Went back to that bar for more mango and Apricot IPA.

So easy to drink.

Sycamore Pumpkin Latte Blonde - blonde ale with coffee & spice. 5.8% ABV.

This has a nice taste and some body too it. I'm having a hard time describing it, but I think it's closest to the Legal Remedy World Court White Chocolate Mocha Stout (albeit with some pumpkin spice and a bit more body - and I think smoother). Not on my top few list, but definitely a solid pumpkin choice.

At some pouncy place.


Rhyme and Reason Happy Pilsner. Nice enough 8/10

And a stupid name.

New New New APA 5.6.

Hard to screw up an APA. Nicer than the pilsner.

Wife got some free beer.



X2 orange roughy (tropical APA) and hazy IPA and APA.

Emersons is a local brew started doing craft type beer in 1993. I like all of these beers and they're free.

6 pack of Krombacher in the fridge.

Southern Tier Pumking Nitro - Imperial Pumpkin Ale. 89=Very Good, 4.05/5 on Beer Advocate, 8.6% ABV.

The usual Pumking is good, but a bit rough around the edges going down. I'm usually not a huge nitro fan, but here it smooths out those rough edges nicely. A very solid choice if you're looking for a seasonal brew.

Samuel Adams Jack-O Pumpkin Ale. The smell is fine and the first taste was nice, but the finish is kind of heavy and malty/sweet/creamy/something in a way that is unpleasant. Pass.

75=Ok, 3.19/5 on Beer Advocate. 4.4% ABV.

Hazed and Confused IPA. Emerson's Brewery 5.8%.



More or less paint by numbers mbers hazy IPA. Perfectly drinkable but definitely prefer various types of APAs now.

Still nice and fits well in new beer glass. 3.5-3.8 being generous. Hey it was free and the other two beers in the 6 pack are the ones I wanted.

Retail more expensive than Baltika 7 which at mates rates was 0.8 usd for a 1/4 gallon can.
