About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Name: Trippel
Brewery: Green Flash
Overall Rating: A
Style: “Belgian Style Triple
Serving Style: Bottle 220z
ABV: 9.7%
Price: $6.29
Aroma: This Trippel is a banana blast to the nose.
Appearance: Cloudy, orange, little to no head. No lacing.
Flavor: More banana esters with a nice balance of cloves. I am thinking the cloves are coming from the yeast Green Flash used.
Mouthfeel: Slightly rough with the clove feel as well as the good carbonation. After the roughness it settles out to a nice smooth Belgian.
Enjoyability: This is an enjoyable brew. Green Flash hit this one on the nail. I will add this to my list of go too brews.
Another take: Brew Basement | Liquorama
