Dogfish Head ~ Tweason'ale

Dogfish head is a craft beer company out of Delaware and very know in the area for their IPA style brews. They do an amazing job on that style and you must try one if you have the chance.

Tweason'ale

This is an OK brew. Its crazy light because its gluten-free, now if your looking for a gluten-free beer, you can't go wrong with dogfish head. It's a perfect beer for the summer. It's got lots of noise but for me falls short of the lasting taste side of things. Well, till the next Pint, happy tasting :)

Kronenbourg 1664 ~ Blanc

This is a French beer and although we know the French are known for their fine wines, this brew is not to be missed. This brewery was established in 1664....Duh.... in Strasbourg France. One thing I don't write about and will start with this beer is the bottle, which is a dark blue with an appealing yet simple look.
I enjoyed this one on Aug 8, 2014

 Great clean beer on a summer hot day. nice simple noise but hints of spice on this beer that come out as you allow it to sit in your month. Bountiful creamy head after the first pour that just grabs you
Nice hazy amber color to this beer at calls you to it on a hot day.....Drink me....and yes I did, gratefully. Till the next pint, happy tasting :)

Yule Tide 2013
I pickup sweetness from the, but could be the ginger that they brewed this beer with. Looks like I have to work a bit on my noise :), but this beer has a really nice taste and sparkling month feel that's long lasting. I also picked up a bit of a toasted taste to this brew as I let it sit in my month. This is a really nice beer for a cool to mild night. There is no bitterness to this beer and I think its more of on the complete side. I picked this up very early in the year Jan- Fed but let it sit. I cooled it this week in the frig and really enjoyed it. I will be looking for 2014's this season and will report back. Well till the next Pint, happy tasting :)

Candi ~ Belgian Tripel
What is nice and clean beer. I love this brew, I also shared it with Jill and she also was digging it. Its very a well balanced beer with wonderful month feel. Its a nice intro into the Belgian triple style brews and if you like this one you'll be ready to the Quads. Great beer for any time of the year so if you have a chance and can get it, please do. Well till the next Pint, happy tasting :)
