From Bottles to Growlers- beer reviews by SANDY FELD, certified taster
| Magic Hat HIPA A clean, fresh, assertive hop presence emerges at first sip and expands into dominate grapefruit notes in mid-taste. As the finish approaches a slightly sweet, roasted malt background appears which nicely balances the brew. At a hearty 6.8% ABV this beer is a winner from ever perspective. Overall Rating - excellent |
| JW Dundee's American Pale Ale First sip brings some hop notes that move toward a lightly bitter mid-taste. The lingering finish carries grassy tones behind a faintly sweet, roasted malt presence. Undistinguished and below standard for a quality American Pale Ale. Overall Rating - below average |
Having sampled well over 2,750 different beers in my
capacity as a fully certified taster I can promise
honest, thoughtful, and careful evaluations. However,
remember that these reviews are totally subjective.
Consider this column an informative resource only.
The bottom line is to trust your own judgment and
keep drinking!

| Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning This is a pilsener-style bock lager. It features a hop spice presence that leads to a somewhat peppery residue in the finish. There is a bitter background throughout that helps to cut the fundamental sweet, malty character of the brew. Overall rating - above average |
