Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale
Flying Dog Brewery | Frederick, Maryland USA
Style: Kolsch
Not a bad brew based on my initial thoughts from other reviews that I have read about this beer but still nothing to rave about either. When compared to other kolschs this brew comes up on the weak side in aroma, flavor and texture. Save your cash and go for a better brewed kolsch (IMHO)!

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA
Flying Dog Brewery | Frederick, Maryland USA
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
What a good IPA! Plenty of flavors from the hops and malts in this brew that makes it a good brew to enjoy from the IPA beer style. Very rich in texture that just begs for something creamy or a juicy steak to partner up with the beer! Nice bitter bite on the finish that leaves a tasty ‘sting’ on the palate long afterwards!

Full Sail Wassail
Full Sail Brewery | Hood River, Oregon USA
Style: English Strong Ale / Winter Warmer
Ah the aroma and flavor in this delicious brew! Those that have not tried a ‘winter warmer’ just don’t know what they are missing!! Malty sweet but not overbearing. Definitely a great brew to have by the fireside to fight off those wintry chills! Would make for a great pairing with some warm bread pudding!

Pyramid Apricot Ale
Pyramid Breweries, Inc. | Seattle, Washington USA
Style: Fruit Beer
Nice apricot-flavored brew! Very well-balanced as I was expecting either (a) a very bland tasting brew or (b) something so overly ’apricot-y’ that one cannot even swallow it! This would definitely be a fine brew to enjoy during our hot Texas summers!! Very nice flavors of wheat in the background. Deliciously aromatic – reminds me of Grandma’s apricot preserves; which makes me wonder how well some warm drop biscuits and apricot preserves would go with this brew?!
