I've tried their pineapple before, but wasn't impressed (seemed watery).
Any thoughts on their Pomegranate or Passion Fruit?

Volfas Engelman Lithuanian beer. Really enjoyed the one on the right but the supermarket had 5 or so to choose frome. Left the IPA on the shelf along with that Australian APA they did which was a bit crap.

I had peroni last week. I like that stuff.

I poured it the right way and... No idea.

Pawley's Island Brewing Co. Gray Man Stout. 7.2% ABV. The 86=Very Good (3.77/5) is probably about right. It's got a good taste and great texture, but is a bit more bitter than I like.

It's one of the better generic lagers IMHO. Think Grolsch and Volfas Engelman round out my top 3 in no particular order.

Ice Cream Paint Job by Divine Barrel Brewing. A "Berliner Weisse style ale with Blueberries, Raspberries, Sweet Cherries, and Vanilla." 4.6% ABV.

Google says Berliner Weisse are supposed to have some sourness or tartness, and it really didn't - I wonder if it could use some. The fruit taste is very front and center and it is great if you are in the mood for a light dessert beer.

Panhead Blacktop Oat Stout 5.5%



Somewhat typical Stout. Slightly bitter burnt coffee aftertaste. Enjoyed it 7.5/10. I bfo like the Guiness mouthful.

Birthday beer.



@payn

Hopped macro lager I like it been drinking it for around a decade. Cousin she gave it a 6.5 but it's not really her style.

She likes this one. So do I.
