The Kellerweis pours up a hazy, golden-tan color with a thick white head. The nose detects fruit, grass and Eurolager notes. Posted by Eric Branchaud. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Today we are tasting the Sierra Nevada Stout. This stout pours up an opaque mahogany color with a huge dark tan, foamy head. Right away the no...Today...

Beer!: Long Trail Double Bag
http://criticaltastings-beer.blogspot.com/2009/12/long-trail-double-bag.html
Tasting notes and reviews of premium beers. A Critical Tastings. Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Long Trail Double Bag. Long Trail Brewing Co. Bridgewater Corners, VT. Double Bag is a potent brew at 7.2% alcohol, but it is very well-balanced. Drink this one in moderation, because it can really sneak up on you. Double Bag is a slightly hazy in the glass with a deep amber color. To me, the aroma of this beer reminds me of walking through a brewery. The nose is sweet and malty with a touch of hops.

Tasting notes and reviews of premium beers. A Critical Tastings. Monday, May 30, 2011. In recent years, Pabst Blue Ribbon has been seeing a bit of a resurgence in a trendy counterculture "trailer park chic" sort of way. The question is, does PBR live up to the hype, or is it just another mass-market lager with little redeeming quality? Let's taste and see. Posted by Eric Branchaud. Friday, May 20, 2011.
