BEER:
That’s Gold Golden Kolsch - Super refreshing German ale; hint of hop bitterness in the finish; hugely drinkable -4.25
La Cocina Dark Mexican Lager - Lacking in roasted malt character; overall a very thin beer; falls short of the standard set by Modelo Negra -1.50
It Was All a Dream Juicy IPA - Hoppy ale with strong notes of grapefruit; a bigger dose in the grain bill would improve this beer immensely -3.50
Oktoberfest - Way too thin for a serious Marzen beer; Lacks roasted character, malty sweetness and big, bold mouthfeel; back to the drawing board! -1.00
