Brooklyn Brewery Summer Ale - Review
Type: English Style "Light Dinner" Ale
ABV: 4.5%
Color: Golden-yellow with a light orange hue
Aroma: Mild hop presence with some light spice. Floral notes and a level malty nose.
Taste: Very smooth, almost could be a guzzler(if that's your thing). Not bitter at all, some spice(allspice or nutmeg) that tingles your taste-buds. Light richness that can be described as a piece of artisean bread.
Overall: I liked it. A good alternative to the traditional beers(won't mention usual suspects) you'd be chugging on a hot day cooking on the grill or out on the boat. Refreshingly easy to go down.
Score: 8.0/10

The Brewer's Art - Resurrection Review
Type: "Abbey-Style Ale"
ABV: 7%
Color: Almost Opaque. Deep dark reddish brown with some clarity near the bottom of the glass.
Aroma: Soft and sweet with citrus hints, possibly a touch of honey.
Taste: Velvety bitterness...not too much, not to little. Spice that hangs on, with a rebounding bitterness. Some roastiness of malt that comes out of nowhere. Not much on the sweet that was in the description.
Overall: I was anxious as i poured and waited for th thick antique-white head to chill out. Once i got to it the wait was well worth it. Not to bold, but not a pushover either...Resurrection has found a nice balance between the bitter and mellowness we are all looking for in a brew. Hoppiness that can be appreciated and light malt tha tcan be looked forward to.

Flying Dog Brewery - Raging Bitch Review
Type: IPA...Belgian type
Abv: 8.3%
Color: Appealing deep-orange with touches of yellow towards the bottom of the glass
Aroma: Hoppy(Obviously) with orange and lime undertones.
Taste: Hptastic. The citrus hits first, then the hops come through with a bitterness that was expected. Closes with a slight hoppy aftertaste.
Overall: Refreshing. A nice balance between the citrus and bitterness. Not that much malt to talk about. Enjoyable in over-moderation.
Score: 8.8/10

Dogfish Head - 90 Minute IPA Review
Type: IPA
ABV: 9%
Color: Dark Amber-Orange
Aroma: Hopperific...Strong Hop front with touches of citrus popping through. Some lighter hints of malt and possibly barley.
Taste: Hop Heaven. Bitter, but not too much for me, might be much for some. Tones of citrus(orange peel and shall i say...Lemon)! The finish is relaxed and stays on the tongue for a minute or two for continued enjoyment.
Overall: totally enjoyable. Superb hop presence and not to overwhelming. Full rich fragrence and easily goes down.
Score: 8.7/10

Magic Hat Brewery - #9 Review
Type: IPA...They say "Not Quit Pale Ale"
ABV: 5.1%
Color: Golden-Yellowish-Orange
Aroma: Sweet Hoppy with Citrus coming through.
Taste: Sweet Start with some light mellow bitterness to continue and finishes smooth with a light maltiness.
Overall: Love this beer. Basically my first foray into the IPA's. Never turned back since. Depth and originality that is basically undescribable. Beer-Heads and the Bud drinker can both enjoy this one without complaining.
