The fleur de lehigh is definitely six pack worthy tho I am told it can only be bought in the variety pack. Very good floral hues yet not getting old. Many beers like this either tend to be too fruity or overbearing in the floral section.

The two hearted ale was excellent if you like hopping beer. It was not overly hoppy to the point where its bitter and too heavy. The hoppy after taste had a good finish to it.

I didnt get to try the wacko or troeggs as my friend drank it… sharing is caring! but he said they were way better than the pabst he is used to.hahaha

Really liked the Baltic Thunder. Very tasty and seems to get better while you drink it.

Blackbeary Wheat was also tasty and easy to drink.

I must have gotten a bad bottle of Turbo Dog because that was really hard to drink. Though after reading the description, I can see how it would go well with spicy foods and cheeses.

Konig could stay in Germany. Didn’t really care for that one either but was pretty much what I expected. Coors with a German label.

Haven’t had the sierra nevada stout yet. Hopefully it won’t be overly bitter like the other sierra nevada beers I’ve had but judging from the description, it will be.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Baltic, a little too dark for me.

Big BIG fan of the Blackberry Wheat and the Turbo Dog, really good
beers, nice full taste but not so overpowering.

The Nevada Stout and 60 Min IPA weren’t bad, but didn’t really have a great after taste. Nice start to it, but lost its power as the bottle was
drained.

The Dead Guy Ale was killer. They make a similar doppelbock called Double Dead Guy that is absolutely amazing. It’s frighteningly smooth for 9%. I don’t think Rogue makes any bad brews.

I’d like to put in a vote for something by Stone Brewing Co for the next round.

Re: Blueberry Wheat –

Thought this was one of the better “fruit” wheats I’ve had. Blueberry in particular tends to be awful but this was decent.

It doesn’t have the same bite as a lot of other wheats, so maybe the fact that it doesn’t taste like a typical wheat made the fruit smoother.

Re: Konig –

As lighter beers go, I liked this one a lot. Very drinkable. May have to get a case of this for summer cookouts.

Re: Sierra Stout –

Not my favorite stout. I prefer less hoppy stouts (like Young’s Double Chocolate and the Samuel Smith Oatmeal). Not bad but not for me.
