11.2 oz, clear bottle. 111201936 bottle dot-matrixed in black on the lip of the bottle - whatever THAT means! Pour gives an attractive, solid copper body and some light froth. Head retention is not huge, but decent. Some watery lace. Nose suggests...
Poured from the Hop City growler it is a beautiful, brown garnet look with a creamy looking, off-white head. It really looks substantial, has excellent clarity and is impressive in terms of its presence. Bold looking beer that says 'come and have a...
As others have mentioned, there is no mention of "Special Reserve" on the label here, so I am assuming this is the correct beer. 12 oz bottle, thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this beer. Mid-amber pour with a nice clarity. Head is...
12 oz single. The label suggests that this beer is a cross between a Scotch Ale and a Porter. I'm not sure what that means, but in the final analysis the beer drinks largely like an American Porter to me. "American" in the manner that the hops are...
500 mL bottle courtesy of finewinemike as part of the 2010 Secret Santa. Delighted to get a beer with a sensible ABV for a change, and to be honest this is becoming a rarer and rarer treat. Shame. Beer pours a fantastic red/tawny port color with a...
500 mL bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour delivers a classic, English Pale Ale appearance with a slightly clouded, light amber hue with a spotty head that produces some nice retention and some sticky lace. All is well with the appearance....
Pictured 06/22/24 Original notes 11/07/10 11oz pour @ Taco Mac, East West Connector, Austell, GA, USA. Firstly, $6.25 for the pour! Was once discussed here (long since gone). Pour is an amber color with some nice clarity, good head and some nice...
I always get excited by the prospect of another Ommegang special release and this is no exception. 750mL corked & caged bottle in the usual Ommegang presentation. Beer opens with a slightly disappointing lack of pop, but the pour is better than...
12 oz single. Had this a couple of times before, just getting around to reviewing it now. Color is a beautiful garnet pour with a real, red appearance and plenty of mahogany highlights. Body is great, BUT unfortunately the head is poor and...
500 mL bottle from Rollers, Coligny Plaza, Hilton Head, SC, USA. Nice mid-orange, slightly clouded pour with some haze. Head is not huge, rather fluffy, light and made from large bubbles. Carbonation is light. Very simple malts in the nose. The...
12oz bottle as a single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $1.50. Best before April 2008 notched on the label - it's now October 2008 but I doubt that it will matter much. I MUCH prefer this beer as the old recipe i.e. as a Winter Warmer, and...
22 oz bottle with the usual 100 Barrel Series label presentation. Poured this one into the 0.5 L Harpoon IPA, reverse flared Stange-like glass. Pretty standard, deep copper colored pour with a bit of a disappointing head and very little lace. Even...
500 mL bottle. $4.99 Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. This one is a long way from home, imported by Shelton Bros., let's see how it stands up to the trip. Simple copper body, nice clarity and a simple, bone-white head. Some lace....
Updated Review 01/08 On tap, Taco Mac, Marietta, GA, USA, $6.00 for the 16 oz serving. On draft this is the beer I am looking for - IF only it were about 4%! Simple malt backbone, plenty of flavor, a nice English based malt beer - if only if it...
Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. 22oz bomber. Good dark brown pour with some serious red highlights. Small head that quickly pulls back to a spotty lace and watery top to the body. Lacing is present but a bit too light - no sticky component. A...
500 mL bottle, $3.99 Cheers, Carrollton, GA, USA. Very nice chocolate colored pour with a nice bubbly head that recedes to give a film on the surface. Very little lacing. Big caramel malts in the nose but there is a lack of sweetness in the aroma...
Thanks go out to Travis (aka BigLove) for a chance to sample this MAH brew. Good clarity on the pour, but a really thin looking body. Weak head that quickly becomes nothing within seconds of pouring. Malty certainly, with a decent amber color but...
Dark amber with an impressive, rocky and deep head and a little lacing. Some mild, yet persistent carbonation. Aroma is simple toasted malts, and the taste is a classic (if somewhat dry) British ESB. Caramel malts with a bigger than expected hop...
I am basing the selection of style on this document; http://www.beertown.org/homebrewing/pdf/Poor_Richards.pdf although that is open to very wide interpretations I feel. Malty concoction with the emphasis on the sweet dark side of things rather...
Good looking red/brown pour that extends the color into the head to give a light mocha tinge to the froth. Good lacing apparent, leaving a thin layer of foam on the surface, but not spotty as I like to usually associate with a thin layer....
Quite how this is a red ale, or indeed a Wee Heavy, is really not at all apparent, but here goes anyway. Pours a dark yellow, and for all intents and purposes, apart from the depth of color, this beer looks like a macro lager. Little or no head and...
Very nice looker, with a deep, dense reddish brown body, good fluffy head and some sticky lacing. Aroma and initial taste promise much malt, and you do get some, but not to the extent that I was expecting. Then another surprise - a really hoppy,...
This beer is apparently brewed each year, for the MCI Heritage Golf Classic PGA Tour event, that is held on Hilton Head Island in April. It is usually tapped about one week before the event, and then lasts as long as it does afterwards. I drank two...
Much darker than the majority of the nitro tap similar beers that I have experienced, and a little better than those others too. The first thing that hit me was a smokiness in the aroma. This is one of the few nitro-taps that I feel maintained some...
