The reviews from First Friday May 2009

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

For those who couldn't make it, there's always next month (June 5 @ 7:45 p.m.).

A run-down of the May 2009 favorites:

LEADING CONTENDERS
Drifter Pale Ale
Hoppy Heaven!
It bites, but I like it.
Got my daily dose of Vitamin C!
Bitter & Tangy… at the same time!

Belli Bock
Really bocky
Yes! Really this was the beer of the evening!
Like it!

Rogue Brown
Like ice cream, but healthier?
I (heart) Rogue Brown
If beer and coffee did “it” and had a chocolate baby
Good!
All I can say is “Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake.”

GOOD GRADES
Blind Pig
Waiting for the bite at the end but it never came – Love it
The bite tastes like celery… Peanut butter anyone?
Good hops and barley taste

Monty Python Holy Grail Ale
It’s the beer that makes me say “Ni”
Eki eki eki botong whoqu zoing zoing

Tetley’s English Ale
Much better than Tetley’s Tea – Smooth!
Best right after opening – Widget Magic.

MIXED BAG
Whitbread Pale Ale
Wonderbread is much better…
A surprise for me tonight. I’m down for the bread.

NOT SO MUCH
Poleeko Gold Pale Ale
Speaks for itself… Po-Leak-O
Can’t beat the Pig!

Capistrano Amber Ale
Hard to swallow.
Watered the tree with it. Hope it doesn’t die.
