Anderson Valley ESB (extra special brew)

mmm!! that's nice. tastes like ..prunes.
10 minutes later as we start pushing our record for time spent drinking a single beer: ..can I change my answer?

Anderson Alley Pale Ale

It's that awkward poser that doesn't quite get it

Midas Touch

More desert-y? The longest-developing beer yet, it starts off grapey, moves towards a bitter hoppiness, and the barley finale kicks in about 10 seconds in.

Aprihop

Refreshing and not overdone. The hops balance out the sweetness of the apricot flavor.

Tire Bite Golden Ale (Flying Dog)

Compared to all the other half-assed stuff Flying Dog Pees at consumers, it's pretty tasty. Wheaty without being too sweet.

Tire Bite Golden Ale

Starts off wonderfully doughy, finishes a bit metallic. What is it? Copper? Aluminum? Iron? Name your metals, man.

Raison D'etre

Strong, dark, woody, one dimensional. That's probably just me though.

Raison D'etre (Dogfish Head)

Teriyaki bacon cheeseburger gone breakfast sandwich with a drizzle of maple syrup.
In other words f-ing delicious.

Blue Point Toasted Lager

Sweetveggiesoap.

Toasted Lager (Blue Point Brewing Co.

Fabric Softener, and that's my final answer.

Left Hand Milk Stout

Reminiscent of a backcountry hospital bed.

Milk Stout (Left Hand Brewing Co)

Opens like a brie-tasting lager; lives like burnt/smoked applesauce; dies like cough syrup.
It's an ongoing simile of not-so-good.

Red Rocket Ale

Like a hoppy stout? I don't know the names for these things really. I can taste the fruitiness. A flowery belch.

Red Rocket Ale

Drink it and try not to think about Tootsie Pops - I dare you!
..it's like Necco tried to make beer.
It's a 3-stager: Beer! Flat soda? Hops..
Drink it quick enough to belch - you won't be disappointed.

Hoptical Illusion

Erm.. Nothing terribly special. They put more hops in. Good for them.
Balanced well enough to drink quickly, though. Beware!

Hoptical Illusion

I think I tasted a vague hint of starch somewhere? Tasty otherwise. Kind of over the top.

Blue Point (wannabe) Blueberry

Artificial ester-ific.
Tastes like if Dunkin Donuts tried to brew beer in their muffin tins.

Blue Point Blueberry

Weird. Watery Flintstones pills lager. Not a fan.
