Special Edition – White Ale

12oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Interesting as I found this beer more substantial than the Weyerbacher Blanche that I drank alongside it - I was expecting the opposite to be true. Mendocino has a habit of producing so fairly average...

Special Edition – Bock Beer

12oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA. Amber pour with a tasty looking head and some chill haze. Not much lace. Head fades quickly though. Nose has a lot of sweet malts which is an excellent sign for the style. Really tasty and malty...

Special Edition – Imperial IPA

12oz bottle from a six pack. Light orange pour with a slight haze about it. Mild carbonation. Half inch head that is nice and dense, Some decent lace and retention. Fresh, zesty hoppy nose. Mild bitterness on the tongue, and to be honest for the...

Red Tail Lager

Single from Michaels. Light amber pour with a strange combo of great clarity at the bottom of the glass, but surprising cloudiness at the top. Odd. Head is scant, lace is nowhere to be seen. Mild whisky notes, very smooth, quite drinkable....

Red Tail Ale

Picked up as a single at Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, USA. Not sure of price. Fairly lifeless pour without significant carbonation, head or retention. Light amber pour, muted aroma and similar attributes in the tastes. Slightly dry, flavor is...

Winter Ale Special Edition 2006-07

12 oz single, Mac's downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Having had the 05-06 Winter offering and really enjoyed it, I was keen to get hold of this. Not my favorite style, so I was equally delighted to find it as a single at Mac's (saved me buying the full...

Eye of the Hawk

12 oz single from Mac's downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Light color for the style, with a nice amber/orange body and some decent head. The lacing is there but scant and loose. Some sweet malts and some ethanol in the nose. Lots of sweet caramel malts...

Blue Heron Pale Ale

12 oz single from Mac's, Atlanta, GA, USA. Hazy, lemon colored pour with (as others have mentioned in their reviews) perhaps a light tinge or hint of green - an odd color indeed. Creamy, piled high head with some pretty nice lacing. Appearance is...

Black Hawk Stout

To me this a much more traditional stout than many of the more modern representations out there. A black pour with hints of brown too, there is a distinct smoky aroma present. Good head and nice lacing. Tastes are on the dry side of things with...

Black Eye Ale

Surprisingly enjoyable. I am definitely not a fan of Black & Tan's, or indeed blended beers in general, but this was very nice. Very dark pour with a small head and some lacing. This nothing if not extremely malty. A lot of creaminess and a very...

Talon – True Style Barley Wine Ale

Like many Barley Wines, respect is required, and if you give the brew its proper due you will be rewarded. A dense red pour, with plenty of viscosity and thick aroma. All that you would expect from a high ABV beast, some lovely "legs" in the glass...

$5.79 Six Pack, Greens Beverage, Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, GA, USA. Subsequently 12 oz single from Mac's downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Light colored IPA with a nice looking, frothy head and some lacing. As expected for the IPA style, the citric hops...
