Sweetwater 420

They had a promotion for this where if you bought their product you would get two free pint glasses which is a good deal.  This is a semi-local beer brewed in Atlanta, GA.  This is their IPA version.

Pour, Look, Smell - Pours easy with medium head, clear golden yellow.  Good smell of hops, not overpowering.

Taste - Light to medium hops with medium body and malt.  The hops stand out in the aftertaste.

Rating - 5
This one is a par/sub-par IPA, there are better choices out there.

Flensburger Weizen

This was one I picked up while looking for a gift for a friend's 21st b-day.  I can't pass up a Weiz from anyone.

Look and Pour - Standard wheat with a light frothy but semi strong head, good smell w/ malt and small hops.

Taste - Great wheat taste wins over.  Hope are after.  This is a good warm day beer.

Rating - 6
Nothing against it, just a little boring in my mind.  It's also a classic, so don't pass iit up.

Ommegang Hennepin

This is from Ommegang who I really enjoy.  I have never had a Saison but I bet it will be excellent.

Look, Pour, Smell - Frothy head, light yellow and orange, extra carbonated and extra hops, this one smells very crisp.

Taste - Crisp Belgian style, but with a wheat spice, probably all spice or maybe a little cinnamon.  This is a lighter beer which is nice, light mouth feel with a light residual hops taste.

This being my first of this style is a really good step in the right direction. It tastes great, smells even better, and will probably impress your friends who don't really like "specialty" or "expensive" brews.

Chimay Ale Grande Reserve

I hadn't been to a beer store in a while, so when I got there I wanted to splurge.  This is a Trappist style ale from Belgium.

Look & Smell - Warm nutty brown, rich vanilla head.  Belgian pine hops with warm rich malt smell.

Taste - I had it chilled pretty cool so I poured and then let it sit for ~5 min.  Warm, spiciness underneath.  Warms you up, great for a cool day (or any day for that matter)

This one will blow you away with its fullness.  Be prepared it's strong, but it will make your day.

St. Bernardus Abt 12

I wanted something that might be true to an earlier time, so I chose this ale to satisfy my historic needs.

Pour, Look, Smell - Dark brown, light head, carbonated well, sweet malt, will wet your pallet.

Taste - Awesome full hop and malt taste, spice like a wheat beer, easy to drink for how dark it looks.

Rating - 8

This is a beer everyone should try.  If it's truthful to it's roots, I almost wish I lived in the 12th century.

Allagash Tripel Reserve

Allagash has one of my favorite wheat beers, and so this one shouldn't disappoint.  It is special enough to Allagash to have the batch number on the bottle.                                                                                                      Look, Pour, Smell - Hazy wheat and golden, light but strong head, awesome spice and wheat smell.                                                                            Taste - Citrus, wheat, spice are all balanced, with an extra bit of citrus in the after taste.  Strong flavors.                                                                   Rating - 8                                                                                                          This one will impress you if you like wheat style beers.  This is also another great offering from the Maine based Allagash.

Dogfish Head 120 Min IPA

Preface:  This is a sipping beer, it is unique and shouldn't be taken lightly.  Very high alcohol content makes this beer potent, so be prepared.

Nose, Look, & Pour - Light sediment, super straw, full head w/ a medium strength, super hopped smell, malt smell is present in the background.

Taste - Sweet malt, hops are the big spoon in this relationship though, alcohol is present throughout, little carbonation probably because it's too heavy.

Rating - 9
This is such a unique experience you should try it just to do it, but don't underestimate this one, or it will knock your socks off.
