Belated Reviews the 22's

The bottles are starting to pile up. So it's time to do a few reviews in one post.

Hitachino Nest-White Ale
This is a really solid white ale. It has the nice orange citrus flavors with a touch of lemon. Pours to a cloudy light straw color. This is good stuff for sure. Plus the owl on the label is just damn cool.

Southern Tier-Uber Sun

This is an imperial summer wheat beer. I’ve never heard of the style before. It’s a high gravity wheat beer. I was not impressed at all. It takes everything I like about a wheat beer and Americanizes it. It’s quite hoppy and all you can taste is the alcohol. There have been quite a few BIG BEERS coming out in the last few years. Some of them are just awful high gravity beers. A higher gravity does not make a better beer!!! End rant.

Three Floyds-Blackheart

Wow 3F do it again. It’s an English IPA. It has a earthy citrus aroma that doesn’t usually come with an English ipa. You get a big citrus start and then the malt and hoppy bitternes kicks in. This beer is way to easy to drink for something that’s 9%. I don’t think this a good example of the style but it’s damn good. The artwork on the bottle is great. It was done by Blackheart Tattoo of San Francisco.

Widmer Brothers Brewing Co.-Widmer Hefeweizen

On the bottle it says “uncompromised and unfiltered”. One of those statements is true. This stuff sucks. It pours like a hefe, but has no taste. Just plain boring.
