		<description><![CDATA[Starts off with nice toffee sweetness picked up from the caramel malts along with soft bread-like yeast flavor that helps mellow out the sweetness. The light flavors that kicked this beer off gave way to a slight bitter hoppy profile. The earthy bitterness continues to the finish leaving you with a somewhat dry aftertaste.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Irish Red Ales have always been hit and miss for me as the balance of malt and hops can easily become one-sided on the side of the malts amking the beer overly sweet for me. Thankfully the brewmasters over at Starr Hill have come up with an award winning recipe that maintains a strong malty sweetness and has enough hops to help balance the scales. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some fruit and bready wheat in the nose but very soft. Definitely noticed a diacetyl buttery smell that overwhelmed the other scents that may have been there. The buttery smell isn't offensive but certainly seems like an odd smell for a summer style ale. Not exactly a "refreshing" smelling beer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talk about a sweet smelling beer, this puppy is bursting with malty goodness. The dark malts give a nice toasted brown sugar and chocolate sweetness and we can thank the crystal malts for the delicious toffee smell. ]]></description>

After the sweet flavors dissipate a bit the flavor turns into a nice mixture of bittersweet chocolate and bitter hops.]]></description>

Type of Beer: Witbier
Alcohol Content: 6.7%
Beer Review -
Appearance: Color is a pale gold. Clarity is cloudy as you&#8217;d expect from a witbier. Nice white two-finger head that receded slowly leaving very little lacing.
Smell: Very appealing. Good mixture of spices are very dominant; cloves, coriander and vanilla. Those traditional Belgian White Beer citrus notes [...]]]></description>

Beer Review -
Appearance: Color is completely opaque black. Pours like molasses and gives a nice two finger dark brown head. Looks very similar to an espresso. Head recedes slowly leaving sparse lacing.
