Trader Joe’s 2010 Vintage Ale

A release that I look forward to every year for two reasons; the value associated with this beer is generally exceptional, and Unibroue is simply a brewer that rarely misses when it plays in its own, Canadian inspired, "Belgian" ballpark. Corked...

Josephs Brau Winterfest

In a word, impressed. You never quite know what you are going to get with these cheap, 12oz singles from TJ's but to be honest more often than not I have been really pleased with what I've found. This was no exception. Really deep, garnet copper...

Trader Joe’s 2009 Vintage Ale

Additional notes 01/11 About 14 months old. Nose seems stronger than ever (in a good way). The carbonation is still quite prickly, and I think this is probably the weakest part of the beer, but paradoxically it lends a pretty lively element to the...

Josephs Brau Hopfest German Style Pilsner

$1.00, 12 oz single from Trader Joe's, Atlanta, GA, USA. I've had plenty of success with TJ's and their cheap singles so I feel confident to at least give these cheap beers a shot. Pour is decent in terms of color, but the head, lace and...

Josephs Brau Dunkelweizen

12oz single, $1.00 from Trader Joe's, Atlanta, GA, USA. Appearance (at least in terms of the color) as expected (a dirty, turbid, clouded pour with some chill haze) which is not especially attractive. Head is better than expected and quite tall and...

Trader Joe’s Stockyard Oatmeal Stout

Picked this up as a 12 oz single from Trader Joe's. Nice looking pour with a high, mocha colored head, but relatively poor retention and not much lace. Very good dark brown body with some sharp, garnet highlights. When the head has gone the beer...

Trader Joe’s Bohemian Lager

Yet another 12 oz single from a recent Trader Joe's booty. In summary, a drinkable lager but a poor "Czech Pils". Pour is golden and looks good in the Sweetwater Pils glass. Nice, continuous carbonation with a wispy head and a little lace. Sweet,...

Trader Joe’s Vienna Style Lager

Another pretty decent hit from the Trader Joe, single, $1 a bottle recent haul. Nice carbonation, good head, but not a great deal of lace. Good clarity in the amber body. Good depth in the nose with plenty of malty goodness and sugar promised....

Trader Joe’s Hofbrau Bock

Single 12oz from Trader Joe's, $1.00. A nice, well made beer, and great value too. 22 IBU according to the label. Very attracive, dark golden body with plenty of head and some lovely lace. Good carbonation. Very nice, sweet malty aroma. A little...
