Cantillon Blåbær
Dang!
Review # 444. Huge thanks to Steasy66 for sharing this beer. I am glad that I know the right people!
Deep pink-purple hued with a light purple head. Good head and good retention. Very clean aroma with no vinegar whatsoever, an instant hit in my book. Somewhat sweet with tart and bright berry notes and only mild hints of funk.
Taste is a clean, lactic and mild sour with strong berry notes. Very very blueberry. I was pleasantly surprised that my "robust" palate could detect the blueberries, they must have used a lot!
Medium body, medium carbonation and a clean finish. Very very good.

Hazy, reddish, blood brown with a fast departing head. Quite complex aroma that was off putting at first but got enjoyable soon --- framboise, earth and grass.
I preferred aroma to taste; I found the intense sourness hindering to the enjoyment of this beer. There was also an odd nuttiness in the finish but I am neutral about that. The body and carbonation were fine.
It was a good beer but too acetic and sour for my taste.

Lawson's Finest Liquids Double Sunshine IPA
Thanks JeepCop for the bottle!
Hazy light golden colored with a very good head and excellent head retention. Smells pretty good --- dank, leafy, weedy. My kind of IPA.
Great flavor, light malt backbone. Medium-high bitterness, good carbonation and a dry finish with no hints of booze whatsoever.
Awesome beer, VT FTW!

Iron Hill FE 15 "Imperial Tripel"
Shared by Yulles, thanks!
Excellent looks: golden color, great fluffy head and great retention. If you take into account the ABV, the looks are nothing short of perfect!
Very sweet, very estery aroma with hints of lemon. Slightly cookie dough-y at times. No alcohol whatsoever.
Tastes very sweet with a strong note of honey and some citrus. Warms as it goes down and yet doesn't seem boozy at all. Furthermore, the finish is nowhere as sweet as the taste would lead one to believe.
Oh yeah!

Jolly Pumpkin Perseguidor (Batch 5)
Thanks dougofthefuture!
Deep amber colored with medium clarity. Funky and grassy aroma with hints of mustard seed (I think). The taste is slightly disappointing: mild, watery and weak? Oaky and tannic. The carbonation could have been higher, otherwise the mouthfeel is ok.
I am not wowed.

Westbrook Citrus Ninja Exchange (2012)
Clean and thin looking... I am hoping it'll be dry. Sweet, citrus and
fruity aroma... I would have missed how malt forward the aroma was had
someone not pointed it out.
Regardless, there was only little sweetness in the taste. It was prominently bitter and citrusy. Light feel, good carbonation and a clean finish.
Westbrook makes some good beer for sure.

Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break
Thanks bucky10!
Dark with a ring of foam for head. Smells dark, fruity and chocolaty.
Dark fruit, chocolate, some acidity and roast towards the end. Obscure smoke. Medium-good body with appropriate carbonation.
It's a good and rich stout; worth seeking out.
