Matt: Mine poured a hazy, golden color, as much foam as you want – plenty of dense head. Highly carbonated-but not overly so. Smells like dried fruit- maybe apricot, slight caramelized sugar smell but definitely fruity- slight apple note. Exceptional mouthfeel-...
by Team | Amstel Brewery, Light Lager, Netherlands, Pilsner Glass |
Actually, Amstel Light was founded in Amsterdam in the 1870’s and later bought out by Heineken International in the late 1960’s. Amstel beer varieties are commonly brewed in the western Netherlands at one of the several Heineken Breweries. Also, both...

Cracked this import while watching some great playoff football. Not a lot of history on this brew nor its brewery. So if any of you beer connoisseurs have a little insight on Peters brand, feel free to share it with us! With that, I will dive right in… At first...
by Team | Colorado, Coors Brewing Company, Mug, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass, United States, Witbier |
Yes, I know this is one of Americas trendiest craft beers…you know, with the slice of orange hanging onto to the side of the glass. Actually that orange is supposed to accentuate the flavor of this beer because orange peel is one of its unique ingredients....
by Team | Belgian Strong Dark Ale, Belgium, Chimay (Trappist), Goblet, Snifter, Tulip, Wine Glass |
Michael: Late this evening, I padded down to the fridge and prepared to sip the much-anticipated Chimay “Blue.” Accompanying the sampler pack I had recently purchased was a brief, but informative and meaningful booklet, describing the true beauty behind the beer. As...

I visited a new bar in Chicago over the holidays called Quenchers. Great bar with 24 brews on tap, 125 domestic bottles, and over 160 imported bottles. Available brews are listed out by country and state on chalkboards all over the bar. I felt both deliriously happy...
by Team | Flute Glass, German Pilsener, Germany, Mug, Pilsner Glass, St. Pauli Brewery |
As a new reviewer, I put a lot of thought into my first beer to report on. Eventually the perfect memory hit me. One college evening sitting around with my roommates, I made a statement I had NEVER made before, “I could go for a beer.” As a typical girly...
by Team | Breckenridge Brewery, Colorado, English Bitter (ESB) / Pale Ale, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Tom: Having never visited Colorado I’m forced to vicariously experience the rocky mountain grandeur through their beer. One brewery that has been gaining my support is Breckenridge Brewery. They have an extensive lineup and produce a couple “small batch” beers...
by Team | American Wheat Ale, Boulevard Brewing Company, Missouri, Mug, Pint Glass, United States, Weizen Glass |
Surprising. This beer was surprising. When I first poured it out, it appeared completely clear with a yellow tint. As I stared at the consistency confused, I checked the bottle to make sure that it was an unfiltered wheat. Though I’m not sure of the exact difference...
by Team | Bohemian / Czech Pilsner, Budweiser Budvar Brewery, Czech Republic, Flute Glass, Mug, Pilsner Glass, Stange |
This lager claims to benefit from over 700 hundred years of brewing experience of the South Bohemian Region in the Czech Republic. So, you Americans that have a pinch of Bohemian in your DNA, better grab this one with pride. The water to make this brew is drawn from a...
by Team | American Amber / Red Ale, Brewery Ommegang, Mug, New York, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass, United States |
Michael: Since driving by the Geneva marquee several weeks ago and seeing the “Coming Soon: Geneva Ale House” sign, my mouth has been watering in anticipation. The Ale house boasts 60+ beers and the variety from bottles to tap was pretty extensive. Not...
by Team | Fruit Beers, New Glarus Brewing Company, United States, Wisconsin |
Brett: I received this gem for my birthday this year and what a treat it was! You want a brew that is unique in flavor, ingredients, and creativity, you get it right here from New Glarus Brewing Co. This one of a kind brew is made and aged in oak vats for one year....
by Team | Adjunct Lager, Colorado, Coors Brewing Company, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass, United States |
An American domestic … Hey, I had to break the seal at some point. These boring brews remain great for many occasions (card games, sporting events, grilling, etc). You can not neglect the beauty of downing cold ones back to back to back … love it! So for...
by Team | American IPA, Delaware, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Nate: This is a lovely rendition of an IPA containing hops from the northwestern US. Hops are continually added, over 60 additions for 60 minutes. It’s a fresh tasting beer with lots of citrusy, grassy aromatics and a pleasant, not overpowering bitterness. There is...
by Team | American Pale Ale (APA), Flying Dog Brewery, Maryland, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Sometimes you run into someone with attitude. Just one look and you know they’re trying to look tough. Maybe it’s a sneer, their clothes, piercings, or a hitch in their step. You know what I’m talking about. That’s exactly the same vibe I got from when I first saw...
by Team | American / Robust Porter, Delaware, Mug, Old Dominion Brewing Company, Pint Glass, United States |
Trapped in my apartment over a recent snow-filled weekend, I decided to take up a challenge from Delaware’s own Old Dominion Brewing Company. “Raise your glass to those who were bold enough to brave the Baltic!” read the label of my Dominion Baltic Porter. Nestled...
by Team | American Wheat Ale, Fruit Beers, Maine, Mug, Pint Glass, Sea Dog Brewing Company, United States, Weizen Glass |
Honestly, go snack on some of mama’s homemade blueberry muffins and you will get a feel for this brew. For the short time I was surrounded by this beer I felt as if there was fresh blueberries in my presence the entire time. Found this unique beer in the back...
by Team | Adjunct Lager, Beijing Yanjing Brewery, China, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass |
Yanjing is a brew made of many ingredients including rice and mineral water from 300 feet below the Beijing YanShan mountain. The crafting and characteristics of this brew are recognized as “green” particularly because this beer is brewed in ways that do...
by Team | Belgium, Flanders Red Ale, Flute Glass, Snifter, Tulip, Verhaeghe Brewery |
John: The first time I sipped a sour I thought there was something wrong with the beer! The aroma was like nothing I’d ever had and the taste was, well, sour! Living in Minnesota I’ve discovered that sours aren’t all that welcome where Swedes and...
by Team | August Schell Brewing Company, Milk / Sweet / Cream Stout, Minnesota, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Two things drew me to this beer on Christmas Eve day. Number 1… It was free. What can I say, I am a cheap beer snob. Make that a beer snob who’s cheap. Either way, August Schell’s Stout was in the fridge that had been prepared for the holidays. Number 2… It was a...
by Team | Cream Ale, Mug, New Glarus Brewing Company, Pint Glass, United States, Wisconsin |
My brother and I happened to be together this weekend for a family gathering, sharing brews and grilling steak, when we just so happened to indulge in one of our favorite beers…Spotted Cow. We both stood outside smelling the seasoned beef, admiring the falling...
by Team | American Pale Ale (APA), Founders Brewing Company, Michigan, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Britton: After 4 ½ years of graduate school, it is difficult to stay motivated to study for your last final ever. I had to take a break from studying because my taste buds wanted something hoppy. I decided to indulge in a beer I’ve wanted to try for a long time. It...
by Team | Michigan, Mug, New Holland Brewing Company, Oatmeal Stout, Pint Glass, United States |
Noel: The shorter and darker the days get during winter…the darker the beer should get too. It’s an unwritten law of the universe that just makes sense. It’s on those bitter cold, dead-of-winter nights that you just can’t say no to a pitch black porter or stout....
by Team | Founders Brewing Company, Michigan, Pint Glass, Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy, Snifter, Tulip, United States |
Britton: The first time I got this beer was at a local restaurant. It was a little awkward telling my young, energetic server that I would have a “Dirty Bastard.” What was even more awkward is that I know her from church. Now her pastor is asking her for a “Dirty...
by Team | American Wheat Ale, Goose Island Beer Company, Illinois, Mug, Pint Glass, United States, Weizen Glass |
After many long days of work I know I always have the opportunity to come home and swirl a brew. Today, I chose to grab another wheat (you will probably begin to notice my preference for wheat beers). Especially in the summertime… At first pour, this wheat beer...
