From Bottles to Growlers- beer reviews by SANDY FELD, certified taster
| North Coast Acme IPA A grapefruit nose quickly makes its presence known as a softly bitter hop spice moves to the forefront at first sip. Somewhat light in body, the beer comes in a hearty 6.5% AB, which becomes noticeable as the finish nears. A light spiciness and notes of fresh grass are highlighted throughout. A decent but undistinguished IPA. Overall Rating - fair+ |
| Highfalls Genesee Red Genesee remains the pride of upstate New York as its big regional brewery. This lager has a light touch of hops with some hints of peach and malt. There is a light bitterness and noticeable carbonisation as the finish approaches. A sliver medal winner at the 2005 GABF, this beer is a refreshing American lager that beats the macros at their own game. Overall Rating - 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!

| Magic Hat Hocus Pocus This wheat brew immediately opens with a slightly sweet floral nose. First sip brings a mild hoppiness that balances the sweet alcoholic presence. At mid-tast a citrusy sharpness appears that quickly blends into a malty, candy like finish. While is a somewhat nuanced brew but the malty notes overpower at the end. Overall ratting - average |
