Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA

Tiny bubble pour, warm grain yellow color, strong head.  Pine hops in the smell dominate. 

Awesome bitterness, hops in the flavor can't be missed.  Amazing that a beer can be this tasty and bitter.

Rating = 8  Doesn't get much better than this in the IPA category.

Stone Old Guardian

Very carbonated, head dies quickly.  Strong hop smell with notable hints of barley as title would suggest.

Great dark, hazy wheat look; very sun-burnt yellow.

Well balanced for hop heavy beer, alcohol not overpowering despite 11.3% content.

Rating = 7   Not for the fainthearted, or bud light drinkers.  A winner from Stone.

Shock Top Belgian White

Soft, white head.  Malty smell, slight orange.

Cloudy pilsner look.

Taste a little towards the pilsner side, but with a good amount of wheat and small amount of orange.

Rating = 5 

Since it's from Anheuser Busch it's geared towards being neutral and easily drank, so it's not what I would call Authentic Witbier, but it does hit a few key notes nicely.

Brooklyn Hopfen Weisse

Easy to pour, light but moderately strong head.

Great hazy color, and amazingly a little darker towards the top.

Malty flavor, light fruit (more lemon, less other citrus), light hops.

Easier to drink then what you might think.

Rating = 9

I could drink this every time.

Ommegang Abbey Ale

Slightly strong head, malty and fruity smell, apricot or apple maybe.

Great amber color.
Malty flavor, slightly hoppy with a good amount of fruit flavor.  Refreshing, with a lighter mouth feel.
8.5% alcohol.

Rating = 8, especially satisfying.
