My taste experience with Nightmare on 1st Street mirrors the aroma. The pumpkin taste is there, but fainter than I like. The body is very thin, which is surprising given that it's a 9.27 Imperial Ale. I realize the ale style contributes to the body, so it's more of personal preference. ...
Saint Arnold Oktoberfest is colored like real fall foliage, with heavy wiffs of dried fruit, spice, and toasted bread. The mouthfeel is near perfect with flavors that blend amazingly well with the scent. Expect sweet notes of light spice, orange, caramel, and toasted bread. ...
I know I know this review isn't breaking news that Houston Haze is the bomb. What impresses here is the consistency of the beer. The mouth is super soft and has only improved. The citrus just explodes in your mouth while the bitter remains very low on the back end....
Unless you're trading for it, I'm pretty sure Baa Baa in a Galaxy Far Far Away is gone already, but for the sake of cataloging it incase it comes back...
The label says Lenin's Revenge is "as thick and black as your capitalist blood." I will agree that Lenin's Revenge is a pitch black stout, but the mouthfeel was not as heavy as you'd be led to believe. Does it know something about...
Ennie Meenie miney mo catch a beer by the toe! Maybe nursery rhymes aren't your thing but I bet Meenie by Baa Baa Brewhouse will change your tune!...
B52 Upgrayedd smells of grapefruits, and pineapples from the dry hopping and a tiny little alcohol note plays the background. The aromas are ppowerful and ppleasant - two P's for a double dose of aroma. It tastes...
Spindletap Juiceston pours an orange hazy color with a good amount of head that is typical of Double IPA's. The lacing is there but minimal. The aroma is killer on this one people. You get a tropical aroma that is heavenly. I definitely pick up some guava on the nose as well as citrus flavors....
SpindleTap Hops Drop beats down your throat knocking pictures off the wall, and it all starts with a smooth, sweet fruit-punch flavor followed by subtle bitterness and the aforementioned subtly-piny, fruity...
Abide obviously pays homage to The Big Lebowski. If you haven't seen that movie, I'm not sure what to tell you other than you might be out of your element here with these references I'll undoubtedly be making throughout this review...
Buffalo Bayou Tropikal Rotundone pours a cloudy, light amber tone with colorful, fruity scents of mango and passionfruit. The juicy, fruitiness keeps on coming with strong malty, mango flavors well balanced by the crisp, alcohol notes. It's big wave of fruit flavors creates a completely...
Pouring Houston Haze into my glass, I'm almost sure I could take this to work and nobody would think twice if I told them it was juice! I would never do that, but...
My first visit to Whole Foods Market Brewing Company isn't one I will soon forget. I managed to squeeze everything I could out of my first Fathers Day as a dad! I went to work like normal so it wasn't like I had all day, then I talked my wife into going to Under the Radar with me then we ended the night at Whole Foods Market Brewing Company. My wife wasn't thrilled to squeeze in two breweries in about two hours, but its fathers day...
This week I'm a taking a closer look at B-52 Tart Frenchie Blackberry. Blackberry Frenchie pours a lovely plum color with minimal head. The lacing runs down the glass slowly in a classy way as you enjoy her. The nose is your first clue as to how well balanced this...
Bishop's Barrel 18 pours an opaque, ruby brown color with a thin line of off-white head. There are aromas of oatmeal, molasses, and raisin. Some of the earthy tones from...
At the first sip, No Label Mango Milkshake takes me back to elementary school lunches, trading something from my lunchbox to a kid with gushers or a fruit roll up. When we were there, Nick had a glass of it before me. He looked at me with a huge grin and said, "taste this," as he leaned the glass towards me. "Straight fruit roll up AMIRIGHT!?...
I'm being petty af, and I know that. But it's because I love hip-hop, and I'm an artist that pays real close attention to how things are named, designed, etc. It just feels ill-advised to me, but one of Nick's friends said...
Ennie is yet another fine entry into Houston's haze race. I haven't had one that I didn't like, but a few have risen to the top, and this is one. Its pillowy and creamy, juicy and perfectly carbonated. Baa Baa may be one of the smaller breweries in the city, but...
To give you some more background on this beer, Big Mistake is a barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout that goes into 3 different types of barrels: 5 yr old Yellow Rose bourbon, 9 yr old...
The can design for Negura Bunget was actually done by the lead singer of the band, Gabriel "Negru" Mafa, who unfortunately passed away in March. It featured black and grey colors that depicts something I couldn't really make out. It reminded me of a forest shot from overhead....
