The reviews from First Friday April 2009

Thanks to everyone who came out for the sixth "First Friday."

For those who couldn't make it, there's always next month (May 1 @ 7:45 p.m.).

There wasn’t a dud in the bunch this month. A run-down of the April 2009 favorites:

THE CLEAR FRONT-RUNNER
Weltenburger Kloster Winter Tralem
The best beer I’ve had in a long time!
Winner
Good. Very Good.
Excellent taste!
A little watery

ROUNDING OUT THE TOP 3
Deschutes Hop Henge IPA
Da best!!
Add 2 more “Da bests”

Fin Du Monde
Excellent!
Got a kick to it.
Nutmeg – spicy and wintery

THE REST OF THE PACK
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
Hearty
Tastes like soup!

Sam Smith IPA
Definitely can taste the hops!

Black Toad Dark Ale
Good stuff! Basic, smooth beer

Stone IPA
Hemp smell. Crisp flavor without being too sharp.

Phuket Lager
Very light
I just like saying it – Phuket, Phuket, Phuket

Victory Prima Pils
European taste

Birra Moretti
Drinkable

Fat Weasel Pale Ale
OK
