Standard problem of something good with something bad. Oh well. Plus it's six days after the 11th

I agree with Matt’s assessment

It is a quad, which I like. But it is also barrel aged, which I don't. Those who like their barrels would enjoy this. I wish one of those folks were around to give my last can to.

I mostly remember this being weird and tart.

Very light and surprising hints of Belgian yeast right at the front of this beer, although it's followed by a kind of murky, watery sweetness. Strictly mediocre, and not that far off of a Bud Light kind of flavor.

Watery and bland. A bit of an interesting edge on this, a toasty, grains of paradise-like exotic flavor, but it's not enough to rescue the beer.

The Blood Runs Cold was described as an East Coast IPA but this was the real hazy beer. Good but generic in its juiciness.

Canned-juice character. Reminiscent of the Raspberry Crush, almost still tasted like raspberries. Not my favorite.

Best of the flight. A clean citrus flavor mixed with fragrant hop-forward character. Finishes bitter but cleanly.

Sweet, smooth, lots of caramel. Nitro blandness countered strongly with alcohol, hops and some bitterness.

Smells quite strongly of coconut, with a light, dessert like chocolate-coconut flavor. Finish is very weak and doesn't balance the sweet opening at all; would have liked a darker roast on the porter. Drinkable, but on the mediocre end of the coconut porter spectrum for me.

Less sweet than expected. Pumpkiny, slightly vegetal, good caramel. Very little of anything on the spice profile, which is kind of what I prefer in pumpkin ales, although it meant I didn't get much Jamaican at all.

Starbucks is serving this with a citrus espresso foam on top, and it was... not so tasty. The base beer is dry and has a super-bitter pith finish. The foam didn't mesh with it at all. I may also be biased because I don't find beers with that profile to be "refreshing," either, but I think saying it didn't mesh is a pretty objective statement.

Plain malt, fizzy body, lemon touches.

Pretty standard IPA. But still enjoyable.

Perhaps not coincidentally named, this is an easily drinkable black IPA. Thin black body with some bitter punch at the end. Not terribly interesting but also would probably make a reliable beer.

Fantastic winter ale. Tons of chocolate and coffee tones. Yet smooth.

This was actually better after I worked through the rest of the flight. But that's more a statement of how bad the rest of the flight was. Pseudo-sweet, slightly pumpkin. But not really good at all.

On the sweet side, with rum forefront. Not nearly as over the top as the Avery Rumpkin, which is a good thing. Good pumpkin malt character with its own sweetness, more in the Pumking vein, with a nice pie spice presence. Still, a little boozy.

Watery on the palate with a bit of roasted ale malt flavor.

Not sure what this is... Other than too sweet

Sweet cereal body, stronger lingering hops. Not spicy hops, but a clean bitter.

Far too hoppy for a winter ale. I expected a dark porter and received an IPA.

You can taste everything on the label in this beer, faint floral perfume and a smooth honey finish on top of a maybe-too-strong imperial porter. The alcohol cuts through the subtlety of the other flavors. But overall, a really intriguing beer.

Slight pruney taste and honey on the finish. Good body that's not too strong or thick.

An IPA that lacks almost all initial bitterness, smells like it should, but retains some of the the lingering bitterness. A bit of fruit to the middle, like pear.

Finish seems more bitter than I remember. The malty rye dryness of the finish offsets the effect of the bitterness, but I think I did miss some of the more citrusy IPAs I've tried recently. Still, enjoyable.

Smell gives you a heads-up on the hops which hit first. But then the wheat kicks in after a few establishing sips. It sweetens the middle and finishing, the good sort of sweetness. Not long into it the bite is controlled. The wheat part of the beer is what pushes this into an easy "anytime" beer.

Not very much like a beer - more like a malty Arnold Palmer. Would make a nice summer substitute for a wine cooler or other fruity drink.

Attractive floral citrus nose, a lot like the Hop Rye-It (yum!), but unlike that beer I think the wheat was just a little off the flavor. Still, tasty.
