Hello, Trigger here. Today’s post is about the New England Imperial IPA. The appearance is exactly what you’d expect, a glass of orange juice. On the nose, you get strong notes of citrus with a hint of pine. The taste is what I expect. Minimal malt flavors with a blast of citrus hops on the finish. I also got hints of pine on the finish. Mouth feel is average not thick or thin. Doesn’t finish dry or sweet.
In two days it has sold at a hefty pace. I don’t see this beer surviving the weekend. Give it a shot.

Hello Maltese fans.  Three newer beers released this week, and this means I have to drink them, for science of course.  After the subjects were collected, and tested, I got some results.  
Bloody Angle Red.  This recipe is apparently a historic one.  I tasted a beer that was really clean and well conditioned.  It wasn’t rushed to the tap.  I got some bready notes, and a hint of the roast from the darker malts.  It’s pretty much what I expected.  Fans of red beers should give this one a shot. 
Rye Porter.  Rye is two things 1) a royal pain to brew with and 2) delicious.  This particular beer tastes like a traditional porter with a rye twist.  I got the chocolate notes up front, and the rye spice on the finish.  I didn’t think this beer was sweet or bitter.  A nice sipping beer, especially if you let it warm up.  
Sour Ale.  Saving the best for last? Okay, maybe it’s a matter of opinion.  I think this beer is world class.  The beer appears pretty clear.  The nose, I didn’t get much of one, as sours can have a tendency to not smell very good while tasting great.  This one, minimal aroma.  The flavor, tart without being a lockjaw sour. It has almost a champagne like after taste.  Honestly, this is one of the best sour beers I have had the pleasure of drinking.  If you’re a sour fan, you absolutely can’t pass this one up.  Also, if it sells fast enough, they will have to make more… I hope.  
That’s all for this edition.
