We love the balances of flavors when it comes to this beer. It has a strong juicy flavor, that seems to be the trademark of Windmill Brewing, but more traditional hop bitterness is still very well represented. With a beautiful hazy color it is definitely an impressive beer. Somehow Windmill also manages a somewhat creamy mouthfeel which is a rarity in the thinner beers. We liked this beer quite a lot around the Table.

It was bound to happen. This beer is a pumpkin spice flavored IPA. While that may not sound very appealing at first, we liked it quite a lot. The sweetness that comes from the pumpkin spice is balanced nicely with semi hoppy backbone which is common in most all IPAs. Finishes smooth and is possibly the most drinkable pumpkin beer we tried from Elysian. All in all a very good beer that was well liked around the Table

This beer wasn't so great for us. While the other Elysian pumpkin beers had a strong Pumpkin Spice flavor (IE nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar) this beer come across as more of a pumpkin extract flavor. While pumpkin is an interesting flavor, we all agreed that there is a reason why it is often paired with variety of other spices. The pumpkin flavor translates into a bitterness and lacks the smoothness that the rest of the Pumpkin beer from Elysian's lineup have. This beer was ok. Some members of the Table thought it was ok, others disliked it

This beer took us by quite the surprise! It tastes almost exactly like a Pumpkin Spice latte but in beer form somehow? We believe that part of the reason this flavor is so spot on comes from the body of this beer. It is extremely thin and is akin to something like Coke. Only complaint that couple of the Lizards shared, was they wished the coffee came through just a little bit stronger. They also wished this came in a creamy stout variety but that is neither her nor there. We liked this beer a lot

While we don't particularity like the classic 312 Wheat Ale from Goose, this beer, the Dry Hopped 312, is an amazing beer. The dry hops and the rather strong wheat flavors balance each other very well with very subtle notes of lemon that leave an extremely smooth taste. This was the first beer we sampled from Goose Island and it was one hell of an introduction. Very well liked all around the Table

The flavoring of this beer stumped the Lizards almost entirely. For about 10 minutes we sat around and tried to describe this flavor with no avail. Ultimately we had to read the description of this beer and that did shed some light on it for us considerably. Per the description, this beer utilizes Cherry flavoring during the brewing of this beer. We believe that is what through us off because it definitely not a  natural cherry flavor. It is much more akin to that of a cherry jolly-rancher or any candy with "Cherry Flavoring." Reception was mostly positive of this beer and worth a try for sure. 

The flavor profile of this beer was one that seems obvious upon reading the description but was surprisingly difficult for us to describe. The description states that most prominent flavors are lemon and lime. Some Lizards picked up on that but it seemed to take a little while. One Lizard equated the flavoring of this beer similar to a semi dry white wine. The others Lizards agreed with him somewhat but agreed that something was off. It is definitely worth a try but we believe that Destihl has better sours in particular. 

This was a fairly unique and memorable beer in our eyes. While the sour flavor isn't as strong as other sours that we have had, the hop flavors have ample room to stretch their legs. This cocktail of hops combined with the sour notes produces a flavor that we thought tasted very reminiscent of apple. However, our opinions may may have been colored from our expectations going into the beer. All in all, it's a very good beer that was one of the favorites of the night for all members of the Table

One of the most prominent features of this beer is the balance that is struck between the natural Raspberry flavor/tartness and the sour flavors akin to sour beers. The two flavors blend together in an amazing way that is extremely satisfying. If we had to knock this beer at all, we would say that the raspberry flavor is pretty light and could be more forward. However, the argument could be made that the less intense flavor is what makes this an extremely drinkable and favorable experience. Very good beer, Everyone at the Table liked this beer a lot

This beer starts with a very strong pepper flavor, pretty similar to another beer that we have had from this brewery. This beer catches more of that pepper flavor and even some of the heat. On the sour note, it's more intense than others beers from this brewery but still on the tamer side in our opinion. This was a very well liked beer taking the number one slot for several of the Lizards

Strange and unique beer. The ingredients don't lie and they come through strong in the flavors of this beer. While that is interesting, the Lizards struggled with if that made it a good beer or not. The basil was a bit off putting to most of the Lizards. However one Lizard really liked it and equated it to good old Italian cooking. However, we all agreed that some chicken marinated in this beer overnight would probably be amazing

A very unique and flavorful beer. You can expect very strong notes of sweet malts, apple, and maple syrup of all things. Somehow all of these work together in a sweet and easy drinking Stock Ale, and at 11% ABV if delivers. If you're a fan of Mead then we would imagine that you would love this beer as well. Definitely on the sweeter side so you could experience that "sticky" taste in your mouth which can be very off putting to some, it was for one of the Lizards. However, 3/4 Lizards really really liked it.

Reception on this beer was slightly luke warm really. Imagine taking all of the fun parts out of a Scottish Ale and substituting it with a hoppy flavor that would normally be found in something like an IPA. That is more or less what this beer tastes like. It wasn't bad, but there are far far better Scottish Ales around. The Table wasn't high on this beer by any means

This sour is pretty intense in this brew. So much so, that the sour is overwhelming whatever fruit is used in the brewing process. The description notes apple and watermelon and guava but sll of those flavors get completely trounced by the sour. Not a bad sour by any means but there are better out there. Overall was mostly well liked around the Table.

This brew kinda of tastes like alcoholic apple juice with some caramel notes. So definitely expect for this beer to be on the sweeter side of the spectrum. With that in mind this beer may not pair well with a lot of things and work in all situations. Little to no bitterness at all. Opinions on this beer were pretty split across the Table. Among the people who did not like  it, the main complaint was too much sweetness leaving an unpleasing stickiness.

This beer has a difficult taste to describe. Thats possibly caused by the smoothness that all these Abita brews have. The taste leaves your mouth so quickly that it can be difficult to garner an opinion. They only flavor that the Lizards were able to pick out is a bitterness. We couldn't place any specific reason for the bitterness. Opinions on this beer were very different all around the Table. Opinions ranged from liking it to not liking it at all

This beer might be among the most unique beers we have ever had on Lizard Liquors. The flavor profile pits 2 very different flavors, apricot and ginger, against each other, and does so in a pleasing way. The ginger is right on the cusp of being overpowering so if you're not into that flavor you may not like it as much. We around the Table however loved it and would highly recommend. 

Everything about this beer is top class. The presentation is amazing in the larger than normal bottle and the corked top. The color of the beer is a beautiful dark red that tells you what to expect. Serves with a very small head due to the rather aggressive carbonation. Flavor profile is more subtle than other raspberry sours, but they balance together in a pleasing way.  It has a moderately dry finish perhaps from the lambic acids in the brewing process or the maybe the carbonation. This beer was very well received around the Table and would definitely recommend 

This beer has a very dark color with only a hint of the red from the raspberry. It almost looks like it could pass off for Iced Tea if you're looking to go incognito.... The flavor is exactly what you would come to expect from Avery. The sour is very prominent in the forefront of the taste and the raspberry gets to shine in the later half of the taste and after taste. The subtle sweetness of the raspberry and sour contrast very well with one another. The Table was very happy with this beer and would highly recommend.
