Terrapin Beer Co. || Peaotch

Peaotch [Midnight Project] | Bottle | A | Georgetown Deli - Wilkes-Barre, PA | 24DEC11
Definitely not considered a lambic. It had slight peach in it, not overpowering at all. Perfectly balanced. This is the first "peach" flavored beer I've ever had and I loved it.

The Alchemist || Heady-Topper


Heady Topper | Can | A+> | TRADE | 13DEC11
This was probably my favorite IPA -  I say that without any conditions. EVERYTHING about this: the can, the design, the smell, the sound of the damn can opening for god's sake, was perfect. Lots of floaters in this one, and with those floaters came lots of flavor. WOW. Whoever The Alchemist is, well... he better not EVER get coal in his stocking. I remember there being a strong pine/xmas tree smell wofting outward from this. I went against the rules on this and drank from a glass (it says drink from the can). Gotta treat this one nice. This is easily on my top 3 of all time thus far. 

Check out the floaters in this one!! AMAZING!!!

Hoppy and smooth. Very smooth as a matter of fact. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It's a bit hard to find but If you ever see it, grab it.

Hoppin' Frog Brewery || Hop Dam Triple IPA


Hop Dam Triple IPA | Bottle | A+> | ? | 2DEC11 |
My tongue is still recovering months after The Hop Dam Crisis of 2011!  Hoppy as the rest with a touch of "hey, i'm not so bad, really, just put me in that glass over there, take your balls out of your wife's purse, and drink me". I listened, and I'm still here. I would not hesitate to experience this one again, ever.
