Beer Review #55: Firestone Double Jack

Style: American Imperial IPA

Menu description: Tangerine & grapefruit lead to an earthy malt finish.

ABV: 9.5%

Tasting notes: This is one of those beers where the description us spot on. I taste everything in the order listed! It’s pretty good. The malt back end adds a nice tartness to the fruits and makes this something that can be enjoyed either by itself or with a meal.

Rating: 4/5

Beer Review #48: Clown Shoes Clementine

Style: Belgian Witbier

Menu description: Orange peel & pepper, grassy hops.

ABV: 6%

Tasting notes: Not much to say here. This is like a cross between Blue Moon & Hoegarden. It’s citrus ans wheat and very smooth. A pretty mild, but enjoyable beer.

Rating: 3.5/5

Beer Review #45: Goose Island Sofie

Style: Belgian Saison

Menu description: Tart fruits, clove & pepper, clean & fresh.

ABV: 6.5%

Tasting notes: A tart but tasty finish. This has a fairly sweet, banana tinged aroma. That banana scent doesn’t carry over to the flavor, however. It’s a bit spiced and has a very mild citrus feel to it. There’s some sweetness to the flavor as well. It’s crisp and finishes with only a little bit of an aftertaste. Said aftertaste is a nice combo between sweet and tart. This has a light body and the carbonation takes a back seat.

Rating: 4.5/5
