"This Belgian-style tripel has a golden color and a relatively light body. It has a sweet and spicy, fruity aroma and flavor derived from our Belgian yeast strain. Asylum finishes with a subtle, warming character."

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Cherry Thrale's (75)

"Russia's Peter the Great loved English stouts. Unfortunately, the beer could not survive the long journey until 1796, when London brewery Thrale's increased the alcohol content and hopping rate in their stout, creating the imperial stout. We've 'imperialized' this stout by fermenting it a bit further with sour cherries."

Destihl Flanders Red (81)

"Flanders Red is an acidic sour ale with an initial impression of tart cherries and sour candy. The dry, wine-like finish accentuates the complex malt profile and bright fruit notes showcased in this brilliant red colored hybrid of a modern Flanders and German-style sour."

"A timeless, traditional tart gose with its zesty and salty disposition is brightened by a tangy citrus twist. A bier for every día!"

Full Sail Pilsner (82)

"This beer has intense aromas of citrus and pine, supported by a medium body and dry malty palate. As you savor that unmistakable aroma and long, clean hops finish, tip your hat (and your glass) to the generations of hops farmers who help us live the locavore dream every day."

Odell Brewing Company Prop Culture (82)

"We experimented with PROPagating different combinations of Belgian yeast CULTUREs and blending them in specific primary and secondary fermentations. We let the *Saccharomyces* cultures do the heavy lifting by converting the bulk of the wort sugars while the *Brettanomyces* cultures did the fine tuning to round out the flavor profile. The result of our experimentation led to PROP CULTURE, a project of 10+ yeast strains working together to create a fruit-forward collage of flavors such as pineapple, pear, mango, and banana balanced by a clove-like spiciness."

Otter Creek Brewing Backseat Berner (82)

"Like Oslo, Brewmaster Mike's 150-pound Bernese mountain dog that adorns the label, Backseat Berner is your everyday companion for life's adventures. This brew clocks in at 7 percent ABV with 68 IBUs, so load up your buds and partake in this juicy exploration of American hops."

Brasserie Dupont Monk's Stout Dupont (83)

"Originally brewed in the late 1950s by Sylva Rosier, today's Monk's Stout captures the intense Dupont style in a dark beer—deep aromas of black coffee, roasted bitterness, and sharp, clean finish."

Upright Brewing Fatali Four (83)

"Fatali Four is a blend of four wine casks and one gin barrel, all of which have homegrown chile peppers added during the final weeks of aging, producing a fruity and tropical flavor profile. The already dry Four becomes bone dry and more acidic under the influence of _Brettanomyces_, and both the peppers and botanicals from the gin barrel contribute to an oily mouthfeel that acts as a counterpoint to its complex minerality."

Upslope Brewing Company Oatmeal Stout (83)

"Smooth, roasty, and sessionable, our Oatmeal Stout packs full flavor and a robust body. Brewed with oats, roasted malts, and East Kent Golding hops, our stout is balanced with a full body and smooth finish."

AleSmith Brewing Company Speedway Stout (Vietnamese Coffee) (83)

"This Vietnamese coffee version of Speedway Stout is and continues to be AleSmith's most popular variation of the ever-growing Speedway Stout collection. Since 2012 we have been adding this blend of four Vietnamese coffees, known in Vietnam as cà phê sa đá, to our popular imperial stout. The coffee beans were slowly roasted at low temperatures and then brewed by AleSmith with a traditional phin-style filter that gently percolates water through the ground coffee. The result is an intensely aromatic and bold tasting coffee that complements the notes of chocolate and roast in this massive stout."

New Belgium Brewing Transatlantique Kriek (84)

"Transatlantique Kriek's cherry nose gives way to a pleasingly sour flash across the palate that rolls gently into a slightly sweet finish. Crisp, effervescent carbonation keeps the mouthfeel bright and delightfully tingly."

Destihl Raspberry Lynnbrook (84)

"Lynnbrook is a wild Berliner-style weisse with raspberries added, with the raspberry-lemony aroma giving way to hints of brie and barnyard funkiness. The flavor is absent of any hops or bitterness and instead has initial impressions of subtle lemons and yogurt supported by tart, fresh raspberries and underlying lactic sourness."

Dogfish Head SeaQuench Ale (84)

"A session sour mash-up of a crisp Kölsch, a salty Gose, and a tart Berliner Weisse with black limes, sour lime juice, and sea salt."

Green Flash Brewing Co. Soul Style IPA (84)

"Citra, Simcoe, and Cascade hops are layered, allowing bright tropical waves of citrus and floral notes to break gently on the palate. Get stoked on a laid back single and ride a wave to soothe your soul."

Cellarest Beer Project Vesna (85)

"Made from a base of Riverbend pilsner and malted corn, this cold IPA was fermented in our Acacia foudre with our house lager yeast."

10 Barrel Pub Beer (85)

"Made by the brewers for employees to be able to enjoy a light beer during the day while still being productive, now canned for your enjoyment."

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Nooner Pilsner (85)

Tallgrass Brewing Company Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat (85)

"Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat is a combination of our award-winning oatmeal cream stout, Buffalo Sweat, with whole Ugandan vanilla beans. The result is the natural espresso-chocolate flavors of Buffalo Sweat infused with the sweetness of vanilla. It's an exceptional treat on a cold winter's night."

Weyerbacher Brewing Company Sunday Molé Stout (85)

"This brew captures everything you'd expect from a traditional mole—coffee, chocolate, heat, and smokiness. Foremost is coffee, which is followed by layers of chocolate, courtesy of the chocolate malt, cocoa powder, and cacao nibs. Finally, a subtle lingering heat and smokiness from our blend of ancho, pasilla, mulato, and chipotle peppers, as well as cinnamon, which is gone by the time you're ready for your next sip."

Avery El Gose (86)

"A timeless, traditional tart Gose (goes-uh) with its zesty and salty disposition is brightened by a tangy citrus twist. A bier for every día!"

Burial Beer Hellstar (86)

This barrel-aged version slumbered for twelve months, imparting notes of rich, bitter chocolate, vanilla and oak."

Brouwerij Boon Kriek Boon (87)

"For this specialty, we use old and young lambic that has aged in our oak casks for 6 months. Then we add black cherries for a second fermentation. We then clarify, filter, and bottle it."

Fat Tire and Friends Fat Sour Apple Ale (87)

"Our Portland heroes at HUB pedaled Fat Tire straight to the apple orchard. This slightly sour homage starts out with a snap of tartness, courtesy of *Lactobacillus* and apple juice, then gets balanced with Fat Tire–inspired malty sweetness and a slight herbal bitterness. Nice ride, HUB!"

Smuttynose Blueberry Short Weisse (87)

"Smuttynose Short Weisse beers are made with a time-consuming two-part fermentation process. Blueberry aging adds not only a striking purple color, but a delicious flavor nuance that's pure summer."

Southern Tier Brewing Company Creme Brulee (87)

"How, you may ask, would a brewery determine a likeness to hard-coated custard?

It was the French Crème Brûlée that survived to represent our deliciously creamy brew!"

"In the summer of 2013 we took a test batch of our sessionable sour summer ale, Provincial, that didn't quite hit gravity and decided to have some fun with it! We added a heavy dose of raspberries.
