Brooklyn Summer Ale
These breweries sure come up with some creative names for their Summer Ale's, no? The nose is faint, with small hints of herbs, banana's, and caramel. The taste is slightly bitter up front, showing a rare hop presence in Summer Ales. The light taste of toast becomes a light flavor of celery that quickly fades. This is a great beer for those looking for a little something different in a Summer Ale.

Southern Tier IPA
The hops have died a bit in this keg of Southern Tier's IPA. It has a few months of age, and that has definitely contributed to its faded nose. Light hints of clove, rosemary, and alcohol can be picked up. Fairly bitter up front, the taste turns to sage and garlic before transforming into earthy tones with light flavors of onion. The flavors are wonderful, but they are unfortunately short due to the intense bitterness.

BBC Kashmir Godzilla IPA
No, this isn't a typo! We have a BBC beer on tap! It has been hard to get our hands on some since the big switch with their Master Brewers. This one sure doesn't disappoint. The nose is truly impressive, with aromas of peaches, apricots, papaya, and herbs. The flavor is fairly bitter, though peaches and lemons are quite evident in the taste. The finish is quick, with the bitterness and peach flavors lingering just for a few seconds. BBC seems to have gotten this one right.
