Heelch O'Hops

Heelch O'Hops-Double IPA-Anderson Valley, 12 oz bottle. A Hoppy Double Ipa, that delivered everything the label said it would. A great aroma with several aromas of hops. A 8.7% alcohol and a mild to high bitterness. It was too bitter for me, but a well made beer.

Out of your Gourd Pumpkin Porter

Out of Your Gourd Pumpkin Porter, Redhook- in 12 oz bottle. A strange assembly of spices come across your tongue. It took multiple sips to get a good taste of this beer. It has a great aroma hard to describe. It is unique as far a pumpkin beers; smooth and spiced. The a maple flavor comes into the picture. A good beer worth trying.

Swill

Swill- 10 Barrel -22 bottle. This "beer" is light, smooth and bubbly. The mrs vaguely remembered liking it at the recent brew fest, but quickly apologized after taking a sip. This is more of a shandy, rather than a beer. It was a more sugary, citrus and sweet. The alcohol was around 3-4 %.

Colette

Colette-a rustic farmhouse ale -Great Divide Brewing Company - bottle A light smooth ale. It was crisp with a light fruit flavor, that comes off very tart. It was refreshing but had a very yeasty smell. It was a Belgian Style that was made well and hid the 7.3% alcohol.
