Gnomegang

A Belgian trippel that is a collaboration between Ommegang and La Chueffe. It tastes a little heavy, almost syrupy. I'll give it another chance because, well, I have a full glass.

Smallbar Pale Ale

I like this beer very much. This has a nice copper color and a crisp taste, with a mildly hoppy taste. If you want crazy IBUs, this isn't your beer. If you like a smooth and flavorful beer with Moderate hops - this is it. It is brewed by Two Brothers using hops grown at the Fullerton Smallbar location. Yummy. And, when the bartender saw me attempting to take a picture using the candle as light, he turned on the overhead lights for me. Nice. That random act of kindness may have saved my night.

Go east, young man!

Yuengling lager. I never cared much for it when I lived in Philly, perhaps because of its ubiquitous nature. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This was the best the 7-11 had to offer and it hit the spot.

The best Oberon ever?

Despite the plastic cup, this just might have been my best Oberon to date -- spring training in Florida, shorts, sun, and my Phillies. Top that.

Yep, it's almost St. Patrick's Day

This is a Great Lakes Irish style ale. Or lager. Not sure. For some reason it has a greenish tinge. Not sure why. It has a copper tone and a little bit of a malty finish. The middle is non-descript. In a good way? I'd definitely have another, but it's early and I'm off tomorrow.
