Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug

Country: United States

Bent River brews this oatmeal stout with coffee, dramatically augmenting the coffee-like overtones often present in beers like stouts and porters which are built with a large amount of roasted grains. Sometimes brewers can miss the mark and go a little too crazy with the coffee, but Bent River really hit the mark here well. Uncommon Stout pours a very dark brown with a very sizeable head that retains well. Unsurprisingly, big coffee notes...

Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Centennial
Malts: Best Malz Munich, Great Western Crystal 60, Bulk Pilsner
Country: United States

Hurricane Reef pours a bright and clear copper-amber hue with a large cap of off-white foam that persists well and laces the glass as it drops. We picked up big notes of citrus zest in the aroma, invoking impressions of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit, along with secondary tropical notes reminiscent of mango and passion fruit, along with a bit of peach character. Those fruity hop notes come through boldly on the palate too, with juicy...

Country: United States

Presenting a clear coppery-amber color and capped with a well-retained head of off-white foam, Undercurrent looks inviting in the glass as it offers up its hoppy aromas. Bent River employs an array of five different hop varieties in this brew, and the results are compelling. Look for plenty of bold citrus character along with resinous herbal notes, floral overtones, and touches of mild spice. Flavorwise, the story is similar, with a bright...

This amber lager has pulled in several awards for Florida Beer Company over the years, including gold at the 2015 and 2013 US Open Beer Championships and bronze at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival. Sunshine State pours a lightly hazy medium amber color with a fluffy head of beige foam. On the nose, look for a healthy dose of Hallertau and Northern Brewer hops to offer up a pleasant noble hop aroma conjuring grass and hay-like notes...

Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Citra, Amarillo
Malts: Honey, CaraPils, Oat, Pale, Maris Otter
Country: United States

After rousing the yeast from the bottom of our bottles, QC Haze presents a super hazy bright golden orange hue topped by a persistent cap of off-white foam that slowly recedes to a lasting collar. Juicy impressions abound in the aroma; look for notes of orange and grapefruit along with some melon-like notes, floral tones, and some resinous spice. In the flavor department, those juicy hops expand wide across the palate, bringing firm hop...

Malts: Cherrywood Smoked, Great Western Crystal 60, Bulk Pilsner
Country: United States

This 2010 & 2011 Bronze medal winner in the fiercely competitive Double IPA category of the U.S. Open Beer Championships presents an attractive copper-amber hue in the glass as its robust cap of tight, off-white foam slowly recedes to a lasting collar while lacing nicely. Big, fruity citrus notes emerge in the aroma, offering some orange, tangerine, and grapefruit, joined by soft, floral overtones and a noticeable undercurrent of caramel. On...

Browar Witnica - Black Boss Porter

Bottle Size: 330-ml
Style: Baltic Porter
ABV: 9.4%
Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
Country: Poland

The Baltic porter style is most commonly brewed in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, and is a hearty brew with much more of an alcoholic kick than your everyday American or British porter, and is generally reminiscent of an imperial stout. Black Boss is no different, although we found it a remarkably smooth and well-mannered version; some Baltic porters can be downright aggressive (which we like too!). On the pour, Black Boss offers a very dark...

McEwan’s Brewery - McEwan’s Scotch Ale

Bottle Size: 330-ml
Style: Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy
ABV: 8%
Serving Temperature: 40-55° F
Suggested Glassware: Thistle, Snifter, Tulip
Country: Scotland

This classic Scotch Ale presents a gorgeous brownish-garnet-red hue topped with fluffy khaki foam. British beer styles often provide deceptive complexity in a remarkably balanced overall character, and McEwan’s Scotch Ale is no exception. Look for aromas of red fruits and figs, along with malty caramel and light toffee notes. These aromas carry over to the flavor where they blossom across the palate. Rich caramel and toffee character forms...

Bottle Size: 750-ml
Style: Oude Geuze
ABV: 6%
Serving Temperature: 46–54° F
Suggested Glassware: Lambic Tumbler, Flute, or Tulip Glass

Oud Beersel’s 2014 Oude Geuze is a spontaneously fermented, traditional lambic beer that’s brewed with just water, barley malt, wheat, and hops. This blended lambic combines lambic beers from different years aged in wooden barrels, and blends younger and older lambics to create an exceptionally balanced Oude Geuze release. The 2014 vintage is drinking perfectly right now, with an easy-drinking poise that remains hugely expressive at the same time.
