Type: Imperial Amber...IPA
ABV: 7.5%
Color: Yellow base with deep orange overall tone
Aroma: Hoppy heavy sweetness almost fresh cut grass scent
Taste: To me, dry and up front with the dominance in the realm of Hops. Citrusy-sweet in between with some mild maltiness to the bitter end
Overall: Heard a lot about this beer...Mostly all good and I agree. Mild but strong in some aspects such as smell and up front taste. I can be enjoyed by many types of beerheads.
Score: 8.1/10

Dogfish Head Seasonal- APRIHOP Review
Type: IPA with Apricots
ABV: 7%
Color: Orange-tinted Reddish-Brown
Aroma: Sweet Hoppiness with obvious Apricot notes
Taste: Mildly hoppy with the Apricots coming through strong but appropriately. Not as bitter as you would think. Very easy and refreshing. Mellow malt to finish with a bit of spice and some light malt at the end.
Overall: I was very surprised and impressed. I am a purist i guess when it comes to beer...Lagers, Pilsners, Stoudts, and IPA's, but this fruit infused brew has opened my eyes to the other options out there. This Fruit infused brew was, for lack of a better word...AWESOME!

Flying Dog Seasonal(SPRING) Garde Dog- Biere De Garde Review
Type: Pilsner with French influences
ABV: 5.5%
Color: Semi-cloudy unlike most pilsners, Golden-Yellow, almost wheat-esque
Aroma: Sweet hoppiness that is strong when inhaled fully
Taste: Some spice and more maltiness than hoppiness at first which is a little different. Than a sweetness...maybe honey, or mild citrus hto finish.
Overall: Thoroughly enjoyed as it went down a little to easy. Smooth where it coated my tongue for a few minutes after tasting. In my opinion it would go well with Brie and cranberries or a fresh salad with shrimp
Score: 7.7/10

Heavy Seas - Small Craft Warning Review
Type: Pilsner(Uber Pils)
ABV: 7%
Color: Pale Orange with Yellow Hue
Aroma: Light Hoppy Nose with some Sweetness to boot
Taste: Very chilled out beer with almost no spice to speak of Light hoppiness with a little orange-zestiness to finish almost buttery. Some mellow malt essence.
Overall: I liked it. Kinda reminded me of being back in Germany and trying all the local brew almost every village or town had to offer. Can easily get carried away with downing more than needed in one sitting.
Score: 7.9/10
