Birds Fly Sout Rustic Sunday

I really like the beer but sometimes I think it is fantastic and other times I think it is not. My bottle last night was good but not worthy of 6 glasses imho.

Rating = 5 glasses (down from 6).

St. George IPA

An old friend. A nice rendition of an English IPA. Caramel maltinesss with Fuggle hops. 

Rating = 4 glasses.

June 2009
Beer: IPA 
Brewer: St. George 
Style: IPA 
Tasting notes: (0905) A pint @ Beach Deli after a bike ride. Nice English style hoppiness. (0708) A glass @ Crab Shack. ENGLISH. A pale ale with a tiche more hops. Less bite than an American Pale Ale. Pleasant.
Comment: St. George is located in Hampton, VA. The beers tend resemble European versions of styles. 
Rating: 4 glasses.

Alewerks Chesapeake Pale Ale

Chesapeake Pale Ale is a nice pale ale. It is balanced, flavorful, and quaffable.

Rating = 4 glasses.

Drie (3) Fonteinen Oude Geuze

A recent bottle did not impress me as much as before. Good, but not great. Complex and interesting but I wanted more tart.

Rating = 5 glasses (down from 6).

Here is the earlier review.

Ommegang Idyll Days Pilsner

Here is a second review of the beer. It is what Ommgang ssys it is, a Belgian-style pilsner. I think they combine pilnser malt and Be;gian yeast. The result is more a Belgian blond ale or a light Belgian pale ale. 

Rating = 3 glasses (still).

Here is the first review.
