

                  Now to beer. A Beer Camp beer

                  Chico King Pale Ale - 6.5% ABV and 45 IBU.

                  Nice amber color when poured. Not too much head. The nose smells a lot like the nose from Killians.

                  Taste: It tastes, to be honest, a lot like a Killians type red ale. It's good, but there's nothing outstanding about it. I was hoping for more from it, and I'll have to give it a 5 out of 10.

                  • Time for another review, and it's a Beer Camp review, but not from the 12 pack. It's Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp beer

                    West Coast Double IPA - 8.5% ABV no IBU listed,

                    It comes in a 24 oz bottle, so there's a good chance I'll be feeling little pain by the time I'm done with it.

                    Nice light golden color, and a fairly thick head on it. I smell hopps, and it's a nice smell.

                    Taste - Nice IPA flavor. That being said, it isn't anything extraordinary. It's really not much different than a standard IPA, not that it's a bad thing, but I was hoping for more. 5 out of 10.

                    Also Saturday I'll have several reviews. I'll hopefully have reviews of the New Glarus Staghorn, which is their Oktoberfest. Lazy Monk Oktoberfest Lager. Finally a special beer that sounded so amazing I had to get it: Lift Bridge Commander. It is a barleywine and a intoxicating 12.5% ABV. There may be other reviews (probably one from American Sky in Hudson), but we'll see. Good drinking to you all.

                    • My liver isn't getting much of a break this week.

                      Oskar Blues Old Chub.

                      Holy head Batman. No nose to it.

                      Taste. Wow! It is so smooth going down the hatch. It has a rich flavor that is very pleasing, and it's one hell of a Scotch Ale. 8 out of 10.

                      • Old Chub is the bomb. Been drinking it for years. Though for me it's more of a 7 than a 10. But to each their own.....

                        • A little something to add to my last comment: if you ever get a chance to try Old Chub on a nitro (Guinness-style) tap, that IS the bomb. Utterly amazing. The aeration the nitrogen gives it just elevates it far beyond its original iteration.

                          • That sounds so amazing.

                            Also this beer sounds amazing as well, and I hope they still have some when I get to the American Sky Brewery tomorrow

                            How does a subtle smoked, malt meets honey, maple and caramel complex sweet smokey beer sound?

                            • American Sky Smokescreen.

                              It is pitch black, with little head. not much nose.

                              Taste. slight smoky taste, but balanced with a sweet flavor, but not sikingly sweet. the smoke hits you in the aftertaste. a very good beer and I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

                              • Surley Furious from the Surley Brewing.

                                Dark amber in color. not too much head on it. kinda of a nutty nose to it.

                                Taste: it's got a nutty flavor to it, as well as a bit of hopps. It does have a bit of a nutty hoppy aftertaste to it. not bad, and it will go for a 6 out of 10.
