Magic Hat #9.  I think I've had it before, but certainly not this year, and I don't remember it being this good.

Delicious.

But is it a summer beer?

[ice grillin you]

I'm not sure.  It is, however, brewed with apricot... which is a little gay but a lot delicious.  My other option of beers-I-haven't-tried at lunch today was Sam Adams Summer Ale, so my decision was easy.

Found a cool tap room tonight in Middletown, CT, that if it was near my home, I'd spend more time there than hiding from my family in the basement. Eli Cannons

The only beer that I found nasty, was the Smuttynose IPA which tasted like liquid grama-hair perm juice. I'd drink wrung out underwear sweat if it was cold & gave me a buzz, but I only made it through 1/4 of the glass of Smutnose.

So we had the beer tasting last night. 
Started out with the
Penn Weizen- i would never recommend this for anyone that doesn't have a slot.  It was like a mix of a really unnatural lemon, meets high carbonation.  Kind of reminded me of a really crappy cider beer. 

Affligem Blond- Favorite of the night, 6.8% alcohol, i ended up having 4 of these.  Really a Belgian beer, good aftertaste.  I would highly recommend this beer if you like Belgian beers.

Birra Morretti Larosa- known for the blond version, this bad boy was 7.2% double bock but really smooth and light compared to other double bocks.  Had almost a reddish tint to the coloring, and seemed like it would be a good beer for Spaghetti

Hacker-Pschorr Munich Lager- This beer was plain to me in the first 3 sips or so.  Then it started to get character.  Not strong alcohol content wise, but decent flavor.  Seems like it would be a nice 6 pack beer to drink outside. 

Paulaner Hefeweizen- My second favorite beer of the night.  Typical Hefeweizen, good heavy/thick taste.  Seemed to taste better after settling for a minute or 2. 

Blue Moon Honeymoon Summer Ale- Good summer beer, refreshing but too sweet for my tastes.  The wife really liked it.

How was the Stone Coast?  The beer distributor guy last night said thats his favorite brew, it runs 74bucks a case, kinda curious what your take was

i actually had a few smuttynose IPAs the other day.  i didn't think it was as bad as you say, but yes not great.

Weekend update:

22. Red Dog. My favorite cheap ass beer.
23. Schlafy's Pilsner. I like everything they brew, with the coffee stout as an exception.  Not much of a stout guy.
24. Schlafly's American Lager.
25. Labatt's Blue.
26. New Belgium's Skinny Dip. New Belgium is a great brewery, and their Skinny Dip (A SUMMER BEER) doesn't disapooint. My favorite NB is their Abby, and can't wait to add it to my list.

21. Guinness. It took me almost a month to have one of these. I'm ashamed of myself.
22. Yeungling. I never thought it would happen, but I don't really like Yeungling anymore. It's starting to taste a little skunky to me and it always gives me awful hangovers and poopbabies. Having said that I drank about 12 of them last night.

I agree on both counts.  Yuengling was a "high quality" beer in college, and I drank a lot of it.  Now, for some reason, it really tastes like crap.

[mussa]

I can't stand Yuengling anymore either...

[Wingspan]

I don't think you peoples taste have changed (as far as yuengling)...i actually think Yuengling changed it's recipe or brewing process as it was getting bigger.

[mussa]

i wouldn't be surprised

That makes sense, unfortunately.

They could also be struggling with distribution and the beer is actually getting skunked on the way out or on the shelf.
