Sam Adams Stoney brook red

Wow

I had never even heard of this guy.

Very tart/sour.

Reminded me of a kreik lambic type of beer.

Supposedly oak aged, but I didn't Really get any notes of that.

Glad I tried it, wouldn't buy it again though.

4/10

Chimay red premiere

Great.

Such a fan of this one. Reminds me of the ürgie stikle alt.

7/10

Coney isl albino python

Lager brewed with spices.

I have no idea what spices, but it was good. Pretty light, but still a good flavor with a unique character.

5/10

Left hand 400lbs monkey

Certainly not what I expected.

English styled ipa tastes more like a pils.

I enjoyed it!

Better than I expected, by far!

Sprecher 25th

Sprecher's 25th anniversary brew.

Belgian dubbel.

This was surprisingly heavy, despite only being 6%.

Flavorful though. Worth the $4.

6/10

Lakefront fixed gear

"American red ale"

Apparently, the way the make a red ale is by overhopping an otherwise generic ale.

This tasted closer to an ipa.
