Founders – Spectra Trifecta – Kolsch style

Moon Dog – Old Mate – Pale ale

Moon Dog  – Mack Daddy – Dark ale

Notes:

Moon Dog pale ale was more hoppy than most IPA’s, Moon Dog is usually very up front I find, love their stuff, though, this was good if not a bit too bitter for me for a pale ale. yes, it did have the fruity nose they offered.

Founders kolsch smelled lovely, tasted a bit too hoppy for a kolsch for me, but still good doing its own thing, cinnamon? definitely, lemongrass? a bit, no ginger, though its on their label prominently.

The Petrus Aged Pale was NOT what I was expecting at all going in blind, I have only had Oud Bruin from Petrus previously, and never had an aged pale ale before. Very awesome beer, and noticed it in the next beer

The aged red was very sour cherry and real nice, sour cherry always has a “fake” taste to me, for some reason, thats cherrys fault, not the beers, liked it. Not overbearing, but def a sometimes beers.

Mack Daddy is super low carbonation and has heaps of malt bitterness, its OK at best. Theres better in this style.

Oud Bruin is still just that and a great beer. Love it.
