I'm curious about your review for day #1... because I'm a goof who opened a different door by accident. (The Red Racer calendar had 1 in the top left, and at 6am when I was taking them out to put them in the fridge before work I also opened the top left of the craft beer calendar... Oh well).

Day 2 was a tasty cascadia ale (ie. IPA-ish thing)

Day 2 of 24: Camba Bavarian Winter IPA

Just finished it. Loved the lychee flavour of it.

Day 1 was only mediocre in my opinion. It was over carbonated, had too much sediment for my liking, and had that floral taste. Would have been better in the summer.

Didn't really care for the Jakko, tasted like a regular dark ale to me.

Day 4 of 24.

Tasty, but odd.

Almost like sour pickled plum. Which is probably related to the particular yeast used.

I'm leaving that one as odd. It was wheat a beer with a hint of sour and a floral nose.

Tasted like Blindman kettle sour with a rose after taste.

Are you now a 4am drinker, or just trying to beat GrantC to posting them?

Day 5 of 24. Inveralmond Brewery - De Mons Belgian Abbey

Loved this beer. Hint of spicyness, hint of dried fruit, overall it was great.

Day 6 of 24. Sweet Krampus.

This is my favorite so far. A dark strong beer (7%) yet light and easy to drink.

Day 8 of 24. Schloss Eggenberg Silver Bottle.

Wait, no. That's the wrong Silver bullet. Here's the one:

Zac · « **Reply #42 on:** December 08, 2016, 05:30:14 pm »

Drinking it right now. Find it kinda taste generic like a coors banquet.

GrantC · « **Reply #43 on:** December 08, 2016, 08:46:42 pm »

Yup, maybe just the silver bottle but it's "a lager".

Day 10 of 24.

GrantC · « **Reply #46 on:** December 10, 2016, 10:27:24 pm »

So when they say, "Triple IPA" or "100 IBU" they're not overstating anything...

Zac · « **Reply #47 on:** December 11, 2016, 12:02:48 am »

I don't usually drink IPA's so I can't tell how this one was different then a generic one. Were you guys able to taste anything different?

Yes, it took the IPA attributes from "okay, that's something I might sometimes feel like" to "ugh".
