Rogue Brewery's Dead Guy Ale is one of the best beers on the planet!!! It is there top selling beer that they produce and for good reason.
This ale is a great golden-orange color. The perfect Halloween color.
This brew has characteristics of being more malty than hoppy, but it has a moderate bitterness, in which reads it like a red ale, and helps to make it great balanced ale.
Cheers, Prost, L'chayim.

Grand Cru Abbey Ale by New Belgium Brewery
The Lips of Faith Grand Cru Abbey Ale by New Belgium Brewery is one hell of an Ale. Whoo Boy, this ale is at a nice 9.5% abv. Cannot go wrong with that.
Appearance: A nice burgundy red. Mr. Burgundy.... hence a perfect abby color.
Flavor: Definite belgian trippel yeast, which means definite belgian trippel ale taste. It has a a strong malt flavor
Aftertaste: No strong lingering taste. Instantly after a gulp, you do get a nice belgian bam flavor and it is rather refreshing.
10 out of 10.

Maui CoCoNut PorTeR... Like hot chicks on the beach
Maui's Coconut porter is like hot chicks on the beach. Seriously, I do not like coconut. I cannot stand it. But, in this beer, I can. This is a great beer. I highly recommend it. It has a chocolate with subtle coconut aromas.
Flavor: Chocolate. Definite toasted coconut flavor. Combined they make one hell of a porter. So good it won a gold medal at the World Beer Cup.
The finish is very smooth. Again, we get a great chocolate taste, and then BAM!!! swoosh comes the coconut.
(is this you sir? MFC? Monkey Fucking a Coconut?) LMAO

Real Ale Lost Gold IPA
Light, Golden color. Very Crisp. Enjoyable |
This citrus is also, evident in the flavor, which reminds me of WA. Has a gneiss bitter finish. For a Texas IPA, this is pretty legit. Later on, I will tell you where to find the best IPA in Texas.
Flyin HH. P. Hay Maui Special: LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!
Special you say???? Yes I did. This brewski is a special one. It is brewed exclusively with Falconer Hops, which is a proprietary blend of the best of the Northwest hops. Essentially Magnum, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, some Sorachi Ace, etc... It is in honor of this brewer Glen H. Falconer and this beer
rocks. Seriously, if they produce it again this year and you see it, I highly recommend it. This brew is super hoppy and has a great grapefruit and citrus flavor. It has a bitter finish which is quite nice as well. My notes indicate MMMM.
Im still figuring out how to set up pictures and text, so bear with me.
