Evil Power Imperial Pilsner

Evil Power Imperial Pilsner, Three Floyds Brewing Company, Munster, IN
(Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils)
Hazy orange pour with a thick, white head. Good lacing on the glass. Aroma is lightly malted and earthy. Flavors of sweet malts, lemony citrus, and herbal. Dry with a hoppy finish. This is a solid pilsner, but the style is not a favorite of mine.

(American Pale Ale, Rated 100)
Here's another fantastic pale ale. Pours a clear golden color with a nice, white head. Aroma is sticky resin, citrus, and big mango notes. Tastes of peach, mango, herbal, pale malt, and citrus hops. Sweet and moderately bitter. Incredible blend of fruit and hops. Amazing APA. 5.8% abv.

Golden Nugget IPA

Golden Nugget IPA, Toppling Goliath Brewing Company, Decorah, IA
(IPA, Rated 99)
It took a while, but finally Toppling Goliath has made it's way to Wisconsin. This Iowa brewery has a reputation for making some great beer. This is one of them. A hazy, golden pour with a light, white, frothy head. Gorgeous, sweet aromas or tropical fruits, lemon grass, and a little pine. Crisp taste of floral hops, sweet citrus, and earthy. Smooth mouthfeel, well balanced, and a very subtle bitter finish. Too smooth to be 7.2% abv. Great IPA!
