HeBrew - Genesis Ale
4 / 7
Ale, Ale, Ale - why so many ales? This one at least has the shtick of being Kosher - and that might be why it’s better than most - to be Kosher you gotta pay attention to the details, and that might be why this is one of the best ales i’ve had - less bitter and more complex than most, without sacrificing smoothness and drinkability - i had no trouble finishing it.
my only complaint would be apparent lack of alcohol.

Middle Ages - Druid Fluid Barleywine
4.5 / 7
My first Barleywine, technically an Ale … Sweet and thick, the name does the type justice. A bit much in large doses, I admit I struggled to finish the pint.

Blue Moon - Pale Ale
3.75/7
Good, for a Pale Ale. We’ve been through how I’m not a big fan of the type - the fact that it’s belgian helps, but doesn’t do miracles.

Arrogant Bastard Ale - Oaked
4.5/7
Like other Arrogant Bastards, this is one strong tasting beer - it can leave your taste buds numb, it seems. This isn’t my first A.B., and the oak flavor of this particular brew was a nice addition to the original’s taste. I still wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who’s not sure about beer, or who’s into the lighter flavors - This is more akin to drinking strait whiskey than a hard cider. But i could see it going really well with a big ol’ rare steak and some potatos… and a nap afterward.
Troegs - Pale Ale
3/7
If someone thinks they don’t like Troegs, it could be because they’ve only had this beer. Still better than most Pale Ales, i didn’t enjoy the Craft Brewery’s take on what i consider a “common” beer type - mostly because i don’t like the type. Troegs is at it’s best when it’s doing something unique.
