Day 90-Beer 90 Hoppy Boy, Twisted Pine Brewing Co. Boulder, Colorado

A hoppy boy I was not, I open tonight's brew and it began to foam up and I lost almost half of my bottle of beer. What was left poured a slightly hazy copper colour with lots of floaties, not good. The head that was left did stay a long time and it had nice sticky lacing along the sides of the glass. The aroma was grapefruit, caramel and hops typical of an IPA. The tast was fairly well balanced with malts, citrus and hop bitterness. Overall a pretty good beer with nice sticky flavour but way to many floaties for my taste. 3.7 out of 5. As for being a hoppy boy, I added my picture that friends took of me on Mar 28 in the 19th hole after my HOLE IN ONE. I was truly a hoppy boy!

Day 89 - Beer 89 Wyld Extra Pale Ale, Uinta Brewing Co. Salt Lake City, Utah

Earth Wind and Beer, I love it. Unleashed by Unita and me, it poured a clear golden colour with very little head but it did leave some nice lacing. The aroma was not as I expected from the name, it only had a hint of citrus and hops. The taste was watery with a slight flavour of malt and hops, one step up from a bud light. If you want a mild pale ale this may be it but it sure aint wyld no matter how you spell it. 3.3 out of 5

Day 83- Beer 83 Banks Caribbean Lager, Banks Brewery, Barbados

Had a few at the pup with the camp tiger group and some pizza and now my nightly duty. Banks, without the money, poured clear colden colour, not a lot of head and verlittle lacing. The aroma was a typical lager, grainy, a bit sweet and just some gentle hops. The flavors were basically the same as the scent, mildy sweet,decent base grains. It was very light but drinkable and certainly a step up from corona but nothing special. 3.4 out of 5.
