Rogue Half E Weizen

Nice, rich and satisfying. At 4.99 a painted bottle, it had damn well better be. It was nice and smooth with assertive and yet not overpowering hops and good flavors overall. I drank that and went to see the races and needed nothing more for the evening...maybe, a Cigar...E

4.95 outta 5 frigging satisfying points. If it is great, it needs no words at all.

Avery 14'er ESB

Oh, Yeah, there it is right there...heavy, copper, creamy, wholesome, frigging goodness in an always too darn small bottle but there are five more in the darn six-pack damned if I didn't manage to buy 4 of those and just sit here and enjoy what I have. Sweet and hops dominate and do battle in a good way where there are strong flavors and yet there is also balance. Mild malt and earthy scents come from where this brew is poured, adding to the trance like effects of over the top beer brewing. Gotta love it...I sure do.

5 points as this brew and many others by Avery represent a gold standard. This brew is simply what I call block and tackle...drink a case and walk a block...you can tackle just about anything. Write me and tell me I am wrong.

Avery White Rascal Wheat

This stuff tastes like crap. Not really, I like this Belgian Style wheat ale with its fruity nose and palette. It is blonde in color with a stark, white head. Nice, smooth, and delicious. Coriander and Orange Peel round up the background flavors that make this a really refreshing brew. Drink twenty of them and see what I mean.

4.95 out of 5 points- drink no less than 20 otherwise something bad will happen with your email account and all your tires will go flat on your Yugo. That might be a good excuse to buy a new car and perhaps enhance your ability to date.

Schell Stout

Good chocolaty goodness with coffee undertones. Said the same thing a million times and this time I frigging mean it. Good mild spice tones with the typical alcohol tongue tingles. Warm belly follows and as a bonus it is nice and balanced with good flavors and textures. It is really good and even though it was a warm day when I tried it...I put on the air conditioner really hard to get that winter feel going.

4.75 out of 5 points...winter is coming and this stuff should be in your fridge.

Schell Hefeweitzen

Nice Citrusy with that all so common peppery feel at the finish. Schell beers are almost always exceptional and this one is no exception. Nice with a cool unique flavor overall. Good Stuff and I am not sharing any with you John. So there!

4.5 out of 5 Points. This blows Widmer out of the water and I like Widmer.

Cold Spring Ebony Wheat

Ebony Wheat...A dark wheat flavor if you will...It is dark with a dark flavor. It is good. I know not what the hell it is. Dark Wheat? Heavy wheat flavor...the packaging offers no answer but if I was to give an opinion...It is good.

4.25 out of 5 points ...In what ever they are trying to do

Point Nude Beach Summer Wheat

Good, Well Balanced, smooth, easy drinkin' and very good summer beer. I like the fact that they allow the wheat and its smoothness to become the prominent factor in this beer. There is no fancy spices or not any ingredients that do not belong. Just goodness and Yakima hops and the light flavor that is the result. If you are a woman and all you like is Bud Light...you will like this beer. Point, Well Made.

5 out of 5 points...You can't get a better wheat beer than this...that is for sure.
