Day 264, April 3 - Hurricane Kitty

The Offering: Hurricane Kitty, IPA, Keegan Ales, New York USA.

ABV: 5.5%

Super bitter. Not good. Tastes like a red. Huge piney hops profile combined with a nearly equal malt character. The combination just doesn't work here.

Points: 71

Thanks to Katie

Day 263, April 2 - Stoudt's Tripel

The Offering: Stoudt's Triple, Triple, Stoudt's Brewing Company, Pennsylvania USA

ABV: 9.0%

Serious brew here. Bottle conditioned triple that has a great yeast quality and is complex. Love it. Thank Ailia for the picture. First purposeful bathroom visit.

Day 262, April 1 - McCarthy's Bane

The Offering: McCarthy's Bane, Imperial Red, Knee Deep Brewing, California USA

ABV: 8.0%

Smooth, bitter, dry and rich. It brings together some fantastic qualities. Great brew for the style. I didn't have high expectations but this was quite enjoyable. I would venture that most any beer drinker would have a taste for this Red brew.

Points: 90

Thanks to Katie

Day 261, March 31 - Hoptologist DIPA

The Offering: Hoptologist DIPA, Double IPA, Knee Deep Brewing, California USA

ABV: 9.0%

Super hoppy but fun. If you like straight hops this is a pretty raw brew that will do it for you. 102 ibu's will throw a party in you mouth. Honestly this one is more of a marketing ploy than great beer but it doesn't necessarily disappoint if you know what you are getting in to. Have fun.

Day 260, March 30 - Green Flash Trippel

The Offering: Green Flash Trippel, Trippel, Green Flash Brewing Co. California USA.

ABV: 9.7%

Golden fruity spicy Trippel. Apple nose. Really clean finish. Has some cider qualities and is not as eventful as I like but not bad. Most people would like this beer but it doesn't quite hit the notes I like.

Points: 82

Thanks to Katie

Day 259, March 29 - Drakonic

The Offering: Drakonic, Imperial Stout, Drake's Brewing Co. California USA

ABV: 8.75%

Dark and thick. Rich fruity mouth. Chocolate. Coffee finish. A little molasses. Slightly warming but not aggressive. Pretty solid.

Points: 88

Thanks to Katie

Day 258, March 28 - Whistling Pig

The Offering: Leavenworth Whistling Pig, Hefeweizen, Fishbowl Brewpub, Washington USA.

ABV: 4.0%

Bitter Hef. More ipa than Hef. The color is right but after that nothing is quite right. Not really that good. It's got a lot of lager characteristics, none of them good.

Points: 75

Thanks to Katie
