Gamma Gamma Ray  IPA from Toppling Goliath Brewing in Decorha Iowa and Bottle Logic Brewing. Has a super strong pineapple mango aroma, very pleasant. The taste follows the aroma, there is a bit of a malty flavor but it takes a back seat to the hops. Mostly a pineapple, citrus, tropical fruit flavor but about any flavor associated with hops that can be described is in here, a little dank, a little pine, leaves on a dry pithy note. Feels like a thicker fruit juice in the mouth. A 22 ounce bottle is all I want with the 8% ABV!

Naughty 90 Oaked Ale English IPA from Toppling Goliath Brewing in Decorha Iowa. Has a malty vanilla aroma, a hint of caramel. Taste has hints of a toffee/caramel/vanilla sweetness and roasted malt. Mostly dominated by a boozy/woodsy flavor though. The hops just don't come through for me other than a little bitterness. Good but not one I will go after again, kinda reminded me of cheap scotch.

My nephew who works for Lagunitas alerted me to this beer some time ago. He said it’s not that great. But you guys have to try it. As for me? No thanks. Don’t,want to drink beer with cultures from someones beard hairs.

I’m not big on rogue think they’re past their prime

i really like lagunitas they make a good beer for a good price, their imperial stout is like 4$ a bomber and it’s a bad ass stout. Also if you’re unsure about barely wines theirs is good and also like 4-5$ a bomber

Pacifico is about all I buy any more. I did get a 12 pack of Corona Premium for the deep sea fishing expedition, but it was so rough no one drank any.
