It has taken me a while to get this posted, but I wanted to post my review of the New Glarus Brewing Company beers that were sent to my by D34THSPAWN. He sent me a 6 pack of beers, 1 each of Moon Man Pale Ale, Spotted Cow Farm Ale, Uff Da Bock, Black Top Black IPA, Two Women Lager, and Fat Squirrel Nut Brown.

The first one I tried was the Moon Man. This was a very well crafted pale ale, using a blend of 5 hops. This one came across as perfectly balanced, and possessing a very unique hop complexity due to the 5 varieties. If I could get Moon Man around here, it would definitely be in consideration for my "desert island" beer. It is that good!

The Spotted Cow Farm ale was another fantastic beer. It had the right balance of hops, malt, and just a touch of that spiciness from the yeast. Some farm ales I have tried had too much of that yeast spice, but I don't much care for it. This one hit it right on the head without being too spicy, or too bland.

The Black Top Black IPA, was amazing. It had a very good malt backbone which is critical for the black IPA, but without going overboard on the hops.
Three is the limit on attachments, so I will continue in another post. I could ramble on all day about these beers, but I am trying to keep it short as to not bore the Borg. I will say this, I enjoyed all 6 of the beers. New Glarus is definitely a great brewery, and if you have the chance, pick up some of their beers, you will not be disappointed. Thank you D34TH for the beers! Certainly a great 6 pack!
