Krishna P. is drinking a Rowing Needles by Modern Times Beer at City of Dublin
I detected more raspberry than blackberry, at least on the nose. This is a pretty good sour with just a hint of sweetness on the finish.

Know what you're getting with this one. It's a solid IPA that reminds me slightly of Firestone Walker's Union Jack.

It tasted somewhat lighter than I normally would've expect for a double IPA, but it's still a superb beer to cap the Splatter Festival with.

Initially mistook this for a DIPA after glancing at their board. That said, this still made for a nice pale ale on a hot day at the park.

Smells and tastes like coffee and molasses. So dark in color. Rich and creamy. Hard to believe it's a lager and not a porter or stout.
