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.

Titan IPA

Less carbonated so pour aggressively.  Long lasting head is forgiving of a novice.  Head smells of equal parts malt and hops with both notes being discernable.                      Mouth-feel is clean with a strong malt start and strong hop finish.  Hops are have a very good, strong citrus flower flavor.                                                                              Beer Rating = 6

Sierra Nevada Wheat

Much better choice than my last entry.
Light malt but enough that you know it's a wheat beer. Very slight hint of spice, slight citrus.
Mouth-feel is excellent, not too heavy, not too light.
Cloudy due to it being unfiltered, but still a light yellow.
Hops are the clean flowery flavor that Sierra Nevada is known for (try their Torpedo if you want to know what their hops are all about).
Hops keep the head strong for ~1-2 min.

Grade 1-10 = 7
