Destihl Brewery's Wild Sour Series Flanders Red.

Very good. Starts as a sour and tart fruitiness that moves to a malty/bready finish. Really interesting.

That sounds proper for a Flanders red. You can get some really nice sherry like flavors too in a well aged one as it starts to oxidize a bit. (oxidation isn't always a bad thing, at least not a little bit o fit).

Red Beard's Hopatomic Smash. Good IPA
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Thanks jim but that's likely past it's prime now. I had a few bottles left and had one a week or so ago and it was still dank but lost lots of it's good stuff. And this past weekend brewing at beerlords we had another and it was getting pretty much all malty and losing the good hop characteristics.

I kept one bomber to try in another week just to see what's left.

Great Lakes Brewing Truth, Justice and the American Ale Session IPA.

Poured crystal clear dark yellow with a touch of orange color to it. The aroma is full of fruit. I get mostly citrus and melon. The taste is awesome. Very balanced with the fruit and a touch of bitterness. This is one tasty session IPA. I would rank this in the top 5 session IPA's that I've had. Really good.

I used some Tettnanger after finding a recipe or 2 that had used it as well. Doesn't take much. I used about a quarter ounce at I think 10-12 mins. and that brought out a bit too much hop flavor my liking, which overpowered the apple. But now 2 months later, it's balanced out quite well.

Yea...I could see how it would be pretty easy to over power it with the hops.
