Sweet Water Sch'Wheat

Love me a wheat beer, so I grabbed it for my beer tasting weekend.

Pour/Look/Smell - Orange then yellow, a nice change of pace.  The head is super foamy but light, so it lasts only for a minute maybe.  Sweet orange smell.

Taste - Wow, and I'll tell you why.  There is so much flavor.  The malt is sweet and upfront.  The citrus is smiling at you.  The hops are only there to make sure you don't go crazy.  This one is amazing.

This is the best in it's category.  It's price is just right.  You can't beat it, but I dare you to try.

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.

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

SweetWater Happy Ending

I picked this one up along w/ some wine because it was a seasonal from a brand that I hadn't had in a while.  At 9% alc. it's strong and shows of its merits w/ award winnings posted on the side of the bottle.

Pour, Smell & Look - Best part about this was the surprise.  Stout type pour, with a stronger lasting head than most.  Sweet malt and hops, which is easily identifiable as a darker beer w/ it's warm roast smell.

Taste - This is definitely on the easy side of stout-ville.  It still has a lot of sugars in it's malt, which is matched equally by the sweet, pine hops.  The brown roast flavor comes as the after taste, but it is noticeable with a toffee, then slight coffee.

Even though I like this stout it isn't so traditional.  It's on the easy side of the street in a grouping that is full or hard and traditional flavors.  This one will be a good one to try, but try some others too :D
