Craft Beer Is My Jam

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Blonde ale (kõlsch) with peach addition. Essence is very slight at first, but sweet peach flavor grows through the glass. Never cloying, finishes nicely. - Drinking a Peach To Bay by @RebelToadBrew @ Rebel Toad — https://t.co/JmdeKB2Mcw

Semi-dark, roasty, malty but not heavy. Dry cocoa, black patent, just a hint of malty sweetness. - Drinking an Angry Man by @RebelToadBrew @ Rebel Toad — https://t.co/k6piyEbEGb

Light pale-yellow lager, no flaws. - Drinking a Supremo by @nuecesbrewing at @theexchangecc — https://t.co/vB91YqYDt4

Nice take on a California common/steam ale. Malty, clean with just a hint of hops. - Drinking a Wizard's Steam Ale by Dog'Gone Brewery @ Dog'Gone Brewery — https://t.co/MWHws7Erw9

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Juicy citrus hops, but balanced. Not too acidic, retains solid IPA flavors with orange, pineapple, some herbal nature. Finish is light and clean for the style, which improves drinkability. - Drinking a Liquid Haze by @RebelToadBrew @ Rebel Toad — https://t.co/wRu5KR2Ylu

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Bitter but not terribly hoppy, more dominated by dry malt. Nice, clean beer but sharper hops flavors have faded out into a pretty good beer. - Drinking an Abracahopra by @RebelToadBrew @ Rebel Toad — https://t.co/rozGPDWstJ

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Listed as Märzen, hits style pretty squarely. Malty, smooth, not too heavy, caramel sweetness with a just hint of lager fruitiness. - Drinking a German Lager by @RebelToadBrew @ Rebel Toad — https://t.co/1ucT2QLE6r

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Nice, strong IPA, leans heavily on the pine and malt (more than the typical West Coast citrus). Herbal, almost vegetal, dry, bitter, resiny, plays well with caramelized malt base. - Drinking an 5400 IPA by @nuecesbrewing @ Nueces Brewing Co. — https://t.co/BLR1LnyHCK

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Sharp citrus flavors on a sweet wheat base. A little yeasty character, refreshing and drinkable, but overall a little mild for a hefe. - Drinking a Hefeweizen by @nuecesbrewing @ Nueces Brewing Co. — https://t.co/KkHju8X0Cv

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Dark brown ale, tart, immediate balsamic vinegar. Taste is milder than Belgian imports, brown sugar, more vinegar flavors. Nice attempt, clean and to style, but lacking some expected depth. - Drinking an Oud Bruin by @Dentoncbc at @dentoncbc — https://t.co/bZBdsw9yh7

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Nice IPA, mild for NE/hazy style. Cloudy but balanced flavor, not real acidic, gentle hops bitterness with a touch of sweet. - Drinking an Adulting Is Hard by @Dentoncbc at @dentoncbc — https://t.co/Hyzp3F5H6e

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Mild, wheaty, slight yeasty nature. Clean, grassy, good balance of flavors but a little indistinct. Very sesssionable. - Drinking a Lady Saison by @Dentoncbc at @dentoncbc — https://t.co/Wa0yVboAlc

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Lighter, brighter West Coast IPA. Plenty of pine, pine resin, grassy bitter hops flavors with only light toasty pale malt. Balance is sweet hay, not heavy at all. - Drinking a San Diego Style IPA by Symbol Brewing Company/@Dentoncbc - https://t.co/j5dqP9BjmY

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Amber color with a slight rose hue. Light weizen ale flavors (sweet malt) with a touch of wood, vanilla, trace of bourbon. Slight yeasty touch, tiny bit of fruit. Unique and interesting. - Drinking an Old Fashion BA Four Play by @Dentoncbc - https://t.co/gqc58v2zK2

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Bright, floral hops on a lightly toasty background. Body is lager-light, crisp, sharp, with a clean, slightly bitter finish. - Drinking a Law Enforcement Cheetah by @falseidolbrew @ Local Pint — https://t.co/jA6J1R9Ixn

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

On the darker side, roasty amber leaning toward Irish red ale. Malty sweet but with clean balance, smooth, very drinkable. - Drinking an Alcalde by @WFBrewingCo at @wfbrewingco — https://t.co/2Mb4ztgirN

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Light and toasty, too light for ESB style. Malty, clean but watery with not enough caramel malt. More of a thin extra-pale ale than traditional UK ESB. - Drinking a Motley Brüe by @WFBrewingCo at @wfbrewingco — https://t.co/XKoArDeT8C

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Decent West Coast IPA, on the lighter side. Toasty malt, grassy hops, clean but not too strong or bitter. Sesssionable, despite the ABV. - Drinking an Artificial Horizon by @WFBrewingCo at @wfbrewingco — https://t.co/KhlgpMkqIC

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Decent blonde ale, unfortunate chill haze, but any fruit notes have all but faded. - Drinking a Strawberry Blonde by @COHOWLING - https://t.co/WTur8v4RAt

[Paul Hightower @craftbeerusa]

Dark with strong roasty malt flavors and aggressively hopped. Nice bitter coffee, black patent on top of herbal, grassy hops with fair amount of bitterness. - Drinking a Bäkéneko by @toastybrosbeer at @beardedmonkdn10 — https://t.co/Wgs4APP3GO
