Chris Thornton is drinking a Frozen Over by Crystal Lake Brewing at Untappd at Home
This was right on style for an English Brown ale. It’s creamy and sweet on the palette with bold malt backbone. This is followed by spicy vanilla notes that lead to a moderate hoppy finish.

Chris Thornton is drinking a Scream IIPA by New Glarus Brewing Company at City of Lanark
One of the best beers I’ve tasted from New Glarus Brewing. It’s quite dry and hoppy with a distinctive malt background. The palate is slightly sweet with spicy notes and a hint of ginger that make it a perfect beer for the Fall season. Hoppy finish!

Chris Thornton is drinking a Last Light by MashCraft Brewing at Livery
A refreshing blood-orange IPA. It’s mildly sweet with a color that is slightly tinted orange. The orange citrus notes are also subtle. They are revealed as the temperature warms up. The finish is bitter sweet.

When it first hits the palate this is one of the more sweeter IPAs I’ve tasted. I sense notes of tropical fruits But then the hops kick big time for a super bitter finish.
