Blue Point

Toasted Lager

Style: Vienna Lager

ABV: 4.8%

Supposedly the flagship beer of Long Island based Blue Point Brewery. This one is pretty tasty: refreshing, malty but just the right amount of hop balance.  Solid aroma, but just a bit weak on the nose, which is disappointing.

This would be an easy drinking beer that I could see myself enjoying a lot. Nothing too bold, pretty standard. A solid session.

Final Verdict: 7/10

Back In Black

Style: American Black IPA

ABV: 6.8%

IBU: 65

A pop of this can punches you in the face with a fist full of hops.  No doubt they did one hell of a dry-hop on this guy.  At first I expected (despite the style) a pretty clean, fresh IPA, but was instead greeted with a nice toasty flavor.  The malt profile in Back in Black is a solid compliment to the generous hops that have been added.  Very approachable beer.

Final Verdict: 8/10

Finally, a place for me to collect my thoughts

On beer that is! I’m a huge beer fan, and for some time have really been sad that I didn’t have an outlet to express my enjoyment of certain brews. Now I do. This should be fun.
