Neighbourhood BBQ block party, but still giving the ol' head a break. This wasn't bad though a bit sweet.

Bottle
Beer was flat (not a fault of its own!) but the company was bubbling. Tasted hoppy and grainy but don't wanna evaluate in these circumstance

Birthday theme! Alcoholic, but fine enough. Hoppy. Nothing really exciting coming through.

mark b. is drinking a 49 Karat by Mount Arrowsmith Brewing Co.
Metallic with some fruitiness. Not tasting as much to it as I had hoped. Would be interesting to compare to an established Belgian gulden.

Sour but not cloying. Sorta apricoty, doesn't quite hit the fruity forward sourness but it's not bad.

Haven't had this on draft. Clean but still has a good fresh character. Herbal, but not super piney.

Actually hits the mark pretty good as a hazy pale. Quite mild though. Would like to compare with others, like the easy tiger.

mark b. is drinking a Craft Beer Is Dead by Superflux Beer Company
From last night's head2head. Clean and bitter and even a bit Westcoast from superflux? Turns it into a bit more of generic decent ipa.

Double ipa head-to-head! Yeah, I think I had this one marked correctly. It's just off somehow. Very gassy.

Like the sour cherry taste. Rhubarby. More saisony as it warms. Not at all cloying or vinegary.
