Here was my nightcap. Rogue Dad's Little Helper (considering father's day haha). This 7.2% abv malt liquor was decent. Gold color, mild citrus aroma. Not anything like Hurricane or Colt 45 or any typical macor malt liquor. The taste was a little on the bitter side...slight pale malt taste. No sign of hops anywhere. Might try another down the road but probably wouldn't buy a case. 2 out of 5.

Here is one I haven't had in awhile and figured to give it a review. The Harpoon IPA. This 5.9% abv IPA used to be one of my standby ipa's when I was younger (and craft beer was hard to find). This one is a very well balanced brew. Light amber color, floral aroma, nice hopped up taste, not as bitter as I prefer but an easy drinkin IPA. 3 out of 5.
Next up was the Widmer Drifter Pale Ale. I was very impressed with this 5.7% abv American Pale Ale. It had a nice floral aroma, medium body, and nice amber color. Taste was hoppy, bitter, and malty. Citrus notes in there as well. Very easy to drink. 3 out of 5.
Next up was the Widmer Drop Top Amber Ale. This 4.8% abv amber ale was a good medium bodied ale. It had a nice malt aroma with hints of hops. Mouthfeel in this one was very nice...not too strong or overpowering, a little on the bitter side. Taste was nice...malty and hoppy. Good session brew. 4 out of 5.
Ok so last night I tasted a few beers I had got the other day so here goes. First up was Widmer Brother's Hefeweizen. This 4.7% abv golden wheat beer was delicious! It has all of your typical American wheat beer flavors--lemon, light malt, minimal spice taste. Citrus aroma, cloudy....perfect for a summer beer! 4 out of 5!
