James K.: (although I very much appreciate Fieldwork making sessionable hoppy lagers as an alternative to 7%+ IPAs; hell yeah.)

James K. is drinking a Brewer’s Pale Ale by Anchor Brewing Company
"Nelson Hop Blend". Crisp and bright with a nice lemon-peely hop note; a lot of flavor for a sensible ABV. Rotating series? Hope so.
James K. is drinking a Gimme Mo by Crux Fermentation Project
Easy-going, somewhat sweet and malty, mildly bitter; it strangely reminds me of a toned-down 90 Minute IPA.
James K. is drinking a Stone Loral & Dr. Rudi's Inevitable Adventure by Stone Brewing
Grew on me a lot: big piney bitterness, but with a more delicate floral note hiding underneath it.
James K. is drinking a Toucan Touch This by Alvarado Street Brewery
Fruity -- lots of pineapple and orange -- but *very* sweet; too sweet for me. Sneakily strong, too.
James K. is drinking a Defcon III by Faction Brewing at Extreme Ale House
Interesting in comparison to the HUB Winter Ale: very similar caramelly malt flavors, less noticeable bitterness, more banana yeasty notes.
James K. is drinking a Citra Extra Pale Ale by Knee Deep Brewing Company at Extreme Ale House
Easy-going: mildly sweet with a sharply citrusy bitterness.
James K. is drinking an Abominable Winter Ale by Hopworks Urban Brewery at Extreme Ale House
Malty, rich and caramelly with a big earthy back-end bitterness. Tastes a lot stronger than 7.3%.
James K. is drinking a Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA by New Belgium Brewing Company
Smells good, but I *really* don't like the flavor of this: fruity with a strongly acidic and long-lasting bitterness. Feels harsh and rough.
James K. is drinking a Poor Pitiful Me by Track 7 Brewing Company
Very west-coasty: sharp, bracingly bitter but with a lot of flavor.
James K. is drinking a PULP by Fieldwork Brewing Company at Whole Foods Market
Thick and orangey; kinda sweet with a bitter citrus finish.
James K. is drinking a Finer Things by Fieldwork Brewing Company at Whole Foods Market
A good lager, but I really wasn't digging the Mosaic twang; kinda funky, kinda dank.

James K. is drinking a Casa De Citra by Fieldwork Brewing Company at Whole Foods Market
Nice: clean, crisp, hoppy, with a nice citrus-bitter finish.
James K. is drinking a Hey Girl by Track 7 Brewing Company
Like being hit by a large fruited brick: lots of passionfruit tartness with an underlying acetic sourness. OK but very unsubtle.
James K. is drinking a Knights of the Dank Table by Track 7 Brewing Company
Thick and fruit-nectary; big alcohol kick; big rich bitterness. Everything about it is big; but it still remains well-balanced.
James K. is drinking a Hop Bullet Double IPA by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Surprisingly sweet, with a big alcohol note and some weird bitterness: oily, slightly sour, slightly metallic. A bit of a mish-mash.
