Pabst American Pale Ale Beer Review With The Beer PaTroll

For this beer video, I teamed up with Joe from his channel The Beer PaTroll to bring you a live review of the American Pale Ale Released from Pabst Brewing Company. Pabst introduced this 5% ABV and 30 IBU beer this year and we decided to check it out and give you our thoughts, although we know they are not worth much. However for me, I will say that I found it to be a little sweeter than expected, but the hops did play out okay and there was a decent piney feel in the taste. It’s not going to rival any of the craft beers, but for a macro, it played out okay and at times could be a fit for sure. My rating on this one 2.5 out of 5, and check out my video to see and hear more from me and to hear Joe’s assessment.

White Birch Brewing Double IPA Beer Review

A recent road trip led me coming across Double IPA from White Birch Brewing, which is located in Hooksett, New Hampshire. Finding beers are always a fun part of a road trip for sure, but this 9.2% ABV and 90 IBU Double IPA happened to catch my eye. This was probably the most it caught for me, as it was an okay beer that while I found it smooth I also found it a little sweeter than expected. Hoppy enough for sure with the malt tones expected out of a Double IPA, but not much to leave me wanting more outside of having the other 5 that is. 3 out of 5 for me on this one, making it still solid enough. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more on this one.

Rhinegeist Andromeda Pale Ale Beer Review

Andromeda is a Pale Ale from one of my local breweries, Rhinegeist. Coming in at 5.7% ABV and 48 IBU, the beer hits with some fruity, hoppy, tropical, and citrus qualities along with some smoothness in the texture despite having a defined bitterness in the finish. Resinous qualities are also present and overall I found it to be a decent enough beer that I rate 3.5 out of 5. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more about this beer.

Wooden Cask Pacific Time India Pale Ale Beer Review

Pacific Time India Pale Ale is from one of my local breweries Wooden Cask Brewing and carries an ABV of 6.8% with IBU unlisted; however, you will feel the bitterness some with it. Hoppy, floral, piney, clean, grapefruity with a touch of sweetness and of course dryness in the texture all accompany this beer making it a decent put together IPA. Not as known as some of our other local breweries, Wooden Cask is putting out some solid beers and this one for me is good enough that I rate it a 3.75 out of 5. Check out my video here if you would like to see and hear more of my views about this one.

Uinta Rise & Pine Beer Review

Rise & Pine from Uinta Brewing is described as a dark hoppy ale, and it comes in at 7.5% ABV along with 85 IBU. It does not hit with as much bitterness as one may expect and for me I found it to carry a nice smoothness with the helps balanced against the malts. Dark indeed and with piney notes in both the aroma and the flavor this beer provided a nice experience, making it 4.25 out of 5 for me. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one.

New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA Beer Review

Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA is yet another offering from New Belgium Brewing as part of their Voodoo Series. Piney, sweet, malty and smooth, this one provides a nice mouthfeel and mouthcoating as it does go down rather easily. At 9% ABV, this one has the ability to sneak up on person, as the alcohol does not really come through. Also for those usually turned off by IBU concerns, the 70 IBU actually plays out a little less than expected although there is a slight bit of throat scratch. Score this one 4 out of 5 for me, and check out my video to see and hear more about this one.

Tin Man Overlord Imperial IPA Beer Review

Overlord Imperial IPA from Tin Man Brewing is 9% ABV and 90 IBU DIPA that for me was smooth, sweet, hoppy, grapefruity long with a feel of mango and papaya like qualities that came together nicely along with its dry texture. 3.75 out of 5 for me on this one and a beer that I say is definitely worth a try from this Indiana brewery. Check out my video if you would like to see and hear more on this one.

Blackrocks Brewery Grand Rabbits Beer Review

Grand Rabbits from Blackrocks Brewery is a Cream Ale that comes in at 5.5% ABV and 16 IBU and is one that I found light, smooth, creamy, hoppy and drying in its texture. I think it is a decent cream ale that I rated 3.5 out of 5, and definitely worth a try. Check out my video here if you would like to see and hear more about it.

Perrin Brewing Michigan Cherry IPA Beer Review

Michigan Cherry IPA is another offering from Perrin Brewing Company and comes in with a 5.3% ABV and 45IBU American IPA. I will say this one played more with a slighter bit of bitterness versus their Blackberry IPA, which I had consumed previously. The cherry does come through nicely in this light beer and words that I would use to describe it include sweet, fruity (obviously), tart and slightly thin. This being said it is still a decent enough brew that I personally score 3.25 out of 5. Check out my video if you would like to see more on this one.
