Mango Cart a mango wheat ale
by Golden Road Brewing

It has an unexpected minimal aroma and a clean start. The middle tells you it’s a shandy with the first real flavor being fruit. The end adds a touch of hops bitter to remind you it’s a beer. The aftertaste stays fruity and asks for more. Light, fun, refreshing, and very drinkable at 4% ABV.

Pirata Pils a pilsner

by Darwin Brewing - 4.9%.

There's a distinct syrup-sweet malt aroma that leads to a dull, flat start. But the middle jumps in with a burnt malt bitter then ends with a hoppy citrusyness. The aftertaste lingers with an honey sweetness that slowly mixes out of the citrusy end. This is one of the most complex pilsners I’ve ever enjoyed.

DirtWolf a double IPA

by Victory Brewing - 8.7%.

There's a balsam aroma that leads to a clean start; the middle bursts with a malty-citrus that jumps to a mild hoppy end that then lingers with a solid mix of bitter and sweet that really begs for more. Soft is the best word I can find to describe this brew.  It's like a malt-hop gravy.  Brilliantly complex.  Enjoy!

Double Blonde an ale

by Blue Point Brewing - 7.5%.

It has a slight burnt aroma that really good.  The start is malty with a stronger bold malt note in the middle. It ends with a hoppy sour that quickly changes to a mildly sweet aftertaste.  A solid brew with subtle complexity.

Florida Cracker a Belgian-style white ale

by Cigar City Brewing - 5.5%.

The coriander aroma is overcome by a light fresh start, the middle is slightly citrusy that tails off into a lightly spicy but sour end that lingers.  This is a subtly complex brew.

Mosaic a session IPA

by Blue Point Brewing - 4.8%.

The hoppy aroma screams IPA.  The start has a sharp bitterness and the middle is more of the same with increased hoppy intensity that ends quickly adding bold citrus tones of grapefruit and orange pith.  A bold and bitter IPA without being sour or piney.

Free Dive an IPA

by Coppertail Brewing - 5.9%.

It starts clean and crisp. The middle is bubbly hoppy with a touch of malt and ends with a piney bitterness that reminds you it's an IPA.  It’s refreshing, drinkable, and just hearty enough.

American Pale Ale

by Blue Point Brewing - 5.1%.

It has a slightly citrusy aroma. The start has a mild bitterness that rides through the middle where a touch of malt sweet blends in. It ends on a sour note that says mostly grapefruit but a little pine. The flavoring is significant, but not overpowering. It's a very drinkable pale ale.

Four Star Pils a pilsner

by Goose Island Beer - 5.1%.

It has a clean, crisp start.  The middle is slightly hoppy, and it ends with a lingering bitterness that begs you for more.  This is a bold, refreshing pilsner.  Enjoy!

Summer Ale a golden ale

by Blue Point Brewing - 4.5%.

The aroma says BEER then slaps crisp; the middle swings into a subtle wheat barleyness; that ends with a striking but short sour note that drifts into a slightly sweet aftertaste that begs you for more.  A complex but subtly flavored beer.

Independent a pilsner

by Coppertail Brewing - 5.1%.

It starts clean and plain; the middle opens up a burst of hops with caramel undertones; the end is crisp with a lingering hop bitter that's bolder than most pilsners.  Fantastic.  But you'll need to find it in July; it's seasonal.

Tangier a session IPA

by Southern Tier - 4.6%.

Bright tangerine aroma adds to an easy start; the middle adds a tart mix of citrus and malt; it ends on bold IPA hoppiness that mellows into a smooth aftertaste.  Not as bold as many citrus infused IPAs, but a very drinkable, complex brew.

Mango Mosaic a pale ale

by Breckenridge Brewery - 5.5%.
There's a strong citrusy mango aroma to start;  the middle hits hard with a hoppy bitter but quickly yields to an orange pith end that lingers long after.

A very complex beer.

Tampa-style Lager

by Cigar City Brewing - 4.5%.
There’s a malty hop aroma followed by a clean start.  The middle is a muted hop bitter, that flows through to the end leaving a slight sweet slight bitter aftertaste.  Not complex, but a drinkable beer.

Texas Amber an amber ale
by ZiegenBock Brewing - 4.9%

Striking burnt malt color for an Amber lager. Clean start, middle is slightly hop bitter, ends malty sweet. A very drinkable beer.

The Badge a honey blonde ale
by Nine Band Brewing - 5.2%
A strong honey aroma adds to a clean start with a malty note; middle has a hop bitter that lingers through to the end when it combines with a honey flavor but little honey sweetness.  Interesting.

Hop Trapp a Belgian-style IPA

by Lakewood Brewing - 6.4%.
Start's smooth & fruity-spicy; the middle hits with a hoppy note, then trails into a double ending that's first subtly coriander sweet that says "tripel", then finishes with a strong bitter that screams "Pale Ale!". An incredibly bold & complex beer.
