Great Divide Hoss Billed as a "rye lager" this is actually a marzen/Oktoberfest. You are greeted with smells of brown sugar, toast, and earthy malt. The taste is all sweet malt with bread, light rye, and a touch of spice, Hops only show up towards the finish, but are quickly dominated by earthy malt. Overall rating:- average |
Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild Ale This is hybrid between an American pale ale and a Belgian strong ale opens with a nose of fruity hops, citrus, pine, and light cloves. Hops spring out at first sip quickly followed by sweet malt notes in a grapefruit citrus background. Tropical, pineapple, peach, emerge as the Brett yeast adds spice and fruit. The finish brings back hops and a bit of a dry bitterness. Overall Rating - Very good |
Mission IPA An American IPA, this amber colored brew brings smells of orange and light pine. Taste starts with a light hop presence, resins, pine and a liberal dose of sweet caramel malt. A slight lemony bitterness comes at mid sip but fades to a mild biscuit breadiness in the finish. Not typical of a West Coast IPA and not special in any way except for a great bottle label.
