Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA
Grade: A “This hoppy American IPA is a full bodied beer brewed American pale and crystalmalts, and heavily hopped with Chinook, Cascade, Columbus and Centennial. There’s a trophy in every glass.

I’ve had some people request to review more beers that are not IPA’s or hoppy. Sorry....
Ayinger Weizen-Bock
Grade: B As I was looking for this beer on Ayinger’s website, I couldn’t find it to paste in their description. Looking around I found out it’s a winter seasonal. I guess the scene on the bottle with all the snow should of given that away. I poured this beer like I pour all the other beers I have; a way to keep the head from being huge. Nonetheless, the head was very large. I...
